With airplanes in the news a lot this year and not for great reasons, let's talk about ways we can improve airplane efficiency to reduce their overall climate impact. Let's face it... Human beings are not going to stop flying. It's become an integral part of global transportation. That said, we definitely can make improvements to the efficiency of aviation and how much it impacts the natural world around us. What types of innovations can help improve airplanes and use less fuel? Watch the video and check out the article from Project Drawdown >>> https://lnkd.in/gEzn5DrV

Turbulence: The Invisible Enemy in the Skies As climate change intensifies and extreme weather becomes more frequent, air travelers and aviation experts alike are asking a crucial question: Is turbulence getting worse? Recent incidents have thrust this issue into the spotlight, leaving passengers white-knuckled and airlines scrambling for solutions. https://lnkd.in/dwEiS8TE

SCARY STATISTIC TIME A Boeing 737-400 travelling at cruising speed, creates 90kg of CO2 per passenger, per hour. Average of 200 passengers per flight with an average of 3 hours in the air. This is equivalent to 54 Tonnes of CO2 per average flight. There are 93,000 commercial flights everyday across the world. This means that EACH DAY, commercial air travel pumps over 5million tonnes of CO2 directly into the atmosphere where it takes 3 times longer to dissipate than at ground level. To put that into context what is equivalent to 5million tonnes of CO2; An average American coal-fired power plant produces in a year. The CO2 output of half a million homes in a year. I personally haven't travelled by plane since 2019. #co2emissions #airplanes #sustainability #savetheplanet

This is a great video about air turbulence effects in aircraft, and the best thing a passenger can do - wear their seatbelt. And not one mention of 'climate change'. :) https://lnkd.in/gKQ9BFyH

Several #hybridelectric #aircraft are nearing commercial production, perhaps changing the economics of regional, short-haul, and air taxi services. Here's a look at what makes these unique, and eminently practical, aircraft tick. https://bit.ly/3vzpT2r

Chief Engineer at Vashon Aircraft, Aircraft Designs & Configurations, Independent Aircraft Loads Consultant
Is the Lithium Ion Battery a solution for today EVs within General Aviation (GA)? you need 70 lbs. fuel vs. 730 lbs. lithium-Ion battery to fly 3000 lbs. airplane for one hour. If the airplane's useful load in only 1200 lbs., you leave 660 lbs. of payload or passengers behind. What is the point of battery powered airplanes? Cleaner Air? Is GA a source of pollution at this point of time? Or is it cost of fuel? 10 min fill up vs. 8 hr. charge time, when airplanes are designed to make money as long as they are flying. GA really needs to rethink the electric powered airplanes at this point. https://lnkd.in/gHTvXJum

Consider ferrying at or above 1,000 feet to avoid lower-altitude air traffic and obstacles; Turning turbine ag airplanes commonly reach 600-700 feet. Also, consider equipping your ag aircraft with ADS-B In to inform other equipped aircraft of your location. Read more about higher ferrying altitudes in today's Fly Safe at: https://lnkd.in/gNQ5Zn_d
