Digital European SkyA smoother transition
to cleaner aviation.
ZEUS is developing an integrated framework to model, manage and assess how next-generation zero- and low-emission aircraft can join Europe’s future air traffic management network.
The project defines representative operations and use cases to explore mixed-fleet operations, integration challenges and performance impacts. Looking beyond 2035, it brings aircraft technology, traffic forecasts and airspace planning together to prepare for a changing fleet.
