INTRODUCTION The Council Regulation setting up the Joint Undertaking was adopted by the Council of the European Union on 20 December 2007 and published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 4 February 2008. The Annual Implementation Plan specifies the plan for execution of all activities of the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking (CS JU) for a particular year, including activities carried out by the R&D performers, members of the CSJU, planned calls for proposals and actions to be implemented through calls for tenders. The Annual Implementation Plan together with the Annual Budget Plan shall be presented by the Executive Director to the Governing Board of the CS JU for comments and adoption, as foreseen by art. 184 of the Clean Sky Statutes This 2010 Annual Implementation Plan covers the

establishment of the 3rd operating year of the CS JU, which is also the first one autonomously managed by the Joint Undertaking, this autonomy having been granted on November 17th, 2009. Once adopted by the Governing Board a publishable version of the Annual Implementation Plan shall be made public on the Clean Sky web site. 2. BACKGROUND AND MISSION Clean Sky is a pioneering public private partnership aiming at boosting the R&D in low environmental impact technologies for the Air Transport System and establishing a cooperation among all stakeholders within Europe in Member States and countries associated with the 7th Framework Programme (FP7). The CS JU has been set up in response to citizens’ needs for a reduction of the impact of the Air Transport System on the environment in combination with sustained economic growth. It is a large, additional technology research programme enabling step changes in the reduction of fuel consumption, emissions and noise of future aircraft.

Clean Sky will bring public support together with industry funds in a risk sharing structure that will accelerate the development and introduction of environmentally focussed technologies in next generation air vehicles. Up to €600m of Community funding will be matched by Named Beneficiaries, whereas at least €200m will be allocated to Calls for Proposals with a funding rate between 50 and 75%, depending on the type of entity. The total value of Clean Sky will therefore be between €1.466Bn and €16Bn Clean Sky is expected to lead to the earlier introduction of new, greener products that will: · Increase the competitiveness of the European industry · Accelerate the reduction in global emissions -3- · Encourage the rest of the world to make greener products Clean Sky will provide opportunities for the aeronautics industry (including SMEs), research centres and universities across Europe. Such a large, flexible and complex research programme could not be conducted using

existing Community or national instruments. Clean Sky will ensure integrated activities over 7 years to validate step changes in component, system and vehicle technologies. In combination with the results of private and national research programmes, this will provide a basis on which innovative greener products can be launched at acceptable risk to all participants to the Joint Undertaking. 3. CLEAN SKY GOVERNANCE The CS JU is composed of three bodies: (1) the Governing Board, (2) the Executive Director and (3) the ITD Steering Committees. It shall be supported by an internal consultative group, the General Forum and an external one, the National States Representative Group. 3.1 Governing Board The Governing Board is the main decision making body of the CSJU and has been established in Q2 2008. According to article 6 of the Statutes of the CS JU the Governing Board has the overall responsibility for the operations of the CS JU and shall oversee the implementation of its activities. It

is composed by the European Commission, the 12 ITD leaders of the 6 ITDs, the technological areas Clean Sky is composed of and one Associate member from each ITD representing itself and the other Associates from the same ITD, for a total of 19 effective members of the Board. The Board has adopted its own rules of procedures and elected a Chair and a Vice-chair from among its members. Chair and Vice-chair shall serve on an annual rotating basis In order to have this rotating basis aligned with calendar years, the mandates of the Chair and Vice-Chair which should have come to renewal at mid-2009 was extended until the end of the year. The Board shall have on average at least two board meetings a year. The frequency of meeting is higher at the start of Clean Sky. The Governing Board shall ensure that all necessary actions are taken for the unfolding of technical activities in the different ITDs and for their supervision and coordination by the Executive Director and his team. It is

planned that the Governing Board adopts the draft 2009 Annual Implementation Plan at its meeting planned for December 4th, 2009. 3.2 Executive Director -4- The Executive Director is the legal representative of the CS JU and shall be the chief executive for the day-to-day management in accordance with the decisions of the Governing Board. The Executive Director will be supported by the staff of the Clean Sky JU and will report to the Governing Board. The ED will perform his duties with a staff which is rising up to 18 members (17 temporary agents and 1 contractual agent) in its shape accepted by the Governing Board in July 2009. This level of 18 should be reached by April 2010. 3.3 ITD Steering Committee The ITD Steering Committees are the main management bodies of the technical activities of Clean Sky, the Integrated Technology Demonstrators. They shall carry their activities forward in close co-ordination with, and support of, the Executive Director and his staff. According to

