Achieving the goals of climate neutrality by reducing the impact of aviation is a task that requires a carefully drafted roadmap for the development of disruptive technologies and concepts of operations. With particular attention to the emissions of pollutants and noise in airport local airport areas, a synergetic approach is needed that combines together interventions on the aircraft side and on the airport side. This calls for coordinated efforts in developing technologies that not only provide benefits during cruise conditions but also are capable of improving the local air quality and noise in airport areas where the impact of pollutants and annoyance to local communities has been demonstrated to be quite large in terms of morbidity and mortality. INDIGO is a collaborative project between academia, research centres and airports that aims at identifying the margins of improvement in airport local air quality and noise resulting from the introduction of a new non-conventional mid-range aircraft featuring distributed propulsion based on hybrid electric/sustainable and conventional fuel powertrain and large aspect-ratio wings capable to fly quietly and in zero-to-low-emission mode (i.e. electric and SAF) at low altitudes near airports and resort to conventional aviation fuel only when required, e.g. at higher altitudes or to recharge batteries during cruise. INDIGO will explore a new paradigm for the next-generation of silent and clean mid-range aircraft and for the way such a new aircraft will allow transforming the operations “at and near” airports. It will introduce improved methods for the analysis of future aviation environmental impact that, under the filter of uncertainty, will be able to account for non-conventional aircraft performance and future airport scenarios.

通过减少航空的影响来实现气候中和的目标是一项任务，需要精心起草一份开发颠覆性技术和运营概念的路线图。特别注意机场当地机场地区的污染物和噪音排放，需要采取协同办法，将飞机方面和机场方面的干预措施结合起来。这就要求协调努力开发技术，不仅在巡航条件下提供惠益，而且能够改善机场地区的当地空气质量和噪音，因为污染物和对当地社区的干扰已被证明在发病率和死亡率方面影响很大。靛蓝是学术界，研究中心和机场，旨在确定引入新型非传统中程飞机后机场当地空气质量和噪音的改善幅度，该新型飞机具有基于混合动力电动/可持续和传统燃料动力系统的分布式推进器，以及能够安静飞行并在零至低排放模式下飞行的大展弦比机翼（即电动和SAF），仅在需要时才使用常规航空燃料，例如在较高高度使用或在巡航期间为电池充电。靛蓝将为下一代静音和清洁中程飞机探索新的模式，并为这种新飞机将允许改变“在机场和附近”的运营方式。它将引入用于分析未来航空环境影响的改进方法，在过滤不确定性的情况下，将能够解释非传统飞机的性能和未来机场的情况。
