The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently awarded six private companies more than $100 million through the Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions and Noise (CLEEN) Program to develop technologies that reduce fuel use, emissions and noise.
CLEEN is a public-private partnership that is part the FAA’s overall strategy to tackle climate change and lower the impact of aviation on it. Companies receiving contracts are required to match or exceed the FAA’s investment. This is phase three of the FAA’s program.
