GEESE: How migrating birds are inspiring more sustainable aviation
|
SESAR partners are joining forces to test wake energy recovery (WER) to optimise fuel use and reduce CO2 emissions. Gain Environmental Efficiency by Saving Energy (GEESE) is a new SESAR industrial research project funded within the framework of the Digital European Sky, which will map out how to enable WER operations.

Every drop counts: Lufthansa invests in SESAR technology to reduce CO2 emissions
|
As early as 2024, Lufthansa will start implementing a fleet of up to 65 Airbus aircraft equipped with SESAR technology to transmit flight trajectory information in real time, a key enabler for improving flight predictability and reducing emissions.

A green light for two new collaborative solutions
|
Two new SESAR Solutions recently got the green light that will improve collaborative decision making (CDM) between airspace users, local flow managers, and the Network Manager. Delivered by the Optimised Airspace Users Operations (OAUO- PJ.07-W2) project, the solutions will help improve coordination and increase the predictability of air traffic in Europe’s airspace.

U-space makes it “Big in Japan”
|
In June, the SESAR 3 JU and project partners travelled to Japan to showcase their work on U-space and exchange on developments with the country’s aviation and drone community. The main purpose of the trip was a bilateral technical workshop with the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO), and also included meetings with the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) and participation at Japan Drone 2023.

Keeping the balance in drone traffic
|
Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) are on the cusp of disrupting urban mobility as we know it. But before we can catch a flying taxi to the airport or get our latest online purchase delivered directly to our doorstep via a cargo drone, they need to be safely integrated into the urban airspace.

Keeping airports safe and secure
|
A SESAR 3 JU project has evaluated how 5G-based positioning and sensing and mmWave radar can improve operations in secondary airports. The NewSense project aimed to improve safety and efficiency of operations, primarily in secondary airports, with innovative low-cost surface surveillance solutions using 5G and millimetre waves signals, which are widely used outside ATM.
