All three projects (FORSAT2035, FORROT2035, FORJET2035) are 2035-horizon forecasts for distinct aircraft segments.
DE GRAAFF ADRIAAN
Dutch aviation consultancy producing long-range market forecasts for small air transport, rotorcraft, and business jet segments under Clean Sky 2.
Their core work
AD Cuenta Consultancy is a Dutch consultancy specializing in aviation market forecasting and air transport system (ATS) analysis. Their H2020 work focused exclusively on producing long-range forecasts (to 2035) for different aircraft segments under the Clean Sky 2 Joint Technology Initiative. They appear to provide market intelligence and demand projections that inform European aviation R&D strategy across small air transport, rotorcraft, and business jet categories.
What they specialise in
Each project targets ATS-level forecasting, indicating expertise in system-wide air transport demand modeling.
FORROT2035 and FORJET2035 show capability in niche aviation segments beyond commercial airlines.
How they've shifted over time
All three projects occurred simultaneously in 2017, so there is no meaningful evolution to track. The organization entered H2020 with a focused burst of aviation forecasting work under Clean Sky 2 and has no subsequent project activity in the dataset. Without additional projects, it is impossible to determine whether their focus has shifted or expanded.
With no projects after 2018, their future direction in EU-funded research is unclear — they may have moved to other funding streams or returned to purely commercial consulting.
How they like to work
AD Cuenta Consultancy has only participated as a partner, never as coordinator, consistent with a specialist consultancy brought in for targeted expertise. With just 3 unique partners across 3 countries, their consortium footprint is small. Their role appears to be that of a focused contributor delivering specific forecasting deliverables rather than shaping overall project direction.
A very small network of 3 partners across 3 countries, all within the Clean Sky 2 ecosystem. No evidence of broad consortium-building or repeat partnerships.
What sets them apart
Their distinctive value lies in covering multiple aviation segments (small air transport, rotorcraft, business jets) with long-range forecasting under a single consultancy. For consortium builders in aviation R&D, they offer ready-made market projection expertise that can inform technology roadmaps. However, their very limited H2020 track record makes it difficult to assess depth or reliability beyond this single engagement.
Highlights from their portfolio
- FORROT2035Highest-funded of the three projects (EUR 26,875), covering the rotorcraft segment — a niche but strategically important area for European aviation.
- FORJET2035Business jet forecasting is a specialized market segment rarely covered in EU-funded research, making this an unusual contribution.