article 8 of the Statutes of the CS JU the role of the ITD Steering Committees is guiding and monitoring the technical functions of their respective ITDs and taking decisions on behalf of the CS JU on all technical matters specific to the relevant ITD including budgets, define the specification of Calls for Proposals, the ITD annual programmes of work. The following ITDs have been established: a) Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft (SFWA) b) Green Regional Aircraft (GRA) c) Green Rotorcraft (GRC) d) Sustainable and Green Engine (SAGE) e) Systems for Green Operations (SGO) f) Eco-Design (ED) On top of these ITDs an independent Technology Evaluator has been set for the whole duration of Clean Sky. Its Steering Committee is chaired by the Executive Director 3.4 General Forum The General Forum comprises all participants to activities of the CS JU at any given time and shall be informed on the activities of the CS JU. It shall be invited to provide comments according to article 9 of the Statutes of

the CS JU to the CS JU governance via a communication channel established with the Executive Director. The General Forum is an important communication channel to ensure transparency and openness of the activities of the CS JU toward all its stakeholders. Its role is to ensure that the activities of the CS JU are communicated across the whole spectrum of participants and to provide in return independent comments and suggestions on the progress and strategy of the CS JU to the Governing Board, the Executive Director and the ITD Steering Committees. In order to streamline communication and to avoid confusion, the General Forum shall provide its input to the Clean Sky governance structure via the Executive Director. The first General Forum will be convened by the Executive Director at the beginning of 2010. 3.5 National States Representative Group -5- The National States Representative Group (NSRG) shall consist of a representative from each Member States and Associated States to the

Framework Programme. The NSRG has been established in Q2 2008 and is following closely the activities and setting up of the CS JU. The NSRG has adopted its own rules of procedures and elected its own Chair and Vice-chair. The Chair of the NSRG is invited to attend meetings of the CS JU Governing Board as an observer. According to article 10 of the Statutes of the CS JU the NSRG has an advisory role to the CS JU and acts as an interface between the CS JU and the relevant stakeholders within the respective States. It receives information on the state of progress within the CS JU, on the planning, content and outcome of Calls for Proposals and Calls for Tender and shall cooperate with the JU in ensuring the widest dissemination of information related to calls to external organisation to the CS JU. The NSRG shall provide information to the CS JU on relevant activities ongoing at national levels and is requested to play an important role in the leverage effect of the CS JU on the national

activities. 4. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES The CS JU shall support research activities carried out by the non-EC members of Clean Sky and by partners selected following open and competitive Calls for Proposals, independent evaluations and negotiations leading to the conclusion of partners Grant Agreements. The CS JU shall adopt the overall objectives of the Clean Sky programme outlining the research activities to be supported by the CS JU and finalised to the testing of the final demonstrators. Clean Sky aims to create a radically innovative Air Transport System based on the integration of advanced technologies and full scale demonstrators, with the target of reducing the environmental impact of air transport through reduction of noise and gaseous emissions, and improvement of the fuel economy of aircraft. The activity will cover all main flying segments of the Air Transport System and the associated underlying technologies identified in the Strategic Research Agenda for Aeronautics developed

by the Aeronautics Technology Platform ACARE. Clean Sky is built upon 6 different technical areas called Integrated Technology Demonstrators (ITDs), where preliminary studies and down-selection of work will be performed, followed by large-scale demonstrations on ground or in-flight, in order to bring innovative technologies to a maturity level where they can be applicable to new generation “green aircraft”. Multiple links for coherence and data exchange will be ensured between the various ITDs. The ITDs are: 1. The SMART fixed wing aircraft ITD, focused on active wing technologies that sense the airflow and adapt their shape as required, as well as on new aircraft configurations to optimally incorporate these novel wing concepts. -6- 2. The Green Regional Aircraft ITD, focused on low-weight configurations and technologies using smart structures, low-noise configurations and the integration of technology developed in other ITDs, such as engines, energy management and mission and

trajectory management. 3. The Green Rotorcraft ITD, focused on innovative rotor blades and engine installation for noise reduction, lower airframe drag, diesel engine and electrical systems for fuel consumption reduction and environmentally friendly flight paths. 4. The Sustainable and Green Engine ITD will integrate technologies for low noise and lightweight low pressure systems, high efficiency, low NOx and low weight core, novel configurations such as open rotors or intercoolers. 5. The Systems for Green Operations ITD will focus on all-electric aircraft equipment and systems architectures, thermal management, capabilities for “green” trajectories and mission and improved ground operations. 6. The Eco-Design ITD will address the full life cycle of materials and components, focusing on issues such as optimal use of raw materials, decreasing the use of nonrenewable materials, natural resources, energy, the emission of noxious effluents and recycling. The Technology Evaluator will

