  13. WP E.3 - Light weight and fuel efficient diesel engines • Thus the major areas of interest can be divided as follows: • Engine – The engine weight optimization and high energy/mass design • Turbocharging – application of new turbocharger design with use of new/alternative materials and environmentally friendly parameters. • Systems – control systems and fuel injection system redesign • Engines manufacturing and testing on ground and in flight - validation and integration of used technologies SAT in the CS2

  14. WP E.4 - Low noise efficient propeller • Innovations/improvements in the area: • Noise abatement • improved aerodynamics for better efficiency and therefore reduced fuel consumption • advanced propeller a de-icing system for better efficiency and therefore reduced fuel consumption and for reduced propeller system weight • Improvement of total propulsion efficiency in conjunction with electric drives SAT in the CS2

  15. Small Aircraft Systems Peculiarity • Small aircraft systems are different from large aircraft systems due to the ultimate need for low weight, small dimensions, low cost and the severity to achieve these requirements on small dimension equipments together with reliability and performance. • The answer to many if this question is NO that’s why the need for an independent role in Clean Sky 2 for European Small Aircraft OEM. Have been the Small Aircraft priority taken into account? Are the technology directly employable in Small Aircraft? Open Rotor MTM EMA Are these technology directly/easily scalable? 270 VDC Generator & Energy Management Are the architecture applicable on small Aircraft dimensions? E-ECS Low Power deicing system
