Air traffic is increasing every year: as a consequence, emissions of harmful substances and noise gets higher and higher. By 2050, air traffic intensity is estimated to triple, with a constantly growing impact on the environment.
Aviation is far from being the largest source of man-made CO2, but it is certainly the fastest growing. Hence the need for action enabled by innovation and new technology.

OBJECTIVES
Clean Sky 2 runs from 2014 to 2024. Specific objectives of the programme are:
increasing aicraft fuel efficiency reducing CO2 emissions by between 20 to 30%;
reducing aircraft NOx and noise emissions by between 20 to 30%.
Achieving these goals means getting closer to those indicated in the Flightpath 2050.