be the first available European complete integrated tool delivering direct relationship between advanced technologies, still under development, and high-level local or global environment impact. It will consider inputs from both inside and outside the “Clean Sky” perimeter to deliver environmental metrics and the levels of aircraft, airport and aircraft fleet level. As aircraft fuel economy is also influenced by flight trajectory management strategy, Clean Sky will establish close links with the SESAR Joint Undertaking which investigates Air Traffic Management (ATM) technologies in line with the "Single Sky" initiative of the Commission. These links will be established via the Technology Evaluator, as well as via the Systems ITD that develops the avionics equipment interfacing with ATM. A summary of the technological targets to be achieved by Clean Sky are provided: 5. ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT BY NAMED BENEFICIAIRES The members of the CS JU other than the European

Commission will have the responsibility to carry out the main technical activities required to reach the final Clean Sky objectives as laid out in the annexes of this Annual Implementation Plan (1a to 1g). The members of the CS -7- JU are committed to participate to the full duration of the Clean Sky activities, to share the strategic decisions to be taken in order to reach the final objectives, are funded at 50% from the Commission and will contribute 50 % of the research costs in kind, according to the budget share shown in annexes 2a to 2g. The total budget envelope of their activities is up to 75 % of the Commission contribution, with 50 % being allocated to activities carried out by the ITD leaders and 25 % to Associates. Two ITD leaders co-lead each ITD One of the objectives of the 2010 Annual Implementation Plan is to reach the 2010-2012 peaks of operations for most of the projects, in line with the overall Clean Sky programme. The programme of work for 2010 contains the

same main headings already reported for 2009. Activities carried out by Clean Sky members are complemented by activities to be developed by partners selected through Calls for Proposals (CfP). The CfP topics to be launched in 2010 are reported in annex 2h. -8- 5.1 SFWA – SMART Fixed Wing Aircraft SFWA will be focussed on achieving progress of work along priority key SFWA target technologies towards a maturing them up. A scheme of eight principles “SFWA Aircraft Concepts” have been settled and established during the year 2009: 1. High Speed Demonstrator Passive (HSDP) 2. Low Speed Demonstrator (LSD) 3. Short Range Aircraft Concept (SRA) 4. Low Sweep Bizjet Concept (LSBJ) 5. High Speed Demonstrator Active (HSDA) 6. Long Range Aircraft Concept (LRA) 7. High Sweep Bizjet Concept (HSBJ) 8. CROR Engine Demo FTB The year 2010 work program is dominated by the preparation of different elements for ground and flight test demonstration for the HSDP, the continuation of the feasibility

study for the CROR demo-FTB and a number of configuration studies related to the integration of innovative engine concepts for large transport aircraft and for Bizjets. A further down selection of concepts for high performance high-lift concepts that can be integrated into a laminar wing design will take place in the first half of 2010. An increase of active loads control activities to support the concept of a smart laminar wing is considered. Within 2010, a number of CFP 45 topics are scheduled to be published and finally taken by new partners to the SFWA-ITD. A wide range of subjects is related to the manufacturing, treatment, and repair and testing of surfaces for laminar wing panels, the design and development of innovative sensors and actuators for control surfaces in laminar wings. Year 2010 calls will also include major work packages to attribute to the design and build parts of the laminar wing flight test articles. Cross cutting coordination in particular with the SAGE –ITD

and to some extend with the SGO-ITD and the EcoDesign-ITD will be established in 2010. The envisioned major achievements / milestones for 2010 are:  Complete the work for a laminar wing design definition, complete the work to propose and approve structural laminar wing concepts  Continue the feasibility phase for the CROR-engine integration and CROR demo-FTB including numerical simulation, and subscale ground and wind tunnel testing.  Pass the gate decision to launch the design and manufacturing of the High Speed Demonstrator Passive flight test articles.  Conduct of a large scale wind tunnel test to prepare the laminar wing flight tests onboard the modified Airbus A340-300 flight test vehicle.  Complete the first laminar wing “feature” ground demonstrator, launch activities for further feature demonstrators  Conduct of a major SFWA-ITD Annual Progress Review  Prepare a detailed follow-on year 2011 work and budget plan to be issued s a Consortium Plan 2011 at

the end of this year In the SFWA WP1 Smart Wing Technology Development, similar objectives about NLF wing will be defined, issuing both numerical and experimental methodologies. -9- The objective of SFWA WP2: –New Configuration, is to design “smart” wing concepts, innovative powerplant concepts (especially focussed on CROR (Counter-Rotating Open Rotor)) and innovative after bodies, up to Technology Readiness Level of 6. The related assessment will be passed to the Technology Evaluator. The CROR is the main aim of SFWA WP3: Flight Test Demonstration, in terms of criteria for industrial implementation. The related engine test bed is scheduled to fly in 2014 Delivery of the engine is foreseen for 2013. The engine supplier is still to be selected The major objectives of the year 2010 are related to the definition of requirements and detailed design work for the HSDP laminar wing flight test onboard the Airbus A340-300 test aircraft, and detailed studies to integrate the CROR

