FP7 - Clean Sky | air transport - call 3

Clean Sky JTI (Joint Technology Initiative) is one of the largest European research projects shared between the EC & the industry.  Its main objective is technological breakthrough developments in the field of air transport.This JTI projects are objective-driven research projects, aiming to develop new knowledge, new technology and solutions. In many instances, the projects will contribute to one of the demonstrators developed in one of the six major technology areas, so-called Integrated Technology Demonstrators.
