Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) have been identified as one of the key elements in helping achieve ambitious emissions reduction goals. Governmental support is essential to using sustainable aviation fuels to achieve the industry's climate goals. This webinar episodes seeks to explore the latest SAF policy, outlook, investment opportunities, projects and ambitions.
Alongside the transition to zero emission flight it’s also imperative we accelerate towards environmentally friendly airports. Airports are going green in response to increasing pressure regarding the aviation industry’s environmental impact. Many airports across the world have therefore adopted greener elements into their designs and operation strategies, as well as subscribed to eco-friendly initiatives.
Research into hydrogen as a potential energy carrier to power future zero-emission aircraft has been intensifying in recent years. But the road to hydrogen-powered aircraft requires significant effort inside the aviation industry and beyond. From hydrogen storage, cost and infrastructure to public perceptions about safety, the aviation sector is working to mature the technology while tackling some major challenges.
Bringing together technological innovation such as advanced aerodynamics, materials and propulsion systems have made the supersonic evolution possible. Building a new generation of faster aircraft will offer greater human connection and speed of service. This webinar will explore the current market, future business models, investment opportunities and key challenges that need overcoming to making the new wave of supersonic technology a reality.
Hypersonic flight could advance travel in ways we haven’t seen before. Hypersonic requires immense engineering and logistical challenges to reach velocities above mach-5. This webinar will be exploring hypersonic propulsion concepts, advanced materials for absorbing heat, maintaining safety for passengers and hypersonic engineering advancements alongside future business models and investment opportunities.
The modernisation of Air Traffic Management systems has been driven by digital technology and the need to manage airspace safely and efficiently alongside coping with additional aircraft in the skies. This webinar episode will be exploring applying digital technology to establish a frontier, fluid and integrated mobility system.
Aircraft systems have continued to modernisation aircraft functionality to improve and enhance flying experiences for pilots and passengers. This webinar episode will explore an array of areas such as: Landing Gear and Fuel Systems, Avionics and Flight Control, Electrical Systems, Smart Connectivity, Autonomy, Critical Software Development, High-Performance Modelling Capabilities and Cybersecurity.
Aircraft are becoming more complex and the full potential of new technologies will only be realised through early consideration of their impact at the whole aircraft level. This webinar will explore the latest innovation, ideas and concepts within aircraft: Design, Analysis, Development, Certification and Business Models.
Aircraft development technology has brought exciting capabilities to developing the next generation of aircraft. This webinar will be covering the following: Conceptual Design and Analysis Capability, Modelling Processes and Methods, Physical and Virtual Models, Reducing Cost of Production (Streamlined Engineering, Design, Manufacture, Certification, Process for Upgrades) and Digital Simulation and Modelling Tools.
