Former European Aircraft Concept Research: NACRE (2005-2010)
• Started in April 2005, lasted 5 years• Budget € 30m, € 16.9m funded by EC• 4 major aircraft manufacturers, 3 major
engine manufacturers, 3 key suppliers, 10 Research Centres, 7 Universities, 4 SMEs
Champion concepts were nurtured within NACRE, aiming at, respectively:• Increased Environmental performance• Improved Passenger experience• Low-Cost high-Volume

From NACRE to PROCON2030
NACRE resulted in the capability to design • environmental driven aircraft• passenger experience driven aircraft• cost-efficient aircraft
NACRE results were taken up in the CleanSky1program
Sep 2013AirTN 2013
The new project PROCON should extend the capabilities, meeting the challenge• Energy change • Climate change • Operations change An additional capability will be the robustness of solutions in different scenarios
PROCON results will feed in the CleanSky2 program
PROCON2030New Aircraft propulsion concepts, configuration integration & operations
for 2030+
