Advanced noise-reducing technologies for propulsion systems of next generation Ultra-efficient SMR aircraft
Funds one team developing lightweight, noise-reducing fan and intake technology for a next-generation single-aisle aircraft's ultra-high-bypass-ratio engines, up to TRL 5.
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 matures distortion-tolerant fan and intake solutions for ultra-high-bypass-ratio propulsion on the Ultra-Efficient Short/Medium-Range aircraft con…
The call wants advanced noise-reducing and lightweight technologies for ultra-high-bypass-ratio (UHBR) propulsion systems on the Ultra-Efficient Short/Medium-Range aircraft concept, maturing distortion-tolerant fan and intake solutions to TRL 5. Proposals must be backed by improved and validated aero-acoustic modelling, aiming for both cumulative noise reduction and structural weight savings.
