Sustainable Aviation
Our mission is to lead the field of Sustainable Aviation by developing innovative technologies and solutions that significantly reduce the environmental impact of air travel. Find out how we are aiming to achieve this below.
Sustainable Aviation is a crucial research area dedicated to advancing environmentally friendly technologies in the aviation sector. Our work encompasses a variety of technologies, ranging from applied aerodynamics, lightweight structure, gas turbine design to hydrogen combustion and alternative fuels.
This research is pivotal for reducing the carbon footprint of aviation and achieving long-term sustainability. By improving aerodynamics and turbine efficiency, we can reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Hydrogen combustion and alternative fuels offer promising pathways to cleaner aviation, while net zero propulsion systems, like electric aircraft, represent the future of sustainable flight. By developing and implementing innovative solutions, we aim to transform the aviation industry to be eco-friendlier and more efficient, aligning with global climate and net-zero targets.
