ESATTO : the holistic framework to support the design of sustainable supersonic aviation

The request for faster and greener civil aviation is urging the worldwide scientific community and aerospace industry to develop a new generation of supersonic aircraft, which are expected to be environmentally sustainable and to guarantee a high-level protection of citizens. To pursue this purpose, MORE&LESS (MDO and REgulations for Low boom and Environmentally Sustainable Supersonic aviation), answering the EC call “Towards global environmental regulation of supersonic aviation” (LC-MG-1-15-2020), aims to support Europe in shaping global environmental regulations for future supersonic aviation. Specifically, the project aims to provide the Scientific Community with an integrated multi-disciplinary framework consisting of validated and accepted tools to holistically assess the environmental impact of supersonic airplanes on the future global air navigation system. This paper aims to describe the overall architecture of the ESATTO Framework, providing the readers with details on the development status of the different constituent modules and the planned ideas for its exploitation.
