Clean Sky: Hutchinson to lead sustainable innovation projects
Reading time: 1 minute
WHAT IS CLEAN SKY?
Clean Sky is a European research program with public-private collaboration between research institutes and aerospace companies. The eponymous programs (Clean Sky and Clean Sky 2) are dedicated to developing innovations and upgrades in aircraft to reduce impacts on the environment.
OUR INVOLVEMENT
Hutchinson is coordinating two projects within Clean Sky 2 (CS2). The focus of these projects is the latter goal of CS2, that is to make aircraft more environmentally friendly.
RADIANT PANEL
The Radiant Panel project calls upon our experience in developing thermal management systems. Hutchinson will work with a team of experts, including CANOE and CTAG, to create a radiation heating system for aircraft cabin panels using bio-based materials. The design will reduce the weight of the cabin and thus reduce the aircraft’s emissions.