demo engine in the rear fuselage of the Airbus A340-600 test aircraft. 5.1 GRA – Green Regional Aircraft GRA will continue the work packages defined in the baseline program, with internal review of the technologies to be further enhanced. GRA will also integrate in the plans of each WP the activities conducted by the partners seemed via the CFP (it is worth recalling that GRA had the greatest number of topics issue in 2009 for CFPs). The areas of interest are the following: • GRA1 – Low Weight Configuration (LWC) domain • GRA2 – Low Noise Configuration (LNC) domain • GRA3 – All Electrical Aircraft (AEA) domain • GRA4 - Mission and Trajectory Management (MTM) domain • GRA5 – New Configuration (NC) domain Three domains activities, LWC, LNC and AEA reached significant milestones in 2009 and new one are expected in 2010. These domains are the contributors to Flight Test that is currently planned using an ATR aircraft. LWC and LN are also contributors to Large Scale

Ground Test, since some selected structural technologies will be tested only on Ground. Similarly Landing Gear for Low Noise will be tested in wind tunnel full scale. AEA domain will be a major contributor to Flight test with some advanced systems (WIPS, ECS, EMA etc) equipments and Energy Management Systems. This is the confirmation of integration across the ITDs (SGO and EcoDesign) for the topics of GRA 3, and again with SGO the GRA 4. A GRA Internal Technical Review is planned first half of 2010. Other critical events have been planned, including Down Selection of technologies and specific Design reviews. - 10 - GRA is also working closely with TE for the definition of the black box models to be used for assessment of performance and benefits resulting from the introduction of technologies in the future aircraft. 5.2 GRC – Green Rotorcraft The activities in 2010 will continue in the five areas defined by the ITD members: GRC1 – Innovative rotor blades Further assessment of

the potential for active and passive rotor technologies will be conducted, in order to achieve a commercially viable solution that enables reduced rotor power consumption and reduced rotor acoustic signature. The active twist concept from Friendcopter will be further explored. Parametric study of active and passive blade lay-out for global rotor benefits will be initiated. Development of methods necessary for the optimisation of blade design, actuation system integration, sensory data transmission, and power transfer and control algorithms will be continued. Initiate development of open loop control algorithms to manage the active control system behaviour. This work package purses the following final results within 2010: • Passive Model Rotor Test (new passive concept); • Active Model Rotor Test (new active concept); • Assessment of benefits provided by innovative rotor blades. GRC2 – Drag reduction of airframe and non lifting rotating systems With the aim to increase airframe

and non lifting rotating systems efficiency, activities will continue for the reduction of various rotorcraft (Helicopter and Tilt Rotor A/C) components drag. Innovative techniques, both passive and active are being developed for drag abatement of helicopter rotor hub, helicopter and tilt rotor fuselage and empennage, tilt rotor wings, and engine installation architectures. Both modelling and wind tunnel testing tasks will be defined, with technology reviews to be completed during 2010, and planning and specification of new activities to be conducted in following phases. GRC3 – Integration of Innovative Electrical Systems The programme has two major technical objectives, in line with Eco-design and SGO objectives: to replace the use of “non-green” hydraulic systems on rotorcraft by electricallypowered systems; and to improve the overall rotorcraft efficiency, with consequent reduction of carbon (and other undesirable) emissions through new electrical system technologies. Among

the major milestone is the launch of the partner activity on the electrical tail rotor, topic of the second call of 2009. GRC4 – Integration of a Diesel engine on a light helicopter The aim of this work package is to integrate the turbocharged Diesel engine technology on helicopters and drastically reduce their gas emission level, taking advantage of the extremely low specific fuel consumption. A two stream approach is implemented : firstly, the study of the ideal Diesel engine and optimisation of the helicopter to be powered; secondly, the integration of flying helicopter - 11 - demonstrator based the adaptation to helicopter specifications of an aeronautical Diesel engine and transformation of a turbine powered light helicopter. The synthesis of both parallel streams will allow defining the way forward for future helicopter products. Major milestone in 2010 is the actual selection of a suitable partner for the engine development, based on a revised topic for CFP, to be

