With the FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 Academy’s official launch now already well behind us, our participants find themselves in the middle of the work on the topics agreed with their FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 mentors. During the first week of September, the academy participants will present the results of this work in the course of the 11^th  EASN conference, which this year once more has to take place in a virtual format.

The first 2021 summer issue of the quarterly e-newsletter of the European Aeronautics Science Network (EASN) is out now! It features the latest news and progress of the FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 project as well as useful links to our recent open-access publications.

On Monday 28th of May 2021, researchers from Cranfield University, EMBRAER S.A., Embraer RT Europe and University of Stuttgart who have been assigned as mentors of the FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 academy participants from the University of Palermo, gathered online with their mentees in a productive meeting.

Our FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 Russian partner, State Research Institute of Aviation Systems (GosNIIAS), is very pleased to organize the 6th International Scientific and Technical Conference "Prospects of Civil Avionics Development" within the framework of MAKS-2021 on July 22, 2021.

The FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 project team is particularly proud to have included in its plans the FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 Academy. The establishment of a FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 academy will help to prepare future professionals for the challenges of Flightpath 2050. In form of academic modules, workshops, and continuous professional development courses, FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 will foster a strong network of graduate and postgraduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and young engineers aligned with the hybrid-electric matters and dissemination of the tools created.

Undoubtedly, the pandemic has hit our past habits particularly hard with the large scale social gatherings being at the front row. No need to say that scientific gatherings such as conferences and workshops could not constitute an exception. In this frame, this year the well-known EASN International Conference went fully virtual for its 10th edition that was dedicated to “Innovation in Aviation & Space to the Satisfaction of the European Citizens”.

The August edition of the EASN Newsletter is now available! If you are interested to learn more about the activities in which our project has been involved so far, you may read our latest  FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 dedicated article included in this second issue for 2020 of the EASN e-newsletter.

On July 6th, the FUTPRINT50 teams from the University of Stuttgart and ADSE led the e-workshop dedicated to "Aircraft Design Specs & Mission" from our ongoing internal workshop series. With input from all consortium partners, various future propulsion technologies were investigated to test their feasibility in a hybrid-electric regional aircraft. Further to this, the vision statement was enhanced from the stakeholders’ perspective and reference missions were analyzed.

FᴜᴛPʀIɴᴛ50 organises a series of digital internal workshops to discuss key interactions and synergies among the three key-technologies considered in the project: energy harvesting, energy storage, and thermal management, and their integration in terms of:
