Early in 1986, the Commission of the European Community observed a number of developments in world aviation, which were seen to threaten continuing success of the European aeronautic industry. In particular, a remarkable increase in research and development activities was noticed worldwide. These observations prompted the Commission to approach nine major European aircraft companies with the sug­ gestion that action should be taken at Community level. It was decided that all European aircraft companies should collaborate, and a consortium was established to undertake "A Joint Study of EUROpean Cooperative Measures for Aeronautical Research and Technology", abbreviated as EUROMART. Activities were directed towards European collaborative programmes on aerother­ modynamics, materials, acoustics, computation, airborne equipment and systems, all-electric aircraft, CAD-CAM/CIM and laminar-flow control, addressing the aircraft, engine and equipment industries. All these programmes are seen in the light of en­ hancing and expanding the technological capabiHties of the European Aeronautics Industry, whilst, at the same time, concentrating on key technology areas.