launched mid year. GRC5 – Environment-friendly flight paths The active tasks are GRC5.1 - Requirement Analysis & Specifications Definition, whose main target in 2010 is the specification for Environment-Friendly Flight Paths and Low Noise Procedures, following a review of the existing requirements applicable to the H/C flight. The following tasks will be completed in 2010, with deliverables and associated milestones: GRC5.13- Air Navigation Requirements (PANS-OPS) for IFR, and GRC514- Piloting and Guidance Systems (FMS, Navigation Means). The following tasks will be started in 2010: GRC5.15- Airport/Heliport Constraints, and GRC5.16- Specific Tilt Rotor Aspects Activity will start on WP5.2 - Analysis and development of specific methodologies to evaluate the engine emissions, based on the selected partner from the first CFP. 5.3 SAGE – Sustainable and Green Engines The activities for the 5 demonstrators of SAGE will be further developed. Among the significant milestones and

deliverables of 2010 in each of the major work packages there are: In SAGE1.1 Open Rotor Assembly, Rolls-Royce will conduct the Preliminary Design Review in Oct. 2010 At the same date is also planned the Preliminary Design Review for SAGE12 Core Engine. Again in Oct. 2010 there is the Preliminary Design Review for the SAGE13 Integration and Test. Snecma will perform the SAGE2 Concept Reviews in Sep. 2010, with Concept Reviews for the SAGE2.1 Demonstrator Integration & Systems Development and SAGE22 Engine Modules & Nacelle Development, involving all the partners like Aircelle, Avio, Volvo Aero, Alenia Aermacchi, Partners. In SAGE23 Ground Tests, there will be a GTB Concept Review at Snecma in Nov. 2010 For SAGE 3, Roll-Royce will hold a Concept Design Review in Nov. 2010, also affecting the SAGE3.2 Structures and Systems and the SAGE33 Integration and Test In SAGE4.1 Engine Modules and SAGE 42 Structures & Systems, MTU will deliver by Nov 201 a Module and Engine

Modifications Concept Definition and Study Review and a Mid Turbine Frame Concept Definition, Study and Documentation. The Geared Fan Demonstrator Concept Selection Assessment, as part of SAGE 4.3 Integration & Test, will be available in Nov. 2010 - 12 - In SAGE 5, Turbomeca will conduct in June 2010the Design Reviews for the SAGE 5.1 Core Study, as well as for the SAGE 5.2 Whole engine study All Design Reviews imply the involvement not only of the actual members of the ITD WPs, but also of Members internal organization with Engineering Auditors, to verify the status of definition of the different items being studied within SAGE. The reviews range from engine, propellers, turbine & shafts, to Demonstration, new components like Pitch Actuation system and power gearbox for the Gear engine configurations. All involved partners, as well as associates are invited to Design Reviews. 5.4 SGO – Systems for Green Operations The major areas of this ITD are WP2 Management of

Aircraft Energy and WP3 Management of Trajectory and Mission. WP1 (Definition of Aircraft Solutions and exploitation strategies) is defining the framework for the specific activities; in WP1.1 - Aircraft Level Targets and Requirement, both Large aircraft and Regional aircraft types will be analysed. The framework will be defined on the working assumptions for the comparison of aircraft data (type, size, configuration, propulsion) and operational scenarios (operational context in which the aircraft will operate). Based on reference and working architectures previously defined, the main results in 2010 will be the down select of a set of technical priorities for MAE and of promising functions for MTM to be further investigated. These priority items will be allocated with environmental targets as design objectives. The technological developments in WP2 and WP3 will be assessed at aircraft level in order to evaluate the environmental benefits of the developed solutions. Also a review of

the current regulations will be performed in order to identify any hard point or showstopper from a certification standpoint. The likely evolution of these regulations will be surveyed to extrapolate the impact on the design of the solutions. The overall Verification and Validation strategy for the technologies to be developed in this project will be established, with the methodology and process for the management of the Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs). This task will involve other ITD members like Alenia. A very important task in SGO concerns the link between Clean Sky and SESAR. SESAR and Clean Sky projects have as common objective to develop solutions to reduce the impact of the air traffic on environment. In 2010, this work package will set-up synchronisation meetings with the relevant SESAR interface and the Clean Sky Technology Evaluator. The objective of these meetings will be the validation of the assumptions taken on the Air Traffic Management constraints in a SESAR concept

of operations for all flight phases AND to presents first results coming out SGO works to SESAR JU. In WP 4: Large scale demonstration for large aircraft application, the plans will be defined for all the large-scale ground and flight demonstration activities to be performed, as part of the V&V strategy. - 13 - WP5 Aircraft level assessment and exploitation: the task will be kicked of at the end of 2010 in order to start working efficiently on the assessment early 2011, once having the 1st concrete outcomes from WP2 and WP3. 5.5 ECO – Eco-Design Eco-Design ITD is organized in the two major areas of EDA (Eco-Design for Airframe) and EDS [Eco-Design for Systems (small aircraft)]. The Airframe Application of the Eco-Design ITD is meant to tackle the environmental issues by focusing on the following challenges: • To identify and maturate environmentally sound (“green”) materials and processes for a/c production. • To identify and maturate environmentally sound

