Climate change and flying: what share of global CO2 emissions come from aviation?
How much of a role does aviation play in global emissions and climate change? In this article we take a look at the key numbers that are useful to know.
How airlines are racing to curb rising carbon emissions
Airlines remain in survival mode as governments continue to restrict air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, with vaccine developments and deployment, those in the sector are hopeful there won't be too much more turbulence before more planes and passengers are able to return to the sky.

Post-pandemic, one of the biggest headwinds facing the industry is finding a way to reduce the carbon emissions produced by flying thousands of jets every day. It's not only an obstacle for the aviation sector but one of the biggest challenges for the world's efforts to combat climate change.

Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft by Pascal Thalin
Call Number: E-Book
ISBN: 9780768093223
Publication Date: 2018-12-18
Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft was developed to explain what the electric aircraft stands for by offering an objective view of what can be expected from the giant strides in innovative architectures and technologies enabling aircraft electrification. Through tangible case studies, a deep insight is provided into this paradigm shift cutting across various aircraft segments - from General Aviation to Large Aircraft. Addressing design constraints and timelines foreseen to reach acceptable performance and maturity levels, Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft puts forward a general view of the progress made to date and what to expect in the years to come. Drawing from the expertise of four industry veterans, Pascal Thalin (editor), Ravi Rajamani, Jean-Charles Mare and Sven Taubert (contributors), it addresses futuristic approaches but does not depart too far from the operational down-to-earth realities of everyday business. Fundamentals of Electric Aircraft also offers analyses on how performance enhancements and fuel burn savings may bring more value for money as long as new electric technologies deliver on their promises.
