FAA selects eight bidders for share of green funding

摘要

The US Federal Aviation Administration has selected eight parties to participate in a slightly scaled-down second phase of a programme dedicated to subsidising development of a suite of emission- and noise-reducing technologies for commercial aviation. Its Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions and Noise (CLEEN) II programme offers up to $100 million in FAA funding from fiscal years 2015 to 2020 to eight bidders, including Aurora Flight Sciences, Boeing, GE Aviation, a Delta TechOps/MDS Coating Technologies/America's Phenix team, Honeywell, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and a Rohr/ UTC Aerospace Systems effort.