(“green”) materials and processes for a/c maintenance and use processes. • To improve the field of end-of-life a/c operations after several decades of operation, including reuse, recyclability and disposal (“elimination”) issues. • To provide means for an ecolonomic design process on order to minimize the overall environmental impact of a/c production, use/maintenance, and disposal. These areas will be considered for significant parts of the aircraft: Structure, cabin covering and furniture, vehicle systems components / equipments, engine components, electronics. In 2010 work in the frame of the Eco-Design ITD – Airframe Application will continue on the following Work Packages: • WP A.1 Alternative Solutions Requirements, • WP A.2 Technology Development, • WP A.3 Application Studies Among the most significant objectives of 2010, there is the analysis of existing LCA tools and associated databases, in terms of quantification of results, interfaces, databases and

related content. Furthermore, standardisation efforts on the European level such as the European Platform on Life Cycle Assessment (EPLCD) and the European Reference Life Cycle Data System (ELCD) will be taken into account. The milestone to be reached at T + 24 is a Report on usability of LCA tools in consideration of special requirements in aircraft industry. In 2010 work in the frame of the Eco-Design ITD – Systems, work will continue on the feasibility of an all-electrical aircraft, through the study of innovative energy management architectures, requiring joining forces to provide appropriate requirements to Systems ITD. The general objective of this part of the Eco-Design ITD is to make a significant step towards the concept of the all-electric vehicle systems aircraft, by removing of hydraulic fluid (with significant benefits in terms of aircraft maintenance and disposal environmental impact); by on-board power by wire. The use of electricity as only media offers a lot of

possibility in terms of energy management (e.g: Intelligent load shedding, power regeneration on actuators, sharing of Electrical Control Unit over actuators). - 14 - For the purpose of the all electric small a/c objective, the existing work packages are completed with activities hosted by the GRA, GRC and SGO ITDs. Among the significant milestone of 2010 there are: • • • • • • • • • Choice of simulation tool for Electrical Network Analysis Model (ENAM), by defining specification/documentation documents. Equipment Supplier Interface Control Document, by January 2010. Electrical Network Analysis Model Presentation, by August 2010. Ecolonomic Model Computer Implementation Validation File, in March 2010 Generic Architecture Synthesis, by May 2010 Electrical Model of GA Primary Electrical Power Distribution and Electrical Model of GA Secondary Electrical Power Distribution, by end of the year. Electrical Bench Requirements, in April 2010, followed by Electrical

Tests Requirements in December 2010 System Design for each architecture, June 2010 Electrical Iron Bird Preliminary Design Review (PDR), in July 2010. 5.6 TE – Technology Evaluator All TE Work packages shall be active in 2010: • WP0: TE Management and Coordination • WP1: TE Requirements and Architecture • WP2: Models Development and Validation • WP3: Simulation Framework Development + IVV • WP4: Assessment of impacts and Trade-off studies The general objective of WP1 is the definition of Requirements and Architecture of the Clean Sky Technology Evaluator. In 2009, the basic TE requirements have been issued The 2010 main task will be to complete and to detail these requirements, in particular with respect to the first assessment cycle and to the trade-off studies needs. Among the significant milestone of 2010 there are: • The analysis of results of External related projects (like Sourdine II, OPTIMAL, and ERAT), and several Networks of Excellence, to investigate the

experiences with the used models, data, and assessment procedures. • Exchanges with SESAR shall also be initiated. In WP3.3, the models will be integrated into the Simulation Framework for combining the three assessment levels: Mission, Operation, and ATS. Model development is broken down in line with the three assessment levels: 1. The Mission level, concerning single aircraft operations A comprehensive set of models is required to be able to assess the technologies at mission level: mission models, air vehicle black box models, flight path models, platforms or components noise models (if needed for trade-off studies), atmospheric model, airport area models (3D geometry), noise propagation or carpet noise models for a single flight, mission fuel burn models, mission energy management models, mission emissions models, and - 15 - finally simplified life cycle models. Conceptual and reference aircraft and rotorcraft models will be delivered by SFWA, GRA, and GRC ITDs, as black

