ATR has been entrusted by France’s CORAC with leading the consortium driving the PARIDES* research project. This unprecedented study involves over 10 partners exploring new technologies aiming at developing the next generation low-emission regional aircraft.
As part of its ‘France 2030’ investment plan, the French government set itself the ambitious goal of developing in France a low-emission aircraft for the next decade. A significant portion of this investment is feeding the technological roadmap of the National Council for Civil Aviation Research – CORAC. Bringing together leading manufacturers, research institutes and laboratories, CORAC supports research projects focusing for instance on the development of new ultra-efficient engines, electric hybridisation, and the 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel capability.
