Research

Investment in research, development and innovation (RDI) is vital for the competitiveness of the EU aeronautics industry. RDI expenditures represent 10% of industry turnover, one third of which being financed by the public sector. ​

The Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE) providing a guide to future public and private RDI programmes.

Altogether, EU R&I in aviation contributes to significantly reducing aircraft noise, greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption, thus improving safety, local air quality and minimising our dependency on imported fossil fuels.
​
​EU supports the European RDI effort in aeronautics through with:
​

1. Funds from Horizon Europe - Cluster 5 - Climate, Energy and Mobility
2. ​Joint Technology Initiatives: Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking and SESAR Join Undertaking
