Technology transfer and innovation in smart multimaterials development and aviation

Sustainable aviation in Europe highlights new materials, technologies and digitalization as central steps as it states the Advisory Council for Aviation Research and Innovation in Europe (ACARE) in their report Fly The Green Deal looking for Climate neutrality for aviation by 2050:

- Disruptive Technologies: Emerging technologies and operations are challenging the established norms in aviation.
- Integrated Processes: Automated design, development, manufacturing, and maintenance using AI and robotics.
- Digital Twins: Key enablers for design, validation, certification, and maintenance.
- Virtual Techniques: Virtual certification improves safety and security by replacing physical tests.
- Digitalisation: Envisioned for all stages of the aviation value chain.
- Environmental Impact Modelling: Life cycle environmental impacts are quantified using integrated digital data flows.
- Regulatory Instruments: New frameworks and standards support advancements beyond R&D, including deployment and recycling.
