Sustainability works to reshape the aviation industry, which causes innovations that reduce environmental impact while maintaining efficiency and ability to withstand costs. Airlines and manufacturers are exposed to increasing pressure to meet the tougher regulations and customer expectations for more sustainable solutions. This batch has led to fuel -saving technologies, sustainable flying fuel (SAF), and carbon reducing initiatives, which helps the industry compatible with the global climate goals. At the heart of this transition, there are innovations such as SAF integration and electrical hybrid technologies, which are a large key to emissions and fuel consumption.
“ATR is obligated to be a major player in making aviation more environmentally responsibility, while maintaining the ability to withstand costs and thus the totalitarian flight of regional aviation,” Nicholas Granner, head of public affairs and sustainability.
“Our focus has always been on the design of the fuel -saving turbine that produces less emissions. By offering aircraft that consume up to 45 percent of fuel from the similar regional aircraft, we help reduce carbon fingerprint from regional aviation.”
“ATR 72-600F, our dedicated charging, capable of carrying 75 cubic meters and nine tons of net load, plays an important role in reducing the environmental impact of e-commerce operations. Like passenger variable, it provides a great efficiency in fuel consumption, which helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in regional shipping services. In addition, it provides converting passenger aircraft to shipping a sustainable method To extend their lives, support the increasing demand for e -commerce and logistics.
Multi -use effect and low
Currently, the ATR plane is recognized as a less -emitted regional aircraft. The newly accredited PW127XT engine is not only 3 percent, but also reduces maintenance costs by 20 percent compared to its predecessor. This means that it produces emissions only in 69 grams of carbon dioxide per seat per kilometer on the course of 300 nautical miles.
In the United States, the potential shift from regional aircraft can lead to road turbines to up to 500 nautical miles to a significant decrease of 28 percent in carbon dioxide emissions-and high to 4.6 million tons annually, or carbon fingerprint with a million gasoline. This represents a great opportunity to reduce emissions within the aviation sector, and benefits from already approved aircraft for operation.
We constantly create to improve fuel efficiency. Our progress includes engine technology promotions, aerodynamic improvements, and light materials, “Granner pledge.” For example, the new generation fans and highly efficient Parttt & Whitney engines are designed to increase performance to the maximum with a reducing fuel consumption. The PW127XT engine, which provides a 3 % decrease in burning fuel and reducing maintenance costs by 20 percent, explains our commitment to these developments. In parallel, we also provide our customers with recommendations on how to optimize their aircraft and make additional gains through careful planning, implementation and performance monitoring. Recommendations address all stages, from flying planning to maintenance tasks, which provide an opportunity to improve fuel.
Sustainable commitment
The next step is to achieve 100 percent SAF compatibility for ATR aircraft – a similar hope that other manufacturers share. Technology is ready, and manufacturers are waiting for the authenticity of the international fuel standard.
At the beginning of the next decade, ATR aims to reduce emissions further through moderate hybridization and fan techniques enhanced by its concept ATR EVO.
The plan expects to renew the payment system with an electric hybrid capacity, new fans, and an improved cabin, all of which will be designed environmentally, and aims to a 20 percent decrease in carbon dioxide emissions compared to the current plane.
“SAF is necessary to cut carbon emissions in flying, and ATR is completely committed to its support,” Granner stated. “Today, all ATR aircraft have been adopted to work with up to 50 percent of SAF, and we expect SAF to comply with 100 percent during the second half of the contract. We have already traveled by 100 percent of SAF, including a successful flight in June 2022, where we became the first to fly a business using SAF 100 percent in both engines.
“With regard to our operations, ATR is increasingly committed to using SAF. In 2023, we used 10 percent of SAF on average on our internal trips and target 16 percent in 2024.”
Call in the heart
Sustainability extends beyond emissions; It also includes communication. ATR aircraft are necessary to connect remote communities, providing decisive access to health care, education and employment. It is worth noting that a third of the 3900 commercial world airport in the world is presented exclusively by turbocharged aircraft, which confirms its role in ensuring that the youngest societies are part of a related world.
ATR believes that the turbines will play an increasingly important role in the future of regional aviation, simply because these aircraft at short distances prove to be the most efficient, providing great advantages in fuel efficiency. On these shorter distances, these aircraft consume up to 45 percent of fuel from similar regional aircraft.
Using smaller airports and shorter corridors, these aircraft also help reduce the infrastructure fingerprint and provide less noise levels, with much lower than ICAO criteria, which contributes to a more quieter and more sustainable regional flight experience.
“For the same level of payment, turbine needs a lower main power of the engine compared to a jet engine thanks to the use of a larger fan for a larger fan for a classic jet engine,” explained Granner. “The overall efficiency of the payment is higher, thus reducing fuel consumption. In addition to low fuel consumption, our turbines work at low altitudes, where the composition of Contrail is very rare, which reduces the environmental impact.”
