Clean Air Engine - Claire
MTU experts, in partnership with futurologists of Bauhaus Luftfahrt, have defined the long-term goals for aircraft engine technology development and launched the Claire (Clean Air Engine) technology project. 15 percent, 20 percent, 30 percent less carbon dioxide are the staged goals the company has set for itself to achieve with Clean Air Engine by 2035.
The Clean Air Engine program revolves around a novel engine concept, the geared turbofan. That engine alone already provides a reduction in carbon dioxide emission by fully 15 percent. Concurrently, plans are to reduce oxides of nitrogen and noise.
