Aerospace companies, centres of expertise, manufacturing industry, sector organisations and unions presented their joint vision of the future of aviation today. Through ten concrete commitments, we are playing our part in creating a future-proof aviation sector for all Dutch people. Together with the Dutch people, political circles, partners and sector players, the thirty-one parties are aiming to use these commitments as the foundations for creating a common action agenda for making Dutch aviation cleaner, quieter and more robust. Following on from that, the Dutch aerospace manufacturing industry has produced further details of one of the commitments.

To reduce the impact of aviation on the climate, the aviation industry needs to develop solutions that drastically reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Hybrid electric flight is one of the cornerstones of our progress towards sustainable aviation. However, the significantly increased electric power levels associated with having electric propulsion on board yield both thermal and electromagnetic challenges.

NLR has completed the European research project on non-CO2 climate effects of aviation. This endeavor has yielded a large number of recommendations aimed at increasing the likelihood for stakeholders to implement operational improvements targeting the comprehensive climate impact of aviation. However, achieving voluntary implementation of these improvements by stakeholders presents challenges.

It’s far from unknown for peak crowding at airports to hit the headlines. And it’s not only the passengers who are stuck in queues: it’s busy in the air too. That’s why the ITARO project has bundled various solutions together to reduce the delays for flights, including gains that can be made in terms of noise nuisance and emissions.
