aligned. someone who has played a role in bringing these groups together at the whittle lab is prince charles. the prince is famously interested in green issues and recently visited cambridge to learn about progress in the field of sustainable aviation. that has been a personal sustainable aviation. that has been a personal passion - sustainable aviation. that has been a personal passion of. sustainable aviation. that has. been a personal passion of his, bringing together business leaders, policymakers, technical experts to really advance the conversation around sustainability. sustainability. most of the work here sustainability. most of the work here focuses - sustainability. most of the work here focuses on - sustainability. most of the work here focuses on a . sustainability. most of the i work here focuses on a fossil fuel free future for aviation. trying to achieve net zero carbon emissions for aircraft by 2050. but the lab s latest project is concerned with more than engines
but the labs latest project is concerned with more than engines, fuel and aircraft in general. it is taking a much bigger look at a much bigger picture. to help plan future changes to air travel and aircraft, the team here have created a computer simulation tool called the journey impact simulator. the resources that we need for zero carbon flight are very significant. we will need lots of electricity, we will need potentially lots of land to produce the electricity. so the decisions we make in the aviation sector in how we decarbonise flight, will affect the entire world. this computer simulation gives us an idea of the environmental impact of aviation the amount of c02 generated by flying. we see that using hydrogen or synthetic aviation fuel drastically reduces the amount of c02 generated by aviation. it s down by 55%.
