CLAIRPORT - Environmental impact assessments at airport level in Clean Sky 2 TE

Abstract

Building on the first Clean Sky Programme, the Clean Sky 2 Programme aims to make a substantial contribution to the ACARE 2050 environmental goals by accelerating the introduction of new aircraft technology in the timeframe 2025-2035. Cross-positioned within this programme, the Technology Evaluator is a dedicated evaluation platform with the key role of assessing the environmental impact of technologies developed in Clean Sky 2 and their level of success towards these ACARE environmental goals. It conducts assessments at three complementary levels: aircraft, airport, and air-transport system level. This paper addresses the environmental-impact assessment at airport level for fixed-wing aircraft, as performed in the CLAIRPORT project.
