✈️ “You can make a great sustainable airplane. But if there’s no airfield where it can get its fuel, because it’s hydrogen, and if it can’t land, then it won’t be used. You’ve created a museum piece. You have to address the entire system.” 📽️ What does it take to achieve sustainable aviation?

To make airtransport sustainable, much more is needed then a great sustainable airplane. It is the whole system that needs to go into transition, fuel logistics, airports, even passenger behavior are involved. And this can only be achieved through facilitating collaboration. Great insights through below video! ⬇️

🔍 #AviationTrends 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: Aviation is facing a pivotal challenge. This challenge is fundamentally technological and environmental, with the social, economic, and political aspects playing also important roles. "The discussion revolves around which (and to what extent) new upcoming technologies can help aviation to become more sustainable and energy efficient", explains Juan Muzio, Lead Trend Monitor at #BauhausLuftfahrt. 👉 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸: https://lnkd.in/ehZrU_eg #FutureOfFlight #SustainableAviation #ClimateGoals

👇 I really recommend listening/watching in to Dan Rutherford speak in half an hour (or watching the recording of this event after) as he's one of the most knowledgeable and experienced people I know working on #SustainableAviation:

Exciting news for the future of air travel! A groundbreaking study by Swedish scientists suggests that most flights within a 750-mile radius could be powered by hydrogen by 2045. This development could revolutionize the aviation industry, making it cleaner and more sustainable. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a game-changing heat exchanger for hydrogen-powered aircraft. This innovative technology transfers heat between supercool hydrogen and the engine, boosting fuel efficiency and range. Associate Professor Carlos Xisto highlighted, "Every degree increase in temperature reduces fuel consumption and increases range," promising more efficient flights and potentially lower costs for travelers. The most exciting part? The first commercial hydrogen flights could take off in Sweden as early as 2028. With this technology on the horizon, we're moving towards a future where air travel and environmental responsibility align. 🌟✈️ #FutureOfFlight #HydrogenPower #SustainableTravel

The Single European Sky initiative holds promise in potentially slashing aviation emissions by up to 10%. By focusing on key objectives and employing innovative mechanisms, the initiative seeks to revamp airspace design and enhance traffic management systems, thereby fostering significant reductions in emissions. However, as with any ambitious endeavor, it faces a spectrum of challenges and opportunities. Yet, its successful implementation is poised to resonate across the aviation sector, catalyzing broader advancements in environmental sustainability.

I am still not used to seeing me in a video ;-) but here's my message anyway: the D328eco is the down-to-Earth (=realistic in a few years) response to aviation's climate challenge: it will be compatible with the most sustainable fuels (even 100% non-drop-in PtL based on renewable energy and Direct Air Capture). CO2 emissions can thus be reduced by up to 95%, and scientists also expect significant potential to reduce contrail impact. But let's not forget another point: all alternative fuels require a lot of energy to be produced. So, minimising the energy need of an aircraft remains of utmost importance: good to have inherently super-efficient turboprop engines. Low energy demand ~ low fuel burn ~ low energy demand for fuel production ~ low climate impact ~ low cost

Can we transform aviation into a more sustainable industry without compromising efficiency and economic viability? This question is at the heart of our mission at Unified International. Michel van Ierland shares insights on Unified's role in evaluating and implementing sustainable aviation technologies, emphasising collaboration and innovation for a greener future in the industry.

After months of hard work the Clean Aviation #2023Highlights are finally online 🚀💫 🔎 What have been the most successful achievements of #CleanSky2? How ambitious are the projects of Clean Aviation? How has our valuable network expanded in the last year? To many of us these results speak as feelings of success and personal gratification 💖 however, the figures in this publication will certainly highlight to everyone else how far we got 😉 #Research #Innovation
