I believe sustainable aviation is making significant strides, especially with the advancements in alternatives like eVTOLs, battery-electric flight, and hydrogen power cells. However, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) stands out to me as the most viable solution for reducing aviation's climate impact. It's encouraging to see industry leaders advocating for increased investment and clearer regulations to support these technologies. For instance, German aviation leaders are currently investigating what 100% SAF framework could look like - what regulations need to be in place, as well as how technology and supply chains will transform. As we navigate this transition, it's clear that there's no single solution. Achieving net-zero emissions in aviation will require a combination of innovative approaches, and I'm optimistic that we're on the right path. It's inspiring to witness the collective effort and determination across the industry to make sustainable aviation a reality. #aviation #sustainability #aviationindustry

The Challenge and Promise of Achieving Net-Zero Emissions in Aviation The aviation industry is on a mission to achieve net-zero carbon emissions, a challenging yet crucial goal. Innovations in aircraft design, alternative fuels, and operational efficiencies are at the forefront of this effort. My recent involvement in a project exploring synthetic fuels has opened my eyes to the possibilities and hurdles ahead. What steps do you believe are essential for the aviation industry to reach this ambitious goal? . . #NetZeroAviation #SustainableFlight #AlternativeFuels #AviationGoals #EcoFriendlyAviation

LYGG has signed for up to 200 Ampaire hybrid-electric propulsion units. The rollout will begin by upgrading engines for Cessna Grand Caravans, and expand to larger aircraft across the regional fleet. Ampaire’s AMP Drive™ hybrid-electric powertrain combines a fuel-efficient engine with electric propulsion, optimizing fuel savings and reducing emissions by up to 50 %. Additionally, as the system is fully compatible with SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), further emission reductions can be achieved. At Ampaire, our mission is to make sustainable aviation accessible and practical for operators today, not in some distant future. This partnership with LYGG allows us to bring our hybrid-electric technology to underserved regions, proving that cleaner, lower cost, more efficient aviation is within reach, starting now. https://lnkd.in/dZSyadpp

Moving towards our goal to achieve 100% SAF by 2030, we have great news to share. An Airbus A350 powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines using 100% sustainable aviation fuel shows significant non-CO2 emission reductions. In-flight measurements from an A350 aircraft using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) show a significant reduction in soot particle emissions and formation of contrail ice crystals compared to using conventional aviation fuel Global model simulations estimate 26% reduction in contrails' climate impact when using 100% SAF Find out more here. https://lnkd.in/eg_A2KmR #teamairbus #airbus #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #sustainableaviation #sustainaviationfuel #saf #A350 #longrangeleader #widebodyaircraft #nextgen #trentxwb #rollsroyce

Myth:  Electric Aviation is only a long-term solution Reality: At Dovetail Electric Aviation, we are proving that electric aviation is not just a future concept but a present reality. Our mission is to certify a 100% electric aircraft within the next two years, demonstrating our commitment to making real, impactful changes now. We prioritize integrating advanced technologies into existing aircrafts to accelerate the transition to zero-emission flights. Our focus is on delivering commercially viable, nil-emissions aviation solutions through simple aircraft modifications. This approach allows us to quickly scale up production and have the biggest impact in the shortest time possible. Starting with battery electric solutions, we are following a clear certification path, initiated with CASA in Australia and EASA in Europe. This enables us to bring zero-emission products to market faster than hydrogen alternatives. However, we are also preparing for the future by integrating hydrogen fuel cells into our powertrains, ensuring we remain at the forefront of clean aviation technology. We make it nil emissions. We make it economically viable. Wake it fast. True Zero Emission. This is the way. #ElectricAviation #SustainableFlight #ZeroEmissions #DovetailElectricAviation #GreenTechnology #AviationInnovation #FutureOfFlight #HydrogenFuelCells #BatteryElectric #RetrofitRevolution #CleanAviation #AviationSustainability

Results from the world’s first in-flight study of the impact of using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) on both engines of a commercial aircraft show a reduction in soot particles and formation of contrail ice crystals compared to using conventional Jet A-1 fuel.

🤔 Monday Thought Experiment: The Future of Aviation Imagine it's 2030. You're at an airport, about to board a commercial flight. The striking difference? The familiar roar of jet engines has been replaced by the quiet hum of electric propulsion. Our eJet technology is already pushing the boundaries of what's possible in aviation, achieving an unprecedented thrust-to-weight ratio of 5:1 and operational capabilities at 35,000+ feet. But we're curious about YOUR perspective: 💭 Question of the Day: What aspect of the passenger experience would change most dramatically with the shift to electric aircraft? Is it: *The reduced noise levels during takeoff and landing? *The potential for new airport designs and locations? *The environmental peace of mind? *Something we haven't considered? Share your insights in the comments below! Your perspective helps shape the future of sustainable aviation. 👇 We’re always deeply honored and grateful for the recognition Duxion receives. Last year, we had the privilege of being named Canada’s top Aviation Solutions Provider for 2023.

A great milestone is reached. Rolls Royce, Director Research & Technology, Alan Newby said: "Using (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) SAF at high blend ratios will form a key part of aviation's journey to net zero CO2. Not only did these tests show that our Trent XWB-84 engine can run on 100% SAF, but the results also show how additional value can be unlocked from SAF through reducing non-CO2 climate effects as well”.
