SESAR research to enable access of rotorcraft to airports of all sizes
|
Recent flight trials by SESAR Joint Undertaking members and partners in Italy have demonstrated how instrument flight rules (IFR) procedures designed specifically for rotorcraft can enable their access to airports without impacting fixed-wing commercial traffic. The flight trials were conducted by ENAV (the Italian ANSP - Air Navigation Service Provider), in collaboration with LEONARDO Helicopters Division within the framework of SESAR 2020 project on enhanced runway throughput (PJ.02 EARTH).

SESAR JU partners test system to reduce wake vortices during landing
|
SESAR Joint Undertaking partners are demonstrating the effectiveness of a system using plate lines – a system of parallel plates arranged one after another - to reduce wake vortices at large airports. With the results from recent validations, the partners plan to refine the specifications of the system and to complete an installation at Vienna Airport in order to demonstrate the benefits more widely.

Latest SESAR JU research addresses air traffic delays and congestion
|
The summer season is upon us, which invariably means more air traffic in Europe. The SESAR Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU) members and partners are demonstrating how local demand and capacity balancing (DCB) solutions can improve predictability and punctuality of air traffic in the overall network. The research was conducted within the context of Network Collaborative Management (PJ24), a SESAR 2020 very large-scale demonstration.

SESAR Gulf of Finland U-space project: First demos successfully completed
|
The two demos marked first steps in the Gulf of Finland (GOF) U-space very large demonstrator, but a leap for the implementation of drone traffic management in Europe. For the first time ever, general aviation aircraft, drones, and recreational remote-controlled model aircraft safely shared the airspace above and around an operational airfield during the first demo at the East Helsinki Aerodrome in Pyhtää, Finland, on June 11. During the second demo on June 14, urban drone operations above and below 500 feet were demonstrated in controlled airspace in Tallinn, Estonia.
