In this paper, we show the recent trends in aircraft propulsion system design going in line with the European Union’s “ACARE FlightPath 2050” strategy. A short review of the actual aero-engines thermal cycle analysis and propulsion system analysis is provided, and the midterm evolution of the design parameters is explained, based on the application of the breakthrough technologies and developments of the fourth industrial revolution. The development of the classical propulsion units design is documented by the most advanced examples. On the basis of the long-term vision to meet future goals on the limits of greenhouse gas emissions as well as noxious exhalation and noise reduction, new design concepts of aircraft propulsion systems are shown. These include integration of an aircraft fuselage and wing with a propulsion unit, new propulsion concept of distributed propulsion integrated to the airframe, wing and body boundary layer ingestion, laminar flow wing, new concepts of electrical propulsion, supercooled electrical motors and generators, new principle of energy accumulation, alternative fuels, liquid hydrogen as a source of the propulsion power, and a medium for maintenance of the supercooled electrical power propulsion part.

The paper presents a possible roadmap for the definition of a European quality label for aerospace related higher education degrees. The proposal is the result of a two-years long Horizon 2020 project that has involved a great portion of the European stakeholders in aerospace: Universities, research centres, industries (both small and large) networks, associations and accreditation agencies. The core concept established is that it is possible to establish a sector-specific, content based, quality system, that can complement the existing national or European accreditation systems, providing added value to the internal and/or external quality assurance processes that are in place in most EU countries. The tools and processes proposed are sufficiently simple to be manageable by Universities in addition to their national accreditation processes or as stand-alone assessment. The main goal of the proposed process is the evaluation of the quality of the aerospace curricula in the European context, whereas the accreditation of the programme can be seen as an optional extension of the process, subject to further national regulations. The process is proposed in view of the awarding of a sector-specific, content based, quality label, to be issued by an appropriate legally recognized and qualified institution. 8 field tests with volunteering universities throughout Europe have been performed. They experienced the method as very practical and to the point.
