Abstract

As well as improvements in the propulsive efficiency of aircraft (Chapter 23) there are a number of other technological developments, which enable the reduction in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from aviation. Some are ‘tweaks’ to current design methodologies; others involve a more radical approach to aviation, all resulting in significant savings in fuel burn and therefore a reduction of emissions from aviation. This chapter will cover developments in materials, aerodynamics and some more radical options for the reduction of the impact of aviation on climate change.
