The zero-emissions aircraft. Sounds like a rather lofty goal, doesn\u2019t it? So what is a zero-emissions aircraft anyway?
Sure, there\u2019s electric propulsion. And then there\u2019s hydrogen. But do we use hydrogen as a combustible fuel or are we talking hydrogen fuel-cell batteries? All of these options show promise, some are further along than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fact is, the aerospace industry is moving towards a cleaner, greener way to fly. Right now, we are making significant progress with biofuels and fuel blends. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) not only helps airlines reduce carbon emissions, but increases fuel efficiency across a variety of aircraft already in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welcome to Season #5 of Talking Aerospace Today<\/em>. In this five-part series we\u2019ll be talking about zero-emissions aircraft \u2013 not just how it applies to urban air mobility vehicles and eVTOLS \u2013 but also how it applies to our more traditional wide- and narrow-body aircraft. This first episode touches on that very topic. We cover a lot of ground and it\u2019s a good introduction into the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Listen to the podcast now.<\/p>\n\n\n
