Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking

Operational stakeholders' group to support the deployment of Clean Aviation aircraft concepts and technologies

Pays a support action to convene airline and airport operators who assess how Clean Aviation's new aircraft concepts and technologies will actually work in service from 2035.

ClosedClean Aviation Joint UndertakingEU

This is a Horizon Europe Joint Undertaking Coordination and Support Action run by Clean Aviation, evaluated in a single round through the EU Funding and Tenders Portal. One grant of up to EUR 500,000 is expected, funding the assembly of a group of aircraft and airport operators who assess the operational implications, gaps and risks of Clean Aviation's disruptive aircraft concepts and technologies…

The call wants a group of aircraft and airport operators assembled to assess the operational implications of Clean Aviation's disruptive aircraft concepts and technologies, identifying gaps and risks. The group reports recommendations back to the Clean Aviation JU and its project coordinators to help those technologies deploy smoothly into real operations.
