The main framework 7 topic addressed by the proposed ACFA 2020 project is the Area 7.1.1.1 Green Aircraft - AAT.2007.1.1.1 Flight Physics. Europe must respond to the challenge of designing a green aircraft, both to cope with the growing world responsibility in regards to environmental protection and to become the uncontested world leader in the field of aeronautics by 2020. The Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE)whose goal is to develop and implement a strategic approach to European aeronautics research delivered a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) in November 2002 and an updated version in March 2005. The SRA is the plan for realising the “ACARE vision 2020”, which aims for 50% reduced fuel consumption and related CO2 emissions per passenger-kilometre, reduction of external noise by 4-5 dB and by 10 dB per operation in the short and long terms, respectively.
