AI, ML, and a bunch of other acronyms are everywhere in engineering. No so more in aerospace. From large airlines to small airports, data science has become the […]
Turning Early on Takeoffs
Turning early on takeoffs provides a beeline for GPS markers, reducing time in the air and thereby fuel costs. Here is a short video I made that highlights […]
The Eviation Alice
The Eviation Alice is an electric aircraft that was conceived to be a short haul mainstay. With a proposed range of 450 nm, it could fly from San […]
Virtual Emissions Trackers
Humans are notorious for not being able to visualize large numbers. We maybe can picture 40 items in our mind’s eye, but ten thousand? Not likely. How does […]
PRDs
We love our pilots. And it’s not just passengers, airlines work hard to ensure that their employees are paid well and receive benefits. Furthermore, the FAA has numerous […]
Gliding into the Future
Gliders are often overlooked, for a good reason. They are seen as leisure technology, requiring another aircraft to pull it into the skies. But can gliders be used […]
Higher Altitudes
What’s at higher altitudes? Less air. As you all know, air pressure decreases as height increases. So how can this be applied to sustainable aviation? We can use […]
Are Ultra-Short Haul Flights Worth It?
Ultra-short-haul flights, defined as routes lasting under thirty minutes, represent a unique segment in the aviation industry with distinct challenges and opportunities, particularly in terms of sustainability. These […]
F1 and Sustainable Aviation
The Formula 1 (F1) industry and sustainable aviation share a surprising interconnectedness, driven by pursuit of innovation and efficiency. Both fields rely heavily on cutting-edge technology and engineering […]
The Harms of Hub-and-Spoke
Hub-and-spoke travel, while efficient for airlines in terms of operations, has notable sustainability drawbacks. Airlines such as Emirates rely on this route planning method through their main hub […]
