Keynote: Towards Sustainable Aviation

Abstract:

Our aviation industry is now increasingly mobilized to address the key environmental challenges around global warming, while at the same time, our societies expect air transport to remain a key vector for connecting people and cultures.

This presentation will highlight the major Airbus orientations to move towards sustainable aviation, looking at combinations of technology concepts and energy pathways.
