Noise reduction breakthroughs for new ultraefficient aircraft
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Airframe / cabin noise for new aircraft design; Engine noise sources and installation effects; Noise perception/annoyance and mitigation methodologies. Scope: The topic aims to deliver advanced and validated numerical and experimental aero-acoustic methodologies for the noise prediction of new ultraefficient aircraft designs,…
Funding and competition
- 2grants expected (official)
- €2.5MEU contribution per project
- €3.5Mmedian EU grant of the most similar funded projects
- 174projects funded in earlier topics of this programme line
Very few grants: expect strong competition. Only proposals well above threshold are funded, so a clearly differentiated idea and a complete consortium are essential.
Success rates vary widely between topics (often from below 5% to above 30%). Ask us for the success-rate history of this topic before you commit to a proposal.
