During the entire life cycle of an aircraft, the cabin and its operations represent roughly 10-20% of its overall environmental footprint. Given this ...

As production ramps up, hiring is now a major concern. Improved production techniques should help on-time delivery and quality.

Tools created to save ailing suppliers, such as a dedicated investment fund, are becoming permanent.

“Superconducting technologies have fuelled some of the greatest discoveries in high-energy physics and, if applied to aircraft power distribution systems, would drastically reduce their weight and increase their efficiency. Click to read more...

Work to be done: aviation still overwhelmingly male

Today, CERN and Airbus UpNext, a wholly owned subsidiary of Airbus, have launched an innovative collaboration to explore the potential use of superconducting technologies developed by CERN for particle accelerators in the electrical distribution systems of future hydrogen-powered aircraft. Superconducting technologies could drastically reduce the weight of next-generation aircraft and increase their efficiency.

It is a first step of a long term collaboration that will pave the way to superconducting power distribution for aircraft.
