On July 25th, the HUCAN project held an introductory meeting with the CONCERTO project, an initiative funded by Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking. This meeting created the opportunity to explore the approaches to innovative certification methods the two projects are developing in their respective scope of actions, paving the way for potential synergies and collaboration opportunities.
Both HUCAN and CONCERTO are at the forefront of research into future-oriented certification methods, exploring the new safety and accountability requirements arising from the rise of advanced automation and disruptive technologies in the aviation sector. By fostering collaborative initiatives, these projects aim to capitalize on their shared resources and develop a unified approach to communication of their achievements and methodologies.
This meeting marked an important step towards an open and collaborative research environment, stressing the value of cross-project collaboration. By aligning their efforts, these initiatives can accelerate the development of innovative certification solutions and enhance the overall efficiency and sustainability of aviation.
Such occasions are essential in order to explore and coordinate the priorities and the efforts carried out by the projects belonging to the different funding programmes. These exchanges help projects by offering a clearer view of similar initiatives and by discussing the emerging priorities and goals of research at various stages of development.
About CONCERTO
CONCERTO‘s primary aim is to develop draft regulatory frameworks that facilitate groundbreaking innovations in the aviation industry.This involves a dual approach. Firstly, CONCERTO partners are creating a comprehensive set of regulations for aircraft certification, alongside preliminary Methods of Compliance aligned with Clean Aviation’s three key pillars. Secondly, they are evaluating the potential of a digital certification framework to enhance collaboration and enable model-based certification.
