SMR Aircraft Architecture and Technology Project (SMR ACAP)

SMR飞机结构和技术项目（SMR ACAP）将是评估和整合SMR支柱项目中飞机级别所有技术的中心场所。建立与其他清洁航空“支柱”相关技术项目的联系，以及与新认证方法相关的横向项目，是该项目工作计划的一部分。ACAP项目的设置旨在引导和管理目标SMR飞机配置的定义，并具有SMR架构所需的所有关键性能特征。为了加速SMR飞机技术的成熟，ACAP将提供数字协作框架，包括工具、手段和技能，使SMR支柱内的所有研发活动（与其他清洁航空支柱密切相关）能够持续联系起来，以提供满足清洁航空高级目标的解决方案：与2020年最先进的技术相比，减少温室气体30%；支持到2035年推出新产品，到2050年取代75%的机队，并利用与其他国家和欧洲相关计划的协同效应。在空中客车公司的协调下，该项目联盟由来自航空工业的创新参与者组成，涵盖了飞机制造的几乎所有技术学科，并辅以坚实的学术和研究技术组织基础，随着计划与其他CA项目的联系，该联盟将进一步扩大。ACAP项目旨在在项目评估第一阶段结束前确定“最佳运动员”SMR飞机概念，并基于对项目评估目标预期影响的合理分析，提出哪些技术应在清洁航空第二阶段进一步开发和演示。

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.
