Green light for two new subprojects ‘Luchtvaart in Transitie’
The green light has been given for the ‘Luchtvaart in Transitie’ subprojects Flying Vision Accelerator and DASAL. Through roadmaps and model-based simulations and scenarios, the projects will pool the necessary knowledge for a solid and underpinned foundation for making aviation more sustainable. Flying Vision Accelerator is being led by TU Delft. The project leadership of DASAL lies with Royal NLR. The grants for both subprojects have been agreed and can now really start. ‘Luchtvaart in Transitie’ is a programme of the Dutch National Growth Fund.
