Analysis of current situation and expected future bottlenecks and challenges in air cargo - First results of CargoMap project

The paper focuses on the first results of the EU Air Cargo Technology Roadmap project (CargoMap). The project investigates if novel aircraft is needed to satisfy the demand for air cargo and develops an air cargo technology roadmap. The goal of this study is to identify and examine the factors influencing medium to long-term air freight development in order to gain a better understanding of the air freight transport system and its interdependencies. The outcome of this analysis is intended to provide a basis for the development of a technology roadmap for future concepts (e.g. vehicles, operations, etc.) in air freight transport

CargoMap: An Air Cargo Technology Road Map

This paper focuses on the first results of the Air Cargo Technology Roadmap project (CargoMap) that is supported by the European Commission. The project investigates if novel aircraft are needed to satisfy the demand for air cargo in the long term future and develops an air cargo technology roadmap. The outcome of the market analysis is intended to provide a basis for the development of technology for future concepts (e.g. vehicles, operations, etc.) in air freight transport. The study is supporting the content of the Horizon 2020 technology program
