On February 6th and 7th, the HOPE Horizon Europe project consortium was hosted by Ergon Research in Florence city center. The M24 GA meeting was participated by Delft University of Technology, Chalmers University of Technology, Bauhaus Luftfahrt, Ergon Research, Hit09 Srl and The Manchester Metropolitan University. The work has also benefited from the valuable contributions of @Abhishek Sahai (@National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM)), @Marco Groot (@KLM), Askin T. Isikveren (Safran), and Laurent TABERNIER (EUROCONTROL).
Halfway through the project, we had the possibility to show and discuss new progresses of the tasks carried out in WP1 (Integrated propulsion system study), WP2 (Combustion experiments and emission analysis) and WP3 (Aeroacoustics experiments and prediction), as well as the first results of the activities of WP4 (Air quality, noise and societal impact assessment).
HOPE is co-funded under the Horizon Europe topic HORIZON-CL5-2022-D5-01-12 (Towards a silent and ultra-low local air pollution aircraft) under GA n° 101096275. The support of the CINEA – European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency is gratefully acknowledged. The work is also co-funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the UK government’s Horizon Europe funding guarantee n° 10068673.
