This paper provides a synthesis of the new European policy and the European programs regarding European aeronautics industry development and its objectives. For this purpose, the main European documents were analyzed and the results of the main ongoing projects developed under the common initiative Clean Sky, were used in the aeronautical industry. This paper presents the current state of Romanian aeronautical industry and its ability to rise to the European aeronautical industry in order to achieve the EU’s objectives.
