Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking

Demonstration of cabin acoustic optimization technology

Funds one team demonstrating lightweight cabin noise-mitigation technology for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft, up to TRL 5.

ClosedClean Aviation Joint UndertakingEU

This is a Horizon Europe Joint Undertaking Research and Innovation Action run by Clean Aviation, evaluated in a single round through the EU Funding and Tenders Portal. One grant is expected for this topic, capped at EUR 5 million, going to the team that develops and ground-demonstrates cabin acoustic treatments that cut noise on the hybrid-electric ultra-efficient regional aircraft concept, proven…

The call wants ground-tested acoustic treatments that cut cabin noise on that same hybrid-electric regional aircraft concept, reaching TRL 5 in a realistic noise-and-vibration setting. The resulting fix needs to stay light and compact enough to fit inside a regional aircraft cabin.
