NEEDED aims to deliver the next generation of reference European models and methods at TRL4 to estimate present and future aircraft emissions (pollutants and noise) and the number of people affected by them. It responds to the HORIZON-CL5_2022-D5-01-12 topic while pursuing EUROCONTROL’s commitment to the EU’s vision for a Single European Sky.
The NEEDED project aims to enable the entry into service of transformative aircraft technologies developed through the Horizon and Clean Aviation programmes, while minimizing the effects of air transport on pollution and noise. To achieve this, NEEDED has four objectives:
Average daily flights
Inter-Continental daily flights
Flights vs 2022
Operators in EU
*Data from EUROCONTROL Apr 2023
