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.
