AWATAR will develop key technologies for an advanced wing concept

The aeronautical industry is committed to a collective goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In addition to optimized flight operations and Sustainable Aviation Fuels deployment, two fundamental enablers to reach this target are the introduction of LH2 technologies and new solutions increasing aircraft and engine efficiency. In order to accelerate the Entry Into Service of ultra-efficient SMR aircraft, the three-year research project AWATAR (Advanced Wing MATuration And integRation), which will start on 1 January 2024, has the mission to develop key technology bricks and anticipate future certification processes.
