Aviation emissions have doubled since 1990. Although the tightening of standards for aircraft emissions has played a part in this evolution of aircraft fuel efficiency, the main driver for reducing fuel consumption has been economic. As airlines face urgent pressure to cut emissions and costs, innovation in aircraft design and software tools is evolving: 🛩️Companies like NATILUS and JetZero aim to revolutionize efficiency with novel aircraft design. The blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft merges the main body and wings, enhancing lift, reducing aerodynamic drag, and improving fuel efficiency and payload capacity. 💡On the software side, innovators such as OpenAirlines, i6 Group, and StorkJet are leveraging AI and machine learning to analyze flight data and optimize each stage of the flight cycle. From fuel efficiency software and AI aiding compliance with the 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 𝘖𝘧𝘧𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘷𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 and 𝘌𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮, to 𝐁𝐖𝐁 aircrafts nearing commercialization, keep an eye out for innovators pioneering sustainable aviation with infrastructure-compatible solutions.
