In addition to airports reducing carbon emissions to minimise their impact on climate change, the business case for doing so is growing even stronger. The key driver for airports to reduce their emissions is to maintain their licence to grow and operate, but it also builds on ESG programmes and results in financial savings from energy efficiency. Although offsetting can allow airports to be car…
The most way to reduce the carbon footprint of the existing aircraft fleet is to replace fossil-based kerosene with carbon-neutral fuels. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) is the term used to define hydrocarbon fuels which are not from fossil origin and which compensate for the emitted carbon dioxide through the production/capture of their feedstock, making them fully or partially carbon neutral.
This paper endeavours to provide a comprehensive overview of the current landscape within the aviation industry, with a particular focus on the airport ecosystem stakeholders and their service providers, including ground handlers.
The state of travel and the way people move around the world will change dramatically in the coming decades as global priorities shift and new technologies become available. Airports will be core drivers of industrywide change, while themselves being transformed in the process.Airports are, after all, where air travel journeys begin and end.
This document has the purpose of providing a comprehensive overview of the potential impacts that hydrogen aircraft could have on airports’ infrastructure and operations.
Factors outside of healthcare services determine our health and this involves many different sectors. Health for All Policies changes the argument about intersectoral action, from one focusing on health and the health sector to one based on co-benefits a ‘Health for All Policies’ approach.
The Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook—Airframe (FAA-H-8083-31B) is one of a series of three handbooks forpersons preparing for certification as an airframe or powerplant mechanic. This handbook provides basic information onprinciples, fundamentals, and technical procedures in the subject matter areas relating to the airframe rating.
Despite intense development of computational technologies, achievements in the area of construction of numerical methods and development of commercial and open-source software, improvements of experimental methods, and high-performance computing facilities, the problem of modelling and simulation of turbulence remains one of the most complex and important problems of fluid dynamics.
Aerial robots (ARs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were initially developed for military applications such as surveillance, targeting, and strike missions. As the use of ARs has become more common in other civilian and industrial applications, the need of understanding all the technical elements and systems involved in these aircraft has become more evident for the academic community and th…
World energy demand is likely to increase over the next 20 years, and it is well ascertained that fossil fuels will still be the dominant source for power generation all over the world. In this scenario, gas turbine (GT) engines will still represent a key technology, either in stand-alone applications or combined with other power generation equipment.
