What have been the trends in aviation emissions? |
|||||
 |
Technological advancement has reduced aircraft fuel consumption and emissions significantly over the last 30 years and this is expected to continue in the future. The industry’s historical transition from piston engines to modern high-bypass turbofans resulted in major advancements in energy efficiency and environmental performance. During this same era, the industry developed and deployed new, lightweight, high-strength materials, automated navigational, operational, and engine control systems, and employed vast new computational capabilities to improve aerodynamic efficiency and integrate highly complex operational strategies.
