6 1. Background Cross-positioned within the Clean Sky 2 Programme, the Technology Evaluator (TE) is a dedicated evaluation platform. It has the key role of assessing the environmental impact of the technologies developed in Clean Sky 2 and their level of success towards well-defined environmental (noise, CO 2, NO x ) and societal benefits and targets. These technologies are developed by the IADPs (Innovative Aircraft Demonstrator Platforms) and ITDs (Integrated Technology Demonstrator projects) and clustered in coherent and mutually compatible solution sets, defining concept aircrafts. TE will conduct assessments on the various concept aircrafts at three levels: Aircraft level A Clean Sky 2 concept aircraft and its reference technology aircraft 2 is compared along the same trajectory in order to determine the environmental benefit of the Clean Sky 2 technologies, namely noise on ground and emissions (CO 2 and NO X ). Airport level A Clean Sky 2 concept aircraft replaces its reference technology counterpart at different time scales (2015/2020/2035/2050) in terms of airport traffic scenarios. The purpose of this replacement approach is to evaluate the full potential of environmental benefits of Clean Sky 2 technologies to an airport area, namely noise on the ground and population impacted by certain noise levels and emissions (CO 2 and NO x ). Air transport system (ATS) level Similarly to airport level, a Clean Sky 2 concept aircraft replaces its reference technology counterpart at different time scales (2015/2020/2035/2050) in terms of airport traffic scenarios. However, in this case the impact is measured at worldwide level.

Air transport system (ATS) level Similarly to airport level, a Clean Sky 2 concept aircraft replaces its reference technology counterpart at different time scales (2015/2020/2035/2050) in terms of airport traffic scenarios. However, in this case the impact is measured at worldwide level. This call partially addresses the ATS level for SAT by concentrating on a forecast for all types of Small Air transport aircraft (seats 4-19, pressurized and unpressurized cabin) and movements starting from 2015, passing by 2020/2025/2030 until 2035 as input for environmental, economic and connectivity assessments. 2. Scope The forecast will be developed in the following steps: a) Review of available SAT forecasts The Partner should compare the various available forecasts in terms of assumptions, data sources, relevance of drivers and variables. In addition, the Partner should draft a clear and concise comparison, highlighting the most relevant existing statistical and information gaps. b) Fine-tuning of the forecasting approach The Partner should agree with the Topic Manager which approach should be selected to pursue the forecasting, including the assumptions, drivers and especially market potentials targeted by other vehicles. The forecast should focus on passenger transport and provide results on expected movements between airports and airfields in terms of number of trips, average journey times and average distances. The Partner should use the expected GDP growth figures from Global Insight. In this exercise, the Partner will be provided by the Topic Manager, in agreement with the relevant Clean Sky 2 Members, with the following variables: - expected population growth - operational and technological parameters (speed, costs, etc.) The Partner is welcomed to bring new data to these variables, especially on airfields. When data is lacking for certain variables, the Partner should provide an approach to fill the gaps, which will be discussed and agreed with the Topic Manager and the relevant Clean Sky 2 Members. 27

28 c) Production of forecast The forecast shall start with 2015 based on available data. The forecast should quantify fleet and movements for the years 2020, 2025, 2030 and 2035 and should be carried out at country/region/world levels. Please find below the indicative schedule: - Month 2 Kick-off meeting (1 day) in Brussels The meeting will be organised by the Topic Manager. The Partner should present to the Topic Manager and relevant Clean Sky 2 Members the comparison of the various available forecasts in terms of assumptions, data sources, and relevance of drivers and variables, highlighting the most relevant existing statistical and information gaps. In addition, the Partner should put forward for discussion a proposal on the approach to fill the statistical and information gaps. - Month 4 Submission to the JU of the first report This report should contain in detail: o summary of the discussions during the kick-off meeting with the Topic Manager and relevant Clean Sky 2 Members o comparison of the various available forecasts in terms of assumptions, data sources, and relevance of drivers and variables, highlighting the most relevant existing statistical and information gaps. o collection of the data related to the expected movements o defined approach to fill the statistical and information gaps - Month 8 Intermediate meeting I (1 day) in Brussels The meeting will be organised by the Topic Manager. The Partner should present to the Topic Manager and relevant Clean Sky 2 Members the first forecast results. - Month 9 - Submission to the JU of the draft final report This report should contain in detail the first forecast results, including the remarks made during Intermediate meeting I. - Month 10 Intermediate meeting II (1 day) in Brussels The meeting will be organised by the Topic Manager. The Partner should present to the Topic Manager and relevant Clean Sky 2 Members the revised forecast results. - Month 12 Final meeting (1 day) in Brussels The meeting will be organised by the Topic Manager. The Partner should present to the Topic Manager and relevant Clean Sky 2 Members the final forecast. - Month 12 Submission to the JU of the final report This report should contain in detail: o description of the results including detailed movements matrices 28

29 o o abstract and an executive summary of a maximum of 6 pages recommendations Regarding data and results, they should also be provided in electronic form (i.e. Excel, csv, txt or equivalent). 3. Impact The forecast will provide information on the potential technology diffusion for different market segments of Clean Sky 2 Small Air Transport aircraft based on assumptions with regards to improved vehicle productivity. Furthermore, the forecast will support the impact assessments of Clean Sky 2 vehicle technologies and the quantification of the aviation footprint. Based on this, the Technology Evaluator will quantify the benefits of Clean Sky 2 technologies and their level of contribution to the Flightpath 2050 goals regarding environment, economy, connectivity/mobility and competitiveness. In addition, identified growth rates will be used to support airport level assessments, in which fleet mix changes will be used to quantify environmental assessments at airport level. 4. Special skills and capabilities expected from the applicants University/Public Research Organisation shall act as coordinator of the proposal Proven experience in the SAT sector Expertise in forecasting Experience in analysing and reporting on long-term trends for air traffic Access to an appropriate methodology; including the ability to quantify vehicle improvements and their impact on the market diffusion and fleet development Awareness of current literature relevant to long-term trends Ability to deliver clear and concise reports in English, based on solid evidence 29
