Introduction

Global air traffic is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of around 5% in the next 20 years. This high level of growth makes the need to address the environmental penalties of air traffic all the more urgent. To reduce CO2 and NOX emissions new engine core configurations with heat management, active systems and advanced component technology will be developed under the EU integrated programme for NEWAC.



NEWAC is an Integrated Project co-funded by the European Commission within the Sixth Framework Programm
