CO2 reduction in aeronautics (AIRE project and others)

Reducing gas emissions: the AIRE project

The European Commission and the American Civil Aviation Administration (FAA) initiated in 2007 the AIRE project (Atlantic Initiative to Reduce Emissions). Through a demonstration flight program, this project aims to implement innovative procedures and modern technologies developed by research and development programs launched on both sides of the Atlantic. This environmental issue is accompanied by an economic one since the price of a barrel is increasingly high over the long term.

At European level, within the framework of the Single Sky, performance objectives have been set for FABEC, particularly in terms of respect for the environment

The single European sky

Initiative to Reduce Emissions of Greenhouse Gas in Aviation (AIRE).

The Air Navigation Services Department (DSNA) contributes to all European airspace reorganization work aimed at optimizing air routes and reducing kerosene consumption and therefore gas emissions accordingly. Thus a new network of night routes is gradually being set up in the upper airspace with connections to Switzerland and Germany. In addition, improvements have been made to "city-peer" links deemed to be the most penalizing. The gains obtained are significant for companies using these links, in particular intra-European transverse routes.

the main way to reduce aircraft consumption is that they stay in the air as short as possible

so we would have to increase the number of runways so that the planes can all land without waiting time to go around in circles in the sky, which is unfortunately quite frequent

2nd economic effect of a greater number of runways: the planes being more sure of landing without waiting time will be able to take off with less fuel ... therefore being lighter and consuming less during the whole flight

maybe the reduction of traffic when the fuel is more expensive will avoid waiting without additional track

I have the idea of ​​a century for planes and consumption


A system of the type of aircraft launchers on aircraft carrier, which recharges with the energy of the aircraft that land:
Roughly a piston for example which will absorb the speed of the plane which lands by compressing air and reuse this compressed air in another or the same piston which pushes the plane to take off (it will perhaps allow to revive MDI the key player in airports ).

the energy to launch an aircraft at takeoff speed is derisory compared to what it will consume to climb to its cruising altitude

the energy to launch an aircraft at takeoff speed is derisory compared to what it will consume to climb to its cruising altitude

At the same time the same system to mount it at its altitude I had no idea lol.
But hey, an economy remains an economy!

Ah ah it cogites lasts here !!

Roh ben easy, just stick the runway with the takeoff / landing spring on a mountain and presto the first 2000 m is almost free energy

ps: chatelot16, watch the videos these are tracks that are mentioned ...

The main source of fuel economy ..... is to limit the speed and therefore the power. This niche will be put back on the agenda and see the development of lots of new propeller planes with turboprop.
