DEMETRA Demonstrator of an Electrified Modern Efficient Transport Regional Aircraft

Coordinator: AVIONS DE TRANSPORT REGIONAL GIE (FR)

In a scenario where the climate change is becoming more and more important, it is pivotal to explore new solutions for a greener mobility that help reduce the emission related with aviation. In this context, the DEMETRA project aims to demonstrate disruptive technologies for regional aviation with high level of maturity, targeting entry into service in 2035. The objective is the validation and feasibility of hybrid propulsion for regional aircraft, as well as the development of innovative technologies for emission reduction. A real scale solution for hybrid powerplant, powered by batteries, i…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €35.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2026-01-01 to 2030-12-31.
