Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The Air Cargo technology Roadmap proposal focuses on the future role of air freight and the definition of a technology roadmap for future cargo aircraft responding to end user requirements and environmental needs. In order to improve seamless flow of goods, Inter-and Co-modality approaches will be considered within the SESAR operational concept. Main issues of the CARGO Map (CSA-SA) proposal are: • Analysis of current situation versus the demand with the involvement of the stakeholders in Europe among all actors (manufacturers, research establishment, regulators, airspace users, infrastructure providers, airport managers) • Expected future bottlenecks/challenges in air freight transport and the identification of the corresponding requirements. The requirements will identify the technology needs and regulatory issues to be addressed • Synopsis and evaluation of possible improvements related to future business models • Definition of a technology roadmap to fill the technology/regulatory/operative gaps in order to fulfil the requirements considering the current capabilities • Besides the core activities an effort will be dedicated to disseminate the results The project will investigate what new challenges and opportunities exist for new air cargo operations in the future, responding to societal challenges and the concept of seamless multi modal transport chains. Based on business models for such new types of air cargo operations, the need for novel dedicated air cargo planes will be derived and the technologies that will be needed to create these novel airplanes will be identified in a roadmap. This is a totally new approach within the Frame work program. Whilst identifying novel technologies, only those specific to air cargo operations will be shown in the roadmap, assuming that generic technologies in aviation will take place. The roadmap will identify current and planned research and missing elements to enable a new generation of air cargo aircraft to be realised.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Tomorrow's freight planes will have to better meet end-user requirements and environmental needs. EU researchers drew up a technology roadmap to enable a new generation of air cargo planes to be realised.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The EU-funded 'Air cargo technology road map' (CARGOMAP) project focused on the future role of air freight. It defined a plan to fill related technology, regulatory and operational gaps in order to fulfil future requirements considering current capabilities.
It began by analysing the present situation, and identified the bottlenecks and challenges in air freight transport that are expected to arise in the future.
CARGOMAP investigated air cargo operations of the future and the new generation of cargo aircraft that Europe will need to remain competitive as a global air freight operator. By 2020, no major changes in the air cargo industry business models, operations and aircraft are foreseen.
Researchers identified several challenges that lie ahead for air freight. These include overburdened airports in terms of capacity, new environmental regulations and restrictions, air traffic management and rising oil prices. In addition, they established that current political and policy issues, such as climate change and the threat of international terrorism, can also have an impact on air freight transport.
Based on business models, the project also identified the technologies that will be needed to create a new generation of novel aeroplanes between 2030 and 2050. Researchers concentrated on enabling technologies and specifically targeted air cargo operations and aircraft. They presented 18 distinct kinds of aircraft combinations that could supply the market. These solutions were contrasted based on speed, cost and frequency.
Outcomes formed the basis of a report that provides an overview of all the completed tasks and the technology roadmap developed during the project lifetime.
CARGOMAP laid out the challenges, opportunities and future role of air freight. By proposing innovative aircraft technologies that are tailored to cargo needs, the project hopes to establish Europe as a leader in the future air freight market.
