Aircraft certification is a comprehensive process that covers the design, production & operational aspects to ensure that aircraft are safe, reliable & compliant with all relevant standards & regulations. Aircraft certification is a lengthy & detailed process designed to ensure that the highest standards of safety & reliability are met before an aircraft enters into service. In Europe, the EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency is the central authority for certification & set the regulatory framework within which the national aviation authorities operate. Clean Aviation, partnership between the European Commission & the aviation industry in which Commission invests EUR 1.7 billion, is developing disruptive new aircraft technologies to support the #EUGreenDeal & climate neutrality by 2050. These technologies will deliver net greenhouse gas reductions of no less than 30%, compared to 2020 state-of-the-art. The technological & industrial readiness will allow deployment of new aircraft with this performance no later than 2035, enabling 75% of the world’s civil aviation fleet to be replaced by 2050. Clean Aviation is focusing on disruptive innovation for hybrid electric regional aircraft, ultra-efficient short & short-medium range aircraft, & disruptive technologies to enable hydrogen-powered aircrafts. These new disruptive technologies will need to certified before the aircraft can enter into service. The Clean Aviation CONCERTO Project focuses on the certification needed to bring new disruptive aircraft technologies into the market, & at the same time, developing processes & methods that will enable a significant reduction of time to market & certifications costs. Last month, this 4-year project which was launched in 01/2023, delivered an important milestone with the publication of a brand new Certification Readiness Level (CRL) scale. This CRL scale includes 9 levels representing distinct stages in the certification process. It offers a crucial complement to the traditional Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs), & are designed to assess the future certifiability of aircrafts which embrace disruptive innovations in order to deliver on zero emission aviation. The CRL scale has been recently published & introduced by EASA within their innovation services & is raising significant attention across the aviation community. The certification framework will not only improve safety, but will also significantly reduce the development time & cost to introduce new products to the market. The project will develop a digital framework for certification & aims to reduce with 30% both the time to market as well as the costs of certification. It project plays in important role in supporting the competitiveness of the European aircraft industry. The results are expected to be transposable and scalable to different product lines and aircraft segments such as general aviation, rotorcraft, business jets and commercial medium-long range, affecting the complete fleet.

📢 Workshop on #H2 technologies organized by CONCERTO❗ We are excited to share the news about the workshop held at the Clean Aviation premises on July 2, with the participation of all Clean Aviation projects related to H2 technologies and the EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency, to explore synergies with respect to safety and regulation activities. Participating projects: #CAVENDISH | fLHYing tank Project | H2ELIOS | HyPoTraDe | PROJECT NEWBORN | #FASTER-H2 | #HEAVEN | #HYDEA | #TROPHY | #FAME The primary goal of the workshop was to establish synergies between the different projects' activities and identify unaddressed gaps to further investigate possible contributions among the different projects.   This meeting has been an excellent opportunity to discuss various technical proposals studied within Clean Aviation, share progress on the gap analysis related to different regulations (CS23, CS25, CSE, CS-36) and explore the learning needed to fill regulatory gaps.    Stay tuned; more to come in the upcoming months! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e-4ZcyzW Our #team: Dassault Aviation ArianeGroup Aviation Design UAV BNAE - Bureau de Normalisation de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace German Aerospace Center (DLR) EASN Technology Innovation Services IRT Saint Exupéry ISAE-SUPAERO NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab Pipistrel Aircraft Safran Thales Universitat de Girona University of Stuttgart – Institute of Aircraft Design (IFB) Airbus Airbus Defence and Space Airbus Helicopters Collins Aerospace Fraunhofer IKTS Leonardo Aircraft Dassault Systèmes TU Delft | Aerospace Engineering University of Patras INEGI driving science & innovation Rolls-Royce #CONCERTOProject #horizoneurope #cleanaviation #EUResearch #EUInnovation #SustainableEurope #sustainableaviation

The European Clean Aviation CONCERTO Project is aiming to develop a comprehensive set of regulations for aircraft, that will apply to the three main thrusts of clean aviation: hybrid-electric regional aircraft, ultra-efficient short and short-medium range aircraft disruptive technologies for enabling hydrogen-powered aircraft. Furthermore, it aims to assess the feasibility of a digital certification framework that will help collaboration and model-based certification.

✈ Introducing the Certification Readiness Level (#CRL) Scale! We are thrilled to announce the formal release of the novel Certification Readiness Level (#CRL) scale, a core milestone of CONCERTO -a Clean Aviation project- developed in partnership with EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency. 🔍 #What is the CRL Scale? The CRL scale consists of nine main steps designed to assess the future certificability of innovative concepts of operation, business models, and products/systems. It complements the traditional Technology Readiness Level (#TRL) scale by engaging progressively with aviation authorities to facilitate future shared oversight activities. The CRL scale will be further detailed as part of the future certification methods and means of compliance under development within CONCERTO Project. 💡 #Why is it important? The scale is crucial for applicants, technology developers, and system suppliers working with EASA Innovation Services, such as Innovation Partnership Contracts (IPCs) or Pre-Application Services Contracts (PACs). Understanding and utilizing the CRL scale helps measure the maturity level of their products or Concepts of Operations (CONOPS). #Read the official announcement: https://lnkd.in/dP-jXTuf #Learn More: https://lnkd.in/dUTr_W8P Stay tuned for more updates!
