Aeronautics Research 2003 - 2006 projects
This book contains the synopses of all of the aeronautics and air transport projects under the fi rst and second calls (Calls 1A, 2A, 1B) for proposals of the Sixth Research Framework Programme (FP6) of the European Commission. The synopses are intended to provide a brief overview of project objectives, technological approaches and expected achievements. Some administrative fea tures and partnership details are also given, allowing for a more comprehensive description of the projects. The names and addresses of the project co-ordinators are provided, should any further informa tion be required. The project synopses are presented in four blocks representative of the four areas of the Aeronautics work programme. Also included in the book are lists of National Contact Points and contact details of the Commission staff involved in aeronautics and air transport. A list of abbreviations is intended to assist the reader in understanding the notation used in throughout the book, especially country names, institutions and widely used technical terms. In addition, two indexes at the back of the book allow the identifi cation of projects by contract number and by project acronym. Finally, an alphabetical index of all proj ect participants gives the page number of every project in which the participant is involved. The European Commission would like to thank the project coordinators for their replies to requests for photographs to complement the text of this publication.
