RIGHT Final Symposium

NACRE 2nd Conference - New Aircraft Concepts

8-10 July 2008 - University of Greenwich, London, UK

The second NACRE (New Aircraft Concepts Research) Conference will be held from 8th to 10th July 2008 at the University of Greenwich - Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site - United Kingdom.

NACRE is a 30-million Euros European R&T project, partly funded by the European Commission. The objective of the research is to create, develop, validate and integrate breakthrough technologies that will enable novel aircraft concept design to provide the aviation sector with significant improvements in aircraft efficiency, environmental performance, comfort and economics.

The conference aims to engage with a broad audience, including members of the wider Aeronautical, Scientific & Technology community to raise general awareness about recent technological advances on future aircraft configurations. Delegates will be able to share information on the drivers for research on unconventional aircraft concepts and on the NACRE project achievements to date.

The project was launched in April 2005 and is scheduled to run for four years. The research work is divided into three multidisciplinary work packages:

I. Wing system & control surfaces

II. Powerplant system design & integration III. Cabin system & fuselage

The NACRE consortium gathers 36 organisations from 13 countries in Europe (including Russia).
