Urban climate simulation study "Zurich West"
The city of Zurich is investigating ways to improve the quality of life with regard to the heat stress that the population has to endure within the framework of the specialist planning for heat reduction. To this end, the City of Zurich has presented a catalogue of measures that contains a variety of approaches to ...

AISA – Artificial Situational Awareness Foundation for Advancing Automation
This project addresses the topic “Digitalisation and Automation principles for ATM”. Exploring the effect of, and opportunities for, distributed humanmachine situational awareness in en-route ATC operations is one of the main objectives of this project. Instead of automating isolated individual tasks, such as ...

COVID-AIR: Influence of the COVID-19-lockdown on Swiss air quality
In order to manage the corona pandemic, the number of aircraft movements was reduced worldwide. Before the Federal Council's decided to release the first relaxation measures, only 10% of scheduled flights took off at the end of April at Zurich Airport. But road traffic also fell sharply in the Zurich region: a ...

ACACIA – Advancing the Science for Aviation and Climate
The EU-H2020 project ACACIA runs for 3.5 years from January 2020 to June 2023.Non-CO2 emissions of aviation may impact climate as much as aviation's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions do. However, the impact of the non-CO2 effects (e.g. ozone and methane from NOx emissions, contrails, indirect aerosol effects) is ...

CLEANAIR: Assessment of the impact of aviation on air quality
Last summer's extraordinary heat waves, and the "Fridays for Future" movement, have once again fueled the climate debate and had a significant impact on the "green wave" of this year's parliamentary elections. This is very welcome, because with every IPCC report, the future scenarios of global climate change are ...

Development of the New Language Component of the FEAST Test
The FEAST test suite was designed by EUROCONTROL to be used in the recruitment process for ab initio air traffic controllers. The test suite comprises of several sub-tests, and it is up to the users of the test to decide which components they want to use as part of their internal recruitment process. The aim of this ...

Safety Analysis for the Structural Integrity of Ageing Airplanes
This Engineering Investigation will ensure the structural integrity of the ageing airplanes in Switzerland. For most data any data from the manufacturer is available because there is no TCM holder. Therefore flight measurements will be done for the loads development and Details structural Analysis followed by damage ...

AGEAIR: Investigation of the effects of performance deterioration and AGEing on gaseous and particulate emissions of in-service AIRcraft turbofan engines
The thresholds for various pollutants of turbofan engines with a thrust above 26.7 kN are defined in the Chicago convention, Annex 16, Volume 1-3. Since the emitted particulate matter has become increasingly finer in recent decades, the measurement standard had to be refined. From 2020 on, not only the so-called ...

SORA Planning Tool for the approval of civil drone missions
Development of a SORA planning tool (SORA Tool) with focus on the evaluation of ground risks. The dynamic population density, airspaces, airfields, external landing sites as well as safety-critical objects (e.g. nuclear power plants or embassies) are to be represented in map form. The FOCA, the cantons and the ...

Trace gases Measurement by a VTOL
The GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam focuses on research in the field of exchange processes between soil and the atmosphere. In particular, the climate-relevant gases methane and CO2 in ground-level air layers are to be measured to make climate models more accurate. This is supposed to be done with unmanned aircraft ...

Drone flight beyond visual line of sight
Research project to develop procedures for safe drone flight operations beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). The term BVLOS describes a flight or part of a flight during which the drone pilot does not have visual contact with the drone. For example, these can be flights at night, flights in poor visibility (fog) or ...
