Sustainable development – the key for green aviation
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The aviation industry has always been seeking the technological progress that will optimise the economic, operational and environmental way of flying. In the first part of this study the author describes the impact of the CO2 emissions on the climate change. Also, the author emphasises the fact that once again the aviation environment is asking for new breakthroughs to face the challenge of the aviation’s sustainable growth. Airbus and its approach with the least possible impact on environment are introduced in the last part of this paper. Additionally, the environmental way of greener aviation is illustrated by examples of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measurements made for several selected airlines.

Antithermal shield for rockets with heat evacuation by infrared radiation reflection
At high speed, the friction between the air mass and the rocket surface causes a local heating of over 1000 Celsius degrees. For the heat protection of the rocket, on its outside surface thermal shields are installed. S...
