IFAR Global Challenges
IFAR aims to connect research organisations worldwide, to enable the information exchange on aviation research activities, to facilitate opportunities for networking and creating partnerships and to coordinate views and make recommendations for use by its Members.
The focus of IFAR is on non-competitive research and development related to global technical challenges such as those pertaining to
- emission,
- noise,
- security,
- safety,
- efficient operations and
- steps to reduce the impact of aviation on climate and the environment.
IFAR aims at developing a regularly updated IFAR Framework Document outlining global research objectives and technological opportunities for use by its Members. Therefore, IFAR interacts with the public, politics and industry, takes up the challenges identified by them and may act as an independent and politically neutral advisor.
