the airíne españwave Iberia works to achieve aviationón más sustainable with the AVIATOR Project, funded by the Horizon Program 2020 from the Unión European (EU).
During the past week tests have been carried out on an aircraftón Airbus A340-600 from Iberia at the Ciudad Real airport dedicated to analyzing the impact of aviation emissionsón in the air quality of the airports and the surroundings, keep going
INTA experts, coordinator of the consortium that makes up AVIATOR, and other companies and institutions carried out various measurements of the emission.ón of partínaughty, org compoundsánicos volátiles y gases (Ofódrive from carbon and ónitrous oxideógene and sulfur), among others, derived from the operation of conventional aviation enginesón.
The AVIATOR project achievedó m agoás from two toñbone the mátop scoreón awarded by the Executive Agency for Innovationón and Networks, what I allowedó get financingón of the EU within the Horizon Social Challenges 2020 (Sustainable transport, health and Environmental impact).
Other key objectives of AVIATOR are to develop low-cost sensors to determine partíultra-thin butts, measure emissions based onón of climatic conditionsáethics (what I know how to work forá in different European airports, among them the one of Madrid) and develop models that allow studying the microfíreal physics that occurs in the broadcastón by a combustion engineón.
“The AVIATOR project is born from INTA's commitment to researchón and búsearch for new méeveryone and technologyíso that they allow a characterizationón más complete coverage of emissions from aviation enginesón. The results obtained in the fieldsñAVIATOR measurement measures contributeán a la implementationón of new regulations that lead to an aviationón más sustainable and better air quality”, says Jesusús Maellas Benito, Boss of Ábad energyía and Environment of INTA.
For his part, Teresa Parejo, Director of Sustainability Iberia, I knowñwhich:
“the aviationón faces the great challenge of decarbonizationón and for this we believe that it is essential to make a clear bet, determined and ambitious for researchón, to ensure aviationón long-term sustainable. We participate in the AVIATOR project with the aim of better understanding the impact that aviation has.ón in air quality, both when fuels of origin fósil as sustainable”.
