A sustainable post-pandemic future for aerospace

Opinion | BY LUIS RODRIGUES | April 5, 2021
The post-pandemic aerospace industry seems to be geared toward a more sustainable solution for transportation of goods and passengers and to safer airspace regulations to accommodate both manned and unmanned aircraft. This is a promising path to the future, writes Luis Rodrigues. Image courtesy of Pexels/Alexander Podvalny

Around the world, airlines are working to manage a tricky-trade-off: fuel consumption versus flight time. To consume less fuel, the airplane has to go slower—but that means flying longer. Flying faster shortens the flight time, but the undesirable side effects are increased fuel consumption and a corresponding increase in emissions to the atmosphere. Photograph by Wikipedia
