Clean Aviation

Liquid hydrogen (LH2) may be the promised panacea for aviation’s journey to net-zero, but getting there is going to be tough—particularly for the engine-makers.

Sustainable aviation fuel cuts contrails; MTU progresses fuel cells; medical evacuation drone; and vertical-takeoff-and-landing cargo drone in the UAE.

Demonstrators built under Clean Sky 2, the project’s predecessor, were exhibited at the annual forum as a source of motivation.

CORAC President Yannick Assouad tells Aviation Daily the amount the Airbus ZEROe and ATR EVO programs may benefit from is still being defined.

For Europe’s Clean Aviation public-private aeronautics research program, time is a raison d’etre.

As the Airbus CEO is adamant that hydrogen propulsion is feasible, the Climate Impulse project might do some groundwork for the technology.

Europe’s Clean Sky 2 research program ends in March, having matured an array of potential technologies for Airbus’ next airliner.

Two-thirds of Europe’s Clean Aviation research projects are focused on more sustainable advanced propulsion technologies for service entry in the mid-2030s.

MTU's three-year Herops project under Europe’s Clean Aviation research program aims to demonstrate a 1.2-megawatt propulsion system.

A three-year project to mature technologies for a low-drag strut-braced wing for future ultra-efficient airliners has been kicked off by an ONERA-led team.

Validating the design of the fan blades is the overarching goal of a monthslong campaign at ONERA’s S1MA wind tunnel.

Flying electric on LH2; Clean Aviation adds projects; UK back in EU’s Horizon; and lower-cost e-fuel SAF.

The organization’s new study offers a detailed comparison between alternative sustainable power configurations for an Airbus A380-like airliner.

The High Five Awards were presented during a ceremony at the show's Paris Air Lab, honoring five individuals making strides in aviation sustainability.

As climate concerns grow, at the heart of the controversy is whether business aviation operations are actually for business or leisure.

In Europe’s Clean Aviation project, no funding exists for SAF-related technology—not in aircraft engines or SAF production.
