Iberia: El proyecto Aviator sigue adelante para lograr una aviación más sostenible

Nota de prensa








El Proyecto AVIATOR, financiado por el Programa Horizonte 2020 de la Unión Europea (UE), y dedicado a analizar el impacto de las emisiones de aviación en la calidad del aire de los aeropuertos y los alrededores, sigue adelante. La pasada semana se han realizado pruebas en un avión Airbus A340-600 de Iberia en el aeropuerto de Ciudad Real.

Expertos del INTA, coordinador del consorcio que compone AVIATOR, y de otras empresas e instituciones realizaron diversas mediciones de la emisión de partículas, compuestos orgánicos volátiles y gases (dióxido de carbono y óxidos de nitrógeno y azufre), entre otros, derivados del funcionamiento de los motores convencionales de aviación.

El proyecto AVIATOR consiguió hace más de dos años la máxima puntuación otorgada por la Agencia Ejecutiva de Innovación y Redes, lo que le permitió conseguir la financiación de la UE dentro de los Retos Sociales de Horizonte 2020 (Transporte sostenible, Salud e Impacto ambiental).

Otros objetivos clave de AVIATOR consisten en desarrollar sensores de bajo coste para determinar partículas ultrafinas, medir las emisiones en función de las condiciones climáticas (para lo que se trabajará en distintos aeropuertos europeos, entre ellos el de Madrid) y desarrollar modelos que permiten estudiar la microfísica real que se produce en la emisión de un motor de combustión.

“El proyecto AVIATOR nace del compromiso del INTA con la investigación y la búsqueda de nuevos métodos y tecnologías que permitan una caracterización más completa de las emisiones procedentes de motores de aviación. Los resultados obtenidos en las campañas de medida de AVIATOR contribuirán a la implementación de nuevas normativas que conduzcan a una aviación más sostenible y una mejor calidad del aire”, afirma Jesús Maellas Benito, Jefe del Área de Energía y Medioambiente del INTA.

Por su parte, Teresa Parejo, directora de Sostenibilidad de Iberia, señala que “la aviación se enfrenta al gran reto de la descarbonización y para ello creemos que es fundamental realizar una apuesta clara, decidida y ambiciosa por la investigación, para garantizar una aviación sostenible a largo plazo. Participamos en el proyecto AVIATOR con el objetivo de entender mejor el impacto que tiene la aviación en la calidad del aire, tanto cuando se utilizan combustibles de origen fósil como sostenibles”.

Van’s RV–15 in the works - AOPA

https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2021/july/26/vans-rv-15-in-the-works 

Van's officials confirmed July 26 that their next airplane will be made of metal like the kit airplanes that preceded it. But it will have a high wing and be "suitable" for backcountry flying at remote airstrips.

"We're excited about the design. It's a large departure," Rian Johnson, president of Van's Aircraft, said. "Patience until we get it just right."

The backcountry RV–15 will be available as a tailwheel aircraft first, and then with tricycle gear later. Most Van's designs are offered with either tailwheel or tricycle landing gear (except the RV–10 and RV–12, which are tricycle only).  The aircraft will feature a stick rather than a yoke.
