Conclusions
The Hybrid Laminar Flow Technology and the Active Flow Control
Technology
are excellent examples for sustainable technology research and
development in
Europe over the last two decades.
The major enablers for this are:
The continuous and significant success achieved in former and
existing EU and
National research projects, such as EUROLIFT, AVERT, HIGHER-LE,
AFLoNext, etc..
A clear and joint research strategy of the EU and Industry
demonstrated through the
European Public-Private-Partnership as a foundation for CleanSky
2.
Well defined technology roadmaps by the Industry and utilization
scenarios.
A research community, developping these technologies,
demonstrating proven skills
and excellent networking.
