The "Clean Sky" JTI is an innovative, large programme that will radically improve the impact of Air Transport on the environment while strengthening and securing European aeronautics industry’s competitiveness. Its purpose is to demonstrate and validate the technological breakthroughs that are necessary to reach the environmental goals set by the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE: the European Technology Platform for Aeronautics & Air Transport).

A JTI is a new instrument created by the European Commission for the Framework Programme 7 (FP7) to allow the implementation of ambitious and complex Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) of such a scale that they will require the mobilisation and management of very substantial public and private investment and human resources.

Together with Agusta Westland, Airbus, Alenia Aeronautica, Dassault Aviation, EADS-CASA, Eurocopter, Liebherr-Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, Saab AB, Safran and Thales the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is one of the platform leaders and a member of the “Clean Sky” JTI Executive Board.
