SATAVIA

SATAVIA is currently hiring for 2 roles: VP Technology and DevOps Lead, both located in Cambridge, UK. The roles can be found on the GE Aerospace website under Aviation Carbon Solutions & Sustainability. This is an exciting time to join the company - please feel free to reach out with any questions!

"There is no enough" Etihad has just published the 2023 Sustainability Report, or as we dubbed it 'The Etihad Greenliner Programme Aviation Stocktake'. This report, like those that have come in the years before, is an ode to the industry; the million little things that will come together create change, and the legacy of aviation of achieving the impossible. Like all others, it is an honest retelling of this story and a frank assessment of the challenges we are facing. And like all others, it culminates in the message that this is not a journey that should be taken alone. A piece of work which aimed to conduct a stocktake of where the industry stands, aligning to the UN FCCC framework of sustainable development, and using Etihad and the Greenliner Programme as a case study. "The report you are about to read aims to critically assess our performance toward successfully implementing and scaling up the defined ‘basket of measures’ for aviation’s decarbonisation. We’re using ourselves as a case study to determine the real capacity for the swift, just transition needed to go from theory to reality" Thank you to the Greenliner Programme partners which answered the call to arms and contributed to this report, and the tireless work over the years.

Not an everyday occurrence .... Can't think of a better way to have started the week than at NASA Langley Research Center with two flight test aircraft as captured here by Alex Schroff. Congratulations to all teams involved from GE Aerospace, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, SATAVIA, and German Aerospace Center (DLR) on recent flight test efforts to help accelerate the #aviation industry's understanding of contrails. https://lnkd.in/gNDmBraP

Last week, our recently acquired business SATAVIA teamed up with GE Aerospace and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration to participate in the #CODEX (Contrail Optical Depth Experiment) flight campaign. Adam Durant and Greg Thompson joined flight tests to help further the aviation industry’s understanding of contrails, using new test methods and technologies. The NASA Langley Research Center G-III aircraft followed GE Aerospace's 747 Flying Test Bed to scan the wake with LiDAR. The flight test learnings will help SATAVIA – which offers a contrail forecasting and management service – validate and improve its numerical weather prediction capability used to forecast contrail formation in ice super saturated regions (ISSR). Understanding, hands-on, how contrails act in flight is how we move innovation forward for a step change in efficiency and emissions. I am proud we have teamed up with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration to be at the forefront of innovation for the future of flight.

SATAVIA and GE Aerospace are joining forces with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the #CODEX (Contrail Optical Depth Experiment) flight trial campaign that kicked off on monday. NASA Langley Research Center’s G-III aircraft will follow GE Aerospace’s Flying Test Bed in the sky and scan the aircraft wake with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology. This will advance the use of LiDAR by NASA to generate three-dimensional imaging of contrails to better characterize formation and persistence, combined with in situ atmospheric water vapour measurements taken by GE Aerospace (see image with orange window blank showing instrument inlet). During the ferry flight on Saturday from the West to East coast, the Flying Test Bed gathered data to enable further validation of the SATAVIA numerical weather prediction capability. Alongside enhancing contrail science, the flights build on validation work recently published in the scientific journal Atmospheric Research (link in comments). After a successful first day several more flights will take place this week – watch this space for further updates! #NASA #codex #jointheflighttest

Today I am travelling to join GE Aerospace’s Flying Test Bed ahead of the science-led Contrail Optical Depth Experiment (#CODEX). This multi-day flight test campaign will involve a series of unique flight tests to help further the aviation industry’s understanding of contrails, using new test methods and technologies. I’m delighted to be joining the broader GE Aerospace team, and Greg Thompson who leads our #science activities. The flight test learnings will help SATAVIA – which offers a contrail forecasting and management service – validate and improve its numerical weather prediction capability used to forecast contrail formation in ice super saturated regions (ISSR). Want to learn more about #CODEX? Watch this space for more detail and updates in the coming days! #NASA #codex #jointheflighttest [Link to GE Aerospace press release in the comments below]

Science in the sky🧪☁️ Today we announced how we’re partnering with #NASA and DLR on flight tests to accelerate the industry’s understanding of contrails. NASA will harness LiDAR technology to better characterize contrails and we’re leveling up the capabilities of our legendary 747 Flying Test Bed to support new engine development. Together, we’re redefining the future of flight. #JoinTheFlightTest 🦾✈️ Read more 🔗 https://bit.ly/3O7uy1r NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration | German Aerospace Center (DLR) | NASA Langley Research Center #CODEX

We're hiring! SATAVIA (now part of GE Aerospace) is recruiting a Senior DevOps Engineer to aid design, development, and deployment of our DECISIONX product suite, which leverages cutting-edge atmospheric science to manage aviation's non-CO2 climate impact. Based at our HQ in Cambridge, UK, the role centres on implementation of DevOps practices, cloud infrastructure management, and development lifecycle optimisation. Working with cross-functional teams, the new hire will support our mission to make aviation smarter through the application of best-in-class atmospheric modelling. See below for more details of this exciting role at the forefront of industry efforts to tackle non-CO2 climate impact.

In 2021, SATAVIA was selected for the first cohort of the AviationXLab, an incubator program founded by Emirates, GE Aerospace, Airbus and others. As part of Aviation XLab, SATAVIA received mentoring and support on a proof-of-concept project with #Emirates.    Today, they are working operationally with Etihad, supported by the ADQ Growth Lab. And bringing the story full circle, Aerospace Carbon Solutions, a GE Aerospace business, has #acquired SATAVIA. This is such a #proud moment because GE Aerospace and the #UAE have been an important part of SATAVIA’s journey. It is an excellent example of our focus on home-grown innovation across the #aviationecosystem and shows that this region is very much in focus for #GEAerospace and for the industry at large!
