With the aviation industry struggling with how to achieve ambitious sustainability goals, the path remains forward and multiple. The challenge is not limited to reducing emissions and reducing the environmental footprint of the industry; It is also related to doing this in the face of expected rapid growth in air traffic, increasing the number of aircraft, and advanced use patterns.
It has been suggested that the solution is likely to be a set of factors: new energy sources and hybrid technologies are all important ingredients.
Aircraft construction, progress in air dynamics, and improving air traffic control systems and ground infrastructure systems are scheduled to play important roles. Digital technologies, including predictive maintenance and improving the best path, are necessary in enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
There is a significant investment in new materials, air dynamics and digital technologies, all of which aim to accelerate the design and production of the next generation of aircraft. Although the life of the useful plane extends over 30 to 40 years, much of what will form the industry in 2030 already works with the current fleet and orders.
This is why the improvements are short -term, especially in the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), it is very important. The industry needs to see a huge increase in the use of SAF-perhaps by 50-60 percent annually-to achieve the ambitious goals set in 2030 and 2050.
“SAF Fuel (SAF) is likely to be a major part of the short -term solution to reduce carbon fingerprint in the aviation industry. However, there are great challenges, especially in the bottleneck and infrastructure needed on the ground to store and supply SAF on aircraft,“ Stephane Lagut Lagut, Ey Global Advanced Affairs Level and Ey Global Pervace, classified.
“While the vast majority of current aircraft engines can accommodate SAF, their actual use remains very low – less than 1 percent, if we check the numbers.
“This low use represents an opportunity, which makes SAF” a low suspended fruit “for immediate effect. But outside the fuel itself, how it is used is very important.
“Improving operations on Earth and in the air will play an important role in making the industry more sustainable.”
Driving for delivery
The cost of failure in achieving sustainability will be important for any company in the value chain.
“The death penalty” may not be the immediate, but it can have severe consequences in the short term.
“In many judicial states, especially in the European Union, achieving these goals has become the right to work.”
“Increased time in the air, improving fuel availability, and expecting maintenance needs, all are necessary to maintain aircraft in the air longer and enhance customer satisfaction.
“This includes the design of effective airlines, and in some cases, it fly slower to ensure better openings for access and access, which can reduce fuel consumption and reduce delay due to air traffic congestion. These improvements do not provide only additional margins and benefits to airlines but also contribute to a positive cycle of efficiency and profitability.
“Companies that fail to meet sustainability standards may fight to qualify for loans, as financial institutions give priority to green initiatives.
“This access to capital, along with improving the best fleet, reducing fuel consumption, and high customer satisfaction, will eventually lead to a better profitability. This will distinguish the winners of the losers in the industry.”
Critical cooperation
Cooperation is crucial in the logistical services industry and the supply chain. It is impossible to connect the goods without strength And close coordination.
Environmental factors will affect aircraft maintenance, durability, general performance. For adaptation, all stakeholders – motors manufacturers, plane structure designers and airlines – work to work together to develop better designs, identify appropriate materials, and improve air dynamics to suit these changing conditions.
Moreover, with the expansion of the world fleet over the next twenty to 30 years, especially in regions such as the Middle East and Asia where weather conditions are more extremist compared to Europe or North America, new requirements for materials and maintenance will appear. The plane will need its design to carry these harsh environments, including higher altitudes and different atmosphere conditions.
“Cooperation between airlines, integration, engine manufacturers, fuel producers, and infrastructure managers on the ground are extremely important.”
It highlights the possibility of a virtuous course of the strongest cooperation in the supply chain and the broader value chain for the space industry.
“Progress in the aviation industry is often seen as very slow by some, but all concerned are working hard to accelerate progress as possible. All participants in the industry realize the need for cooperation, innovation and efficiency – necessary to survive.
“We are witnessing an acceleration in manufacturing operations, despite some bottlenecks, as everyone seeks to take advantage of opportunities and push innovation forward.
