If air traffic more than doubles by 2050, as experts
predict, the sector will find itself struggling to cope with
increasingly crowded skies and airports, challenging safety
levels and requirements for lower emissions and noise.
Horizon 2020 is the first step to address the ambition detailed
in Flightpath 2050. More than 300 companies as well as
research centers, universities, air navigation providers and
other stakeholders helped develop the Strategic Research
and Innovation Agenda, ACARE’s innovation roadmap that
will create economic value for aviation in Europe.

About ACARE
ACARE, the Advisory Council for Aviation Research and
Innovation in Europe, is a forum for Aviation stakeholders,
which since 2001, has set the research agenda for
delivering significant improvements in sustainable,
reliable, affordable and passenger-friendly aviation.
Significant progress since 2000 means new aircraft are
quieter and burn less fuel per passenger kilometre thus
with lower emissions.
ACARE has demonstrated the strength of working closely
together across the whole aviation community including
air transport, the manufacturing industry, research
establishments, universities, regulatory authorities,
Member States and the European Commission.
ACARE stakeholders are committed to continue playing
a pivotal role in providing the means for collaboration
and cooperation at a European and global level.
