• to step up the cooperation and coordination of research activities in aeronautics carried out national level through thenetworking of research activities at EU level

• to provide an effective platform to support the ACARE initiative and the further implementation and development of the Strategic Research Agenda

• to support EU and EUROCONTROL activities for implementation of Single European Sky for a seamlessAir Traffic Management all over Europe

• to initiate possible joint actions

AirTN Overall Objectives



To establish best practices to improve aeronautical cooperation on the European level and initiation of possible joint actions

To organise thematic fora in order to foster dissemination of publishable project results

To collect information on R&T across the technological areas of the Air Transport System

To develop an overall view of the global competitive civil aeronautical landscape, in particular considering Europe´sposition in the international framework

To create the necessary information infrastructure to support mutual understanding and future cooperative planning

To establish a virtual laboratory to be used as an electronic communication mean

WP Leader (Country)WP



WP1: BMWI / DLR/PT-LF (GERMANY) will manage this work package as the coordinator

WP1 comprises the following activities:

• Management activities

Administrative overall management of all legal, contractual and financial issues related to the AirTN project as well as all basic managerial tasks.

• Technical and scientific coordination / Interface activities

The overall coordination of the work packages in the AirTN network shall be performed through the coordinator and the AirTN Management Team (work package leaders)



WP2: EZ/NIVR/NLR (THE NETHERLANDS) will manage this work package


Establishment of a virtual laboratory to be used as an electronic communication and archive tool

• to increase coherence • to facilitate co-ordination of all activities• to promote co-operation across work packages

The web-site (www.AirTN.eu) will consist of:

• a public part (active)• a restricted part (Intranet – active soon)



WP3: BMVIT / FFG (AUSTRIA) will manage this work package


Exchange information on existing civil aeronautics programmes, running projects and the respective RTD priorities

• to collect all relevant information • to send out a questionnaire to all partners (done, October 2006)• to organise two workshops that bring together programme managers

and stakeholders.

Workshop 1 “Information exchange, exchange of opinions and mutual learning”

Workshop 2 “Identification of pillars for future cooperation”



WP4: DTI (UNITED KINGDOM) will manage this work package


Describe the global civil aeronautics RTD landscape considering the global competitiveness of European industry and supply chain by focussing on

• types of research undertaken in different global regions • funding structures existing in countries outside of the EU• major aeronautics programmes • key industry and international supply chain issues • activities of other organisations• level of internationalisation involved

The aim will be achieved by identification of relevant information, analysis, reporting and dissemination. International linkages and exchanges may also be established.



WP5: DPAC/ONERA (FRANCE) will manage this work package


Collect information on R&T on a research area by research area basis and initiate possible joint actions

Preparation of 7 “expert meetings”:

• 1st meeting: “structures” 26th January in Chatillon• 2nd meeting: “materials/manufacturing” February 2007 in Lausanne• 3rd meeting: “propulsion” May-June 2007 in Poland• 4th meeting: “aerodynamics” October/November 2007 in Romania• 5th meeting: “flight mechanics/systems and integration without ATM”

February 2008 in Italy• 6th meeting: “ATM” May/June 2008 in Baltic states• 7th meeting: “helicopter” September 2008 in UK



WP6: MUR / CIRA (ITALY) with support from EUROCONTROL will manage this work package


Organise three thematic fora

The aim is to bring together specialists from organisations participating in existing projects (EU or other) on the same theme with people from organisations and countries not involved in AirTN to foster dissemination throughout the EU member states.

• 1st forum on “Single European Sky” will be performed on 31st January 2007 at Eurocontrol Experimental Center in Paris

• 2nd forum on “Green Air Transport System”, in Germany at DLR (end of 2007).

• 3rd forum on “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and General Aviation in the Air Transport System” in Italy at CIRA (mid of 2008)



WP7: CDTI (SPAIN) will manage this WP


Disseminate and share existing basic documents (GARTEUR) between the partners and to improve upon it

The topics to be covered are:

• Joint activities

• Best Practices

To work out common guidelines on IPR rules and the future application w.r.t. transnational research activities



An objective of AirTN is furthermore:

To establish a pilot trans national project with an appropriate budget as a transnational research activity

• This pilot trial action will be based on a variable geometry scheme and the principle of “no cross border funding”.

• It will be a horizontal output of all work packages.



Mutual influences SESAR - AirTN

Benefits for SESAR arising from AirTN work-packages:

• WP 6 / Fora: The Forum on SES may lead to a better knowledge on SESAR and its importance in wider geographical areas(new member states) and in the European non-ATMsupplier industry (aeronautical or other).

• WP 4 / Study on Global Competitiveness: In time the acquired knowledge may allow the partners to learn from global ATM systems how to harmonize theEuropean ATM landscape and how to integrate its different technologies.



Mutual influences AirTN - SESAR

Benefits for AirTN arising from the SESAR definition phase:

• EUROCONTROL is a participant of AirTN as an associatedpartner;

EUROCONTROL experts contribute their expertise in the AirTN work-packages (e.g.: WP4/Study on global competitiveness, WP5/expert meetings and WP6/Fora)

• The SESAR definition phase may smooth the way for bi-/multilateral research cooperations between AirTN partnersin other European programmes or in cross-border managedactivities/projects.



Outlook and Support AirTN/SESAR:

AirTN is not comparable with SESAR in scope and budget(AirTN duration: 3 years/ budget 2,79M€) - not even withthe SESAR definition phase.

• It may result in valuable contributions regarding thecollection and analysis of ATM in Eastern Europe.

• It may result in delivering cognitions in existing ATM systems in Europe in comparison with those outsideEurope.

• It may provide more information/possibilities to identifyspecific research topics in ATM for possible pilot trialactions.
