Green Rotorcraft

Environment-friendly flight paths

Optimisation of the Take Off and Landing Procedures:
ξ rotorcraft operations to and from helipads/airports located within densely populated areas will be implemented
ξ to reduce significantly external noise and fuel consumption

Optimisation of the Mission Profiles
ξ specific tools and methodologies will be implemented to define mission profiles
ξ requiring lower fuel consumption and reduced NOX and CO2 emissions

Green Rotorcraft and the Environmental Impact
ξ the Rotorcraft ITD will deliver innovative rotor blades and novel turbine engine installation for noise reduction
ξ the demonstration of diesel engine integration,
ξ airframe drag minimisation features and
ξ advanced electrical systems will enable the reduction of fuel consumption and elimination of noxious hydraulic fluids

External noise reduction / Rotor Blades
ξ passive optimisation and active control techniques to minimise impulsive air loads hence the radiated noise

External noise reduction / Turboshaft engine installation
ξ design of air intakes and exhaust nozzles to mask or absorb the noise especially in hover and low speed flight conditions

Cleaner and more efficient power use / Airframe
ξ design features of cabin volume, tail unit, rotor pylon and hub for the reduction of aerodynamic drag and download in cruise flight conditions

Cleaner and more efficient power use / Engine integration
ξ adaptation of diesel engine technology to light helicopters
ξ turboshaft engine installation optimised for minimal power loss

Optimisation of Flight Procedures for Tilt Rotor
ξ the minimisation of the tiltrotor noise footprint during approach and departure

Optimisation of Low Altitude Navigation
ξ for low altitude navigation needed to short flights and non pressurised cabins,
ξ noise impact minimisation will be achieved by 3D optimised VFR and IFR routes
ξ relying on accurate GNSS navigation (EGNOS, Galileo)

Cleaner and more efficient power use / Electrical systems
ξ new architecture enabling energy management optimisation on helicopters
ξ implementing generic principles and architecture developed within the Eco-Design ITD

Eco-Design for Systems (for Small Aircraft)

Removal of hydraulic fluid
ξ significant benefits expected on the environmental impact in terms of aircraft maintenance and disposal

On board power-by-wire
ξ the use of electricity as only media offers a lot of possibility in terms of energy management
ξ such as Intelligent load shedding, power regeneration on actuators, sharing of Electrical Control Unit over actuators
ξ expected benefits in terms of greener power efficiency and subsequently in terms of fuel consumption and,
ξ consequently, CO2 and NOx emission reduction

Sustainable and Green Engines
ξ propulsion is the major contributor to the environmental challenges set by the SRA:
ξ largest noise source, the only source of NOx and a major contributor to fuel burn
ξ the engines of 2020 should be radically different from those in service today
ξ bypass ratios need to be much higher
ξ engine nacelles may even disappear
ξ power off takes will increase as the size of the core reduces
ξ real time diagnostics will enable engine maintenance to be optimised

ξ new vehicle concepts from the Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft ITD and the Green Regional Aircraft ITD
ξ the purpose of the Sustainable and Green Engine (SAGE) ITD is to assess, design, build and test up to five full-scale engine demonstrators
ξ the proposed demonstrations will prepare new solutions for the complete range of the market,
ξ with engines for the narrow body fleet high thrust engines for wide body aircraft regional aircraft engines helicopter engines

ξ a focus will be put on narrow body aircraft engines where different configurations are possible
ξ step change technologies and the use of alternative fuels will be tested on the appropriate demonstration

The first stage
ξ studies around the specific concept studies, conducted with airframe manufacturers and system suppliers,
ξ on aircraft/engine/system concepts
ξ in order to fully define the requirements for enabling technology and demonstration programmes
ξ the principal focus of these studies will be upon radical architectures for aircraft, engine and systems,
ξ building on the output of programmes such as NACRE, POA and MOET

The second stage
ξ demonstrator vehicles will be selected
ξ many technologies have the option of being validated in more than one demonstrator vehicle
ξ these will be selected based upon technology maturity and market requirement,
ξ and to maximise the technology validation opportunity

Drones are a growing business in Europe,
delivering services in all environments, including urban areas.
Mapping, infrastructure inspections, precision agriculture,
delivery of goods and e-commerce are just some of the services possible using drones.

A clear framework at EU level would allow the creation of a truly European market
for drone services and aircraft, thereby harnessing potential for jobs and
growth creation in this new sector of the economy.

SESAR Joint Undertaking (SJU) took part in the European High-Level Conference on Drones
ξ organised by the Finnish Ministry of Transport in collaboration with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
ξ European Commissioner for Transport, Violeta Bulc,
ξ urged the European drone industry to ensure that drones and flying cars are zero emission,
ξ safe and fully integrated into the European ATM system,
ξ with a target date of 2019 for the deployment of initial U-space services

ξ stressed the need for further R&I
ξ announced SJU will be launching a call for U-Space demonstration projects to the sum of 9,5 million EUR

ξ building on from the Exploratory Research call on Remotely Piloted Aircraft System
ξ this call for tenders will aim to cover a number of large-scale demonstrations
ξ to demonstrate U1 and U2 services, and
ξ support the development of requirements and standards.
ξ Subject to the signature of a Delegation Agreement between the SJU and the Commission in 2017,
ξ this call will be launched in early 2018.
ξ This call will be an open call to complement ongoing U-space activities,
ξ speed up U-space deployment and stimulate close cooperation with EASA,
ξ standardisation bodies and industry, including newly emerging stakeholders.

ξ Patrick Ky, Executive Director of EASA,
ξ Mathew Baldwin, Deputy Director-General, Directorate-General Mobility and Transport European Commission
ξ Pekka Henttu, Director-General of the Finnish Transport Agency and Chairman of the EASA Management Board
ξ also stressed the need for demonstration projects

ξ Florian Guillermet, Executive Director of SESAR JU
ξ outlined the need for the European drone industry to act quickly and
ξ highlighted SESAR’s role in transforming R&D into a reality.

ξ Helsinki Declaration was published ‘seizing digital technologies to deliver advanced drone operations safely and securely’,
ξ which is a rallying call for the European drone community
ξ to turn the vision for U-Space blueprint delivered by SESAR into a reality.

ξ The SJU also took part in the exhibition at the event with a small stand and
ξ an Augmented Reality tool, demonstrating the U-Space system of the future.
