Its QueSST plane research, for instance, is being conducted to see if we can’t bring back civilian supersonic flight. 1 photo
But there’s another project in the works, one called Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC). Its goal is the create a new generation of turbofan aircraft engines that can achieve up to four times the power extraction levels of today’s top engines, while at the same time burning up to 10 percent less fuel.
(Environmental and Energy Study Institute) Briefing Series: By Air, Land, and Sea: Navigating the Climate Future The
Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a briefing series on climate mitigation and adaptation in the transportation sector. The series covered ports, aviation, and public transit.
As commercial aviation recovers from the COVID-19 contraction, it will be critical to foster strategies and policy to help the industry reduce its climate impact. In this briefing, we examined two of these strategies sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and aircraft technology improvements.
Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA) delivered opening remarks.
Chris Tindal of the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) addressed the potential of low-carbon sustainable aviation fuels with life-cycle emissions substantially below conventional fossil-based jet fuel and the policy formula for scaling up the SAF industry.
