A ZERO-CARBON FUTURE FOR AVIATION
Friday 1st October, 10-11am.
Katy Milne, Head of Industrial Strategy, FlyZero
Led by the Aerospace Technology Institute and backed by the UK Government, FlyZero is a one-of-a-kind research project aiming to realise zero-carbon emission commercial aviation by the end of the decade. Katy will provide an introduction to FlyZero and a look at the technologies that will propel the next generation of aircraft into our skies and the opportunity this presents for the UK aerospace sector.
Alejandro Block Novelo, Senior Technologist – Strategy & Integration, Aerospace Technology Institute
Hydrogen may be part of the solution for eliminating aviation CO2 emissions. But it will take manufacturers several years to deliver a hydrogen-powered commercial aircraft. Equally, it will take time for airports to prepare to host them, and for the economy to provide the huge quantities of zero-carbon energy needed to make the low-carbon hydrogen. Alejandro will outline a new report from the ATI, produced as part of a strategic partnership with Airports Council International (ACI), on the integration of hydrogen aircraft into the air transport system.