boxes. Additional models will be developed in the TE, where necessary. 2. The Operational level concerns the air traffic movements at and around airports, including local surrounding airspace like Control Zones, Terminal Manoeuvring Areas, and Control Areas. Simulation models include airport models (generic and specific), including aircraft models and scenarios with traffic and procedures, and databases of the surrounding population. Performance models include ATM impact (capacity) models, a local noise model, a mission fuel burn model, and a local emissions & air quality model. 3. The ATS level concerns air traffic operations at Regional/Global level Required models include a Y2000 Flights/movements and Fleet reference build-up, a Y2020+ Traffic demand, Fleet, Routing, and Missions forecast model, a Y2020+ simplified life cycle model, and a Y2020+ Emissions Inventory model. Since two assessment complete cycles are proposed, model development will be broken down into two phases, so

that for the first cycle an initial set of models will be available, and the final models will be available, for the second cycle. Among the significant milestone of 2010 there are: • Development of models at mission level necessary for the GRC case study; • Initiation of development of models at mission level necessary for the first assessment. • Specification consolidation of the three simulation infrastructures relative to the three levels of evaluation • Development of the TE Simulation Framework prototype (including the TE Information System) used for the TE internal 2010 demonstration, in preparation for the mid-term 2011 demonstration • Development of the prototype of the three platforms (infrastructures and models integrated) • Verification and Validation for the three platforms • TE Computer System (Overall Integrated TE System) first version dedicated to the TE internal 2010 demonstration, in preparation of the version for the mid-term 2011 demonstration - 16 -

6. CALLS FOR PROPOSALS 6.1 Scope and timing Via the Calls for Proposal, Clean Sky aims to incorporate Partners to address very specific tasks which fit into the overall technical Work Programme and time schedule. Due to the nature of these tasks, the Call is not set up using a set of themes, but it is conceived as a collection of very detailed Topics. The Call text therefore consists of a set of topic fiches Each launch is followed by a general Info Day and, starting with end 2009, by local presentations in suitable events, when requested by National point of contacts. Another initiative to be started after evaluation of the second call winners will be an Info Day for the preparation to the Negotiation and contract phases. In 2010 the reference planning for the Calls for Proposals is the following: 1. January 2010 2. April 2010 3. June or July 2010 4. September 2010 However, as this is just a reference calendar, the JU is prepared to issue call for significant topics at any time,

with proper advance notice, as this is more consistent with the scope of the CFP in Clean Sky, compared with the usual Call for Proposals in collaborative projects. 6.2 Proposal evaluation Each proposal is subject to an evaluation by four experts (two indicated by the ITD, two selected as independent expert in EU database). The evaluation applies scoring out of 6 criteria, with predefined Thresholds. - C1: Technical excellence, - C2: Innovative character, - C3: Compliance with the Call for Proposals specification and timetable (relevance), - C4: Adequacy and quality of respondents resources, management and implementation capabilities and track record, - C5: Appropriateness and efficient allocation of the resources to be committed (budget, staff, equipment), - C6: Contribution to European competitiveness. For a Proposal to be considered for funding, it needs to pass the following thresholds: Minimum 3/5 score for each of the 6 criteria AND Minimum 20/30 total score. Only one Grant

Agreement (GA) shall be awarded per Topic. - 17 - For the second call in 2009, the same basic process is confirmed, with the only introduction in the Call Text of improvements for the criteria of proposal preparation, value definition and rules for eligibility. Starting with the first Call in 2010, further improvement will be considered in terms of feasibility and potential introduction in further calls. - 18 - 7. RUNNING COSTS This chapter provides with a summary of the main activities and the main assumptions concerning "running costs", according to the Annual Budget Plan structure (titles 1 and 2). Running or administrative costs will be invoiced to JU members with a 50/50 split between Commission and private members, according to the "Funding Agreement between the Clean Sky Joint Undertaking and its Members other than the European Community" and the "General Funding Agreement between the European Commission and the Clean Sky Joint

Undertaking". Staff 7.1 Organisation The Staff Policy Plan for 2010-2012 forecasts a ceiling of 17 TA and 7 CA posts for Clean Sky. The number of staff accepted by the Governing Board for recruitment is 17 Temporary Agents (TA) and 2 Contract Agents(CA). Beyond this, the possibility to recruit a third Contract Agent as a second secretary will be presented to the Governing Board in June 2010 The updated organisations chart is as follows: Executive Director Head of Administration and Finance Secretary Budget officer Project controller Assistant, HR Coordinating Project Officer Accounting officer Audit and Quality Officer PO SFWA PO GRA Communication & SMEs officer Legal officer PO GRC IT officer PO SAGE Financial & Legal Assistant PO SGO & SESAR rel. PO ED Staff in May 2010 - 19 - The adequacy of this staffing will be checked after some months of autonomous operation. Any increase will be submitted to the Governing Board for approval, with a ceiling of

