During the meeting, representatives of the Clean Sky 2 programme consulted Small Air Transport community, interested in participatng in the programme, about possible activities in the upcoming programme.

Clean Sky 2 is a EU aeronautical research and development programme, which aims at developing breakthrough technogies to improve environmental performance of transport aircraft and help overcome the "valley of death" between an invention and its implementation. The programme is a Public Private Partnership,  total investment is estimated to reach ca. €3.6 bn, its duration will be no less than the parallel programme Horizon 2020.

In Clean Sky 2, in addition to the previous Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITDs), a higher integration level platforms - Innovative Aircraft Demonstrator Platforma (IAPDs) will be developed.

The participants discussed the technologies needed for small air transport development, to be researched during ITDs projects. Airframe, engine and systems technologies were discussed in the context of  their potential and readiness level.
