Imagine air taxis needing to land at busy airports without getting in the way of big jets. This project uses high-precision satellite signals to create 'invisible highways' in the sky. It ensures these vehicles land quietly and efficiently, even when the weather is bad and pilots can't see clearly.
Air taxis (eVTOLs) struggle to land at busy airports without disrupting traditional aircraft traffic. Additionally, noise pollution and weather dependency limit their ability to operate in urban environments.
The project is developing low-noise flight criteria and EGNSS-Copernicus compatible avionics for precise, all-weather take-off and landing.
If you are an eVTOL manufacturer dealing with strict noise regulations in cities — this project developed low-noise flight criteria and EGNSS-Copernicus avionics that reduce the noise footprint for better public acceptance.
If you are an airport operator dealing with congested runways — this project developed highly accurate flight procedures that allow air taxis to operate independently without blocking runway slots reserved for transport aircraft.
If you are an avionics supplier dealing with the need for all-weather landing capabilities — this project developed dual frequency multi constellation EGNSS-Copernicus avionics to enable instrument landing in any meteorological condition.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost information is provided.
The project aims for the gradual integration of VCA operations at busy airports, suggesting a phased approach toward industrial scale by 2028.
Based on available project data, there are no specific details regarding IP or licensing agreements.
It addresses air traffic management and environmental expectations, specifically focusing on noise footprint reduction for urban areas.
The project period runs from 2024-11-01 to 2028-04-30.
It integrates EGNSS and Copernicus data into avionics to allow seamless operation within current airspace structures without interfering with existing aircraft traffic.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 67% industry ratio, comprising 4 industrial partners (including 3 SMEs), 1 university, and 1 research center across 4 countries. This structure suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and practical application rather than pure academic research.
