Imagine trying to get a permit for a house built with a brand new material that the city has never seen before; it would take forever. This project creates a new 'rulebook' for aviation authorities so they can approve futuristic planes—like those powered by hydrogen or high-voltage batteries—much faster. It's like building a fast-track lane for safety checks so green planes can fly sooner.
Current aviation certification is too slow and expensive for disruptive tech. This delays the launch of hydrogen and electric aircraft, risking European competitiveness.
A set of regulatory materials and preliminary methods of compliance for hydrogen, high-voltage, and active wing systems. It also includes a digital certification process based on simulations.
If you are an aircraft manufacturer dealing with slow regulatory approvals for hydrogen planes — this project developed new certification methods that aim for a 30% reduction in Time to Market. This allows you to move from design to flight more efficiently.
If you are a component supplier dealing with unclear safety rules for high-voltage distribution — this project developed specific means of compliance that reduce certification costs by 30%. This lowers the financial risk of developing disruptive electrical systems.
If you are a rotorcraft company dealing with the high cost of proving new wing technologies are safe — this project developed scalable certification paths for active wings. This ensures your disruptive tech is compatible with safety standards before 2035.
The project aims for a 30% cost reduction in certification by creating a digital certification process and pre-defined methods of compliance. Based on available project data, this streamlines the interaction with EASA.
Yes, the project states that the solutions are easily transposable and scalable to different segments, including general aviation, rotorcraft, and business jets.
Based on available project data, the project is a collaboration between 33 partners and EASA, but specific licensing terms are not provided in the summary.
The ultimate goal is to achieve Entry Into Service (EIS) by 2035.
It introduces a digital certification process and model-based simulation to replace or supplement traditional slow manual checks.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 61% industry ratio, comprising 20 industrial partners including major aircraft and engine manufacturers. With 33 partners across 11 countries and the direct involvement of EASA, the project has high commercial validity and strong regulatory alignment, though only 4 SMEs are involved, suggesting a focus on large-scale aerospace players.
