The Clean Aviation Annual Forum in Brussels in March 2024 marked the conclusion of the European aviation research programme Clean Sky 2 (2013-2024) and its continuation under the title Clean Aviation. Over the past ten years, industry and research partners, including the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), have conducted intensive research into climate-friendly air transport technologies in a wide range of projects as part of Clean Sky 2. By the end of this year, the programme will have brought together almost 1000 companies from all over Europe in high-tech projects, and delivered more than 100 demonstrators and over 1000 innovative technologies. https://lnkd.in/dp5vaBYN #EASA #DGAC #FAA #DAC #CleanSky #DLR #Aviation #PartEASA #navigation

How Can #HydrogenFuelCells Transform Aviation's Environmental Impact? Hydrogen has emerged as a promising contender for mitigating aviation's carbon footprint, thanks to its high energy density and zero-emission potential. Fuel cells convert #hydrogenandoxygen into electricity with water vapor as the only byproduct. Current research focuses on improving the efficacy, durability, and efficiency of these systems to meet aviation's stringent operational demands.

In April 2023, the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) welcomed the launch of Sustainable Aviation's (SA) updated Net Zero Carbon Road-Map. This outlined how UK aviation can continue to grow while still meeting the sector's 2050 Net Zero commitments. A follow-up Technical Report released in June provides further rationale, assumptions and data utilised to compile the Road-Map. This report not only explains the depth of evidence behind this publication but also raises the importance of long-term investment in next-generation flight technology. ATI Head of Technology – Sustainability and Strategy, Adam Morton noted how this sector endorsement reflects the essential role of UK, home-grown aircraft technologies alongside better fuels, improved aircraft operations and deployment of carbon removal. 📔 Read the Sustainable Aviation Technical Report here: https://lnkd.in/eAc6vu6N #sustainability #netzero #netzerocarbon #aviation #aerospace

A recent study, ECLIF3, showed that using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) significantly reduces soot particles and contrail ice crystals compared to conventional jet fuel. Conducted by Airbus, Rolls-Royce, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and Neste, the study found a 56% reduction in ice crystals, which could lessen the climate-warming effects of contrails. Experts from Neste, DLR, Airbus, and Rolls-Royce highlighted SAF's critical role in mitigating aviation's climate impact and advancing towards net-zero #CO2 emissions. Previous research also supports the benefits of #SAF, with studies showing a 50% blend can reduce ice crystal contrails by up to 70%. 🍃 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/en6cSsXW

How Are Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft Revolutionizing #ZeroEmissionAviation? Hydrogen-powered aircraft represent a promising leap towards zero-emission aviation. By using hydrogen as fuel, these planes—whether through combustion or fuel cells—produce only heat and water, thus eliminating #greenhouse gas emissions. With ongoing research addressing #hydrogenstorage, safety, and costs, the aviation sector is poised to embrace this clean energy solution for a sustainable future.

The aeronautical industry faces the challenge of reducing its environmental impact and complying with the commitments to mitigate climate change. At the same time, it must ensure the safety and reliability of its products, especially in the face of critical events such as fan blade out (FBO). To address these challenges, GE Aviation and Safran launched in June 2021 the RISE program (Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines), which aims to develop the next generation of more efficient and eco-friendly aircraft engines. The RISE program aims to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by more than 20% compared to current engines, as well as to ensure compatibility with alternative energy sources such as sustainable aviation fuels or hydrogen. To achieve this, the RISE program includes several technological innovations, among which the open fan architecture stands out, which allows capturing more air from the outside and reducing the load on the combustion core. This configuration also offers greater resistance and stability against possible impacts of birds or foreign objects. Another novelty of the RISE program is the incorporation of a hybrid-electric capability, which would allow optimizing the performance of the engine in different phases of the flight and reducing the noise. In addition, the RISE program considers the possibility of using hydrogen as fuel, which would imply a drastic reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The RISE program intends to demonstrate and mature these new technologies by 2025, through ground and flight tests, and have the new engine ready for entry into service by the mid-2030s, and represents a bet for sustainability and safety in aviation, which will benefit manufacturers, airlines and passengers

The results of a European study into the impact of a widebody jet flown with 100% sustainable aviation fuel show a substantial 56% reduction in the number of contrail ice crystals produced by unblended SAF compared to Jet A-1 fuel, reports Tony Harrington for GreenAir News. The project, involving Airbus, Rolls-Royce, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and SAF producer Neste, was the third stage of the Emission and Climate Impact of Alternative Fuels (#ECLIF) programme, with in-flight and ground emissions tests taking place in 2021. They worked together to quantify the reduction in engine soot particles produced by a Rolls-Royce powered Airbus A350 fuelled by Neste and trailed by a DLR research aircraft. In certain weather conditions, airborne vapour freezes around soot particles emitted by aircraft engines, creating cloudy canopies of ice crystals which can trap heat in the atmosphere. #sustainableaviation #sustainableaviationfuel #aviationnonco2 Mark Pilling Christiane Voigt Hartwig Hagena Mark Bentall Alexander Kueper Alan Newby Philippe Gmerek Falk Dambowsky Heiko Stolzke Matteo Mirolo Florian Allroggen Steven Barrett Vincent de Haes Carlos López de la Osa Dimitar Nikov Marc Shapiro Jason Taylor Estuaire Jonathon Counsell Adam Durant International Air Transport Association (IATA) Marie Owens Thomsen Jill Blickstein Andrew Chen Dr. Alejandro Block Hemant Mistry Sarah Wilkin Roger Gardner https://lnkd.in/eD357-ap