24 agents (17 TA and 7 CA according to 2010-2012 Staff Policy Plan). 7.2 Summary information to the Annual Budget Plan Costs related to Staff (Title 1) - Salaries, contributions for pension, social assurance, other charges and allowances: include cost for secretary interim for "peaks", e.g the selection phases after calls for proposals. - Miscellaneous expenditures on staff: includes costs linked to recruitment, probational period, etc, and also costs related to consultancy, external support and interim; it is foreseen to use an external support for ex-post audits to the beneficiaries, for writing out the main documents which will rule the Clean Sky operational activity, etc. - Missions: the Executive Director, the Coordinating Project Officer, the six Project Officers, the Communication Officer and the Legal Officer have a significant number of travels, mainly within Europe, in order to attend operational meetings with ITDs, and some conferences as well. It is intended

to hold Steering Committees of ITDs not exclusively in Brussels, but also at the facilities of the Members. - Socio-medical infrastructure: this line includes staff training. In 2010, two weeks of training per staff member are anticipated. 7.3 Buildings, IT, Equipment, Communication, Management of calls and miscellaneous expenditure for running activities (Title 2) 7.31Buildings, IT The present offices in Covent Garden are provisional. The assumption is made that the current costs per square meter will be kept in the final location, including the performance of the works needed to make the building facilities useful for Clean Sky and the other JTIs. This section also includes the cost of the new IT contract, to be placed by the 5 JTIs together in 2010, for the provision of all IT hardware and services (a so-called turn-key solution). The current rented furniture, will be replaced by furniture which will be purchased following a procurement procedure once the final location is known.

7.32 Communication The focus of the 2010 communication activities shall be: - to communicate the objectives of the CS JU and the involvement of industry in the greening of air transport through the Clean Sky projects - 20 - - to raise public awareness of the importance of the CS JU environmental goals and its role in boosting Europe’s competitiveness to establish CS leveraging role within European Aeronautics R&D to inform about the launching of Calls for Proposals, with a particular attention devoted to the participation of SMEs (it has to be noted that the appropriation concerning call for proposal – see above – includes the cost of Information Days, which are not included here). The communication principles shall be in conformity with directive 1049 and the Aarhus convention as per CS Regulation. A communication strategy including a long term communication plan for the CS JU shall be presented to the Governing Board for adoption in June 2010. Proposed communication

materials and tools include: web-site, electronic newsletter, press material, brochures, audio-visual publicity material and standard slide presentations. The present Website is provisional. It has to be renewed and this is an urgent priority It shall be the only official communication tool both for general information and enquiries and for specific information on Calls for proposals. This appropriation also covers the cost of events other than Calls for Proposals Information Days: press conferences, General Forum, participation in conferences (exhibition stands,), and costs linked to public relations, including travels, meeting rooms, invitations. 7.33 Management of calls for proposals These are the activities for ensuring the proper reception and evaluation of project proposals submitted in response to Calls published by the JU, including the invitation and contracting of external experts to assist the evaluation. Four calls for proposals are planned in 2010, with an average number

of 30 topics per call; The reimbursement of evaluators is the main item of this budget line. It is intended to cover the travel, subsistence and other visiting expenses and the costs of other formalities incurred by experts assisting the proposal evaluation. An average of 50 external and 50 internal experts is taken into account for each call, during one week. Given the weight of this budget item, cost reduction solutions will be actively looked for. One possible way would be to perform a part of this evaluation process through experts and topic managers remote access to the IT tool. This will not be attempted before the CSJU has checked it perfectly handles the process with the classical means. But, in order to keep on the safe side, the present financial forecast does not take such an option into account. Information days allow the CSJU to inform a large number of potential participants about the content of each call, and to recall the rules and guidelines. In 2010, it is foreseen to

have 2 information days per call: one in Brussels and one in a Member State (especially, those States with a lower involvement in aeronautics, of with no of very few industrial Members in Clean Sky) in order to widen the panel of applicants and then, of partners, as this is a condition for a continued political support. - 21 - 8. PRIORITIES, KEY OBJECTIVES AND RISK ASSESSMENT These key objectives are twofold: - a first set of objectives is linked to the management of the programme and refers to the running costs budget; these objectives are related to the CSJU Work Programme which is summarized below; - another set of objectives is related to the operational activities. These objectives (main deliveries and milestones) are addressed above in Chapter 6. Key indicators, comprising those applied by DG RTD, will be introduced to monitor achievement of objectives. The main management tasks of the CSJU in 2010 are to implement all the tools in order to define or update the strategy, to

identify the management rules and to fully implement the internal controls.
