The SMR Aircraft Architecture and Technology Project (SMR ACAP) shall be the central place to assess and integrate all technologiesat aircraft level, from across the projects in the SMR pillar. Establishing the link to projects with relevant technologies in the other CleanAviation "Pillars" and transverse projects associated with novel certification methods is part of the work plan of the project. The setupof the ACAP project is tailored to steer and manage the definition of the targeted SMR aircraft configurations with all key performancefeatures required for the SMR architecture. In order to accelerate the maturation of the SMR aircraft technologies, ACAP will providea digital collaborative framework with tools, means and skills enabling to continuously link all R&T activities within the SMR pillar(strongly linked to other Clean Aviation pillars) to deliver solutions meeting the Clean Aviation high level goals: reduce the greenhousegases by -30% compared to a 2020 state of the art technology; support the launch of new product by 2035, to replace 75% of the fleet by2050, and exploit the synergies with other national and European related programmes. Coordinated by Airbus, the project consortium iscomposed of a well balanced mix of innovative actors from the aeronautical industry covering almost all technical disciplines of aircraftR&T complemented by a strong foundation of Academia and Research and Technology Organisations, which will be further widenedwith the planned linking to other CA projects. The ACAP project is aiming to identify "best athlete" SMR aircraft concepts before theend of CA phase 1 and, based on sound analysis of the expected impact with respect to the CA objectives, to propose which technologiesshall be further developed and demonstrated in a Clean Aviation phase 2.
