About

The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking is a European Union body researching lower-emission aviation technology, tracing its lineage back to the European Advisory Council for Research and Innovation in Aviation, founded in 2000, which grew into the Clean Sky 1 and Clean Sky 2 programmes (2000-2024) as an EU flagship public-private partnership. Clean Aviation itself launched in 2022 and runs through 2…
