For the needs of the venture, Riga Airport will acquire plane noise measurements and atmospheric mannequin information, take part within the growth of air high quality and noise evaluation indicators, definition of knowledge sources in different airports and growth of airport operations situation and affect evaluation.
Riga Airport has concluded a cooperation settlement in a world research on the usage of low-emission plane applied sciences and the chances of decreasing air air pollution and noise emissions close to the airport with the assistance of revolutionary applied sciences.
The venture Integration and Digital Demonstration of Low Emission Aircraft Technologies and Airport Operations (INDIGO) shall be carried out by ten collaborating organizations in 5 international locations, together with the University Carlos III of Madrid in Spain, the Universities of Strathclyde and Bristol in Great Britain, the Bochum Technical University in Germany, the German Aerospace Research Centre, Italian Aerospace Research Centre, and Riga Airport.
“Real progress towards aviation sustainability is possible only in the process of knowledge transfer and cooperation between academic science, creators of innovations and practitioners who manage processes at airports on a daily basis. We are pleased that it is Riga Airport that becomes the reference airport in the study, which is carried out by internationally highly rated partners and whose main goal is a sustainable aviation industry,” says Laila Odiņa, Chairperson of the Board of Riga Airport.
For the needs of the venture, Riga Airport will acquire plane noise measurements and atmospheric mannequin information, take part within the growth of air high quality and noise evaluation indicators, definition of knowledge sources in different airports and growth of airport operations situation and affect evaluation.
The goal of the INDIGO venture is to find out the potential advantages what could be ensured from the usage of a brand new sort of medium-sized plane powered by hybrid electrical propulsion and in a position to fly ultra-quiet and with minimal emissions close to airports however utilizing standard or sustainable aviation gas – at larger altitudes – for bettering air high quality and decreasing noise ranges close to airports. The venture is financed by the Horizon programme of the European Union.
