The purpose of the COMPANION project is to define, design and prepare a common flight test demonstrator platform to enable the validation of ultra-efficient propulsion systems developed in Clean Aviation Call#01 projects at full scale and in a wide envelope of realistic operational conditions. Given the clear requirement in the roadmap planning of the CA projects OFELIA and SWITCH for flight test demonstrations in Clean Aviation Phase 2 to achieve TRL 6 before the end of the program in 2030, a corresponding platform must be prepared to be available before the end of year 2026. The project targets to prepare and deliver the hardware of the flight test platform ready for engine installation by the end of June 2026. The flight clearance process will be opened in COMPANION, but will need to continue with the installation of the demonstrator engines in follow-up projects to be defined at the end of CA Phase 1. The project plan proposes to prepare a common flight test demonstrator platform on the basis of an Airbus A380 aircraft with one of the inboard engine pylons modified to accommodate versatile ultra-efficient proposal systems which are currently under development for a Clean Aviation Short Range and Short and Medium Range concept aircraft, namely an Open Rotor test engine and a hybrid electric Ultra HighByPass Turbofan. The flight test aircraft will be fully equipped to host a diversity of standard and special flight test instrumentation that will be defined in close cooperation with the projects OFELIA and SWITCH to provide all data required to quantify the performance of the demonstrator engines under operational conditions. The test aircraft allows the demonstrator engines to operate on conventional kerosene and SAF fuel at blending rates of up to 100%.

伴侣项目的目的是定义，设计和准备一个通用的飞行测试演示器平台，以验证在清洁航空中开发的超高效推进系统，以全面和广泛​​的现实操作条件为单位。鉴于在2030年计划结束之前，必须在清洁航空2阶段的路线图计划中明确要求进行飞行测试示范，以实现TRL 6，必须准备一个相应的平台，准备在2026年底之前可用。项目的目标是在2026年6月底的飞行过程中准备并在2026年6月开放的过程中准备工作的硬件，以便在2026年6月开放的过程中进行启动测试平台。 the demonstrator engines in follow-up projects to be defined at the end of CA Phase 1.
