German aerospace center DLR and Deutsche Aircraft have conducted the first measurements of emissions from a turboprop aircraft powered by 100% synthetic fuel.
Sustainable aviation fuel cuts contrails; MTU progresses fuel cells; medical evacuation drone; and vertical-takeoff-and-landing cargo drone in the UAE.
Distributed-propulsion testbed flies; Airbus hydrogen APU demo; uncrewed delivery corridor; another Chinese eVTOL; and Wright’s megawatt-scale electric engine.
The effort is based on the prospect that lunar resources can be mined and processed into construction materials at a lower cost than launching them from Earth.
Two-thirds of Europe’s Clean Aviation research projects are focused on more sustainable advanced propulsion technologies for service entry in the mid-2030s.
Carbon cycle benefits of SAF are known, but will it help reduce the formation of persistent contrails? A Boeing and NASA flight test looks to find out.
German aerospace center DLR has taken delivery of a Dornier 328-100 modified by Deutsche Aircraft to be a flying testbed for sustainable aviation technologies.
A study by German aerospace center DLR also shows that further reductions in climate impact are possible by switching to hydrogen as an aviation energy source.
