My team at AIAA thinks a lot about "stochastic progress" and the Institute's responsibility to collaborate with our members in developing and communicating technical requirements and standards for aerospace innovation. Matthew Clarke from The Grainger College of Engineering led a dynamic discussion about the development of sustainable aircraft technology at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Sustainable Aviation conference on behalf of the Institute, and we'll continue the conversation this summer at AVIATION! AIAA's inaugural Sustainable Aviation Workshop will take place on Monday, July 29th at the 2024 AVIATION Forum.

As the title fittingly suggests, “We Need Everyone on Board To Rapidly Decarbonize Aviation”. I want to thank the National Renewable Energy Laboratory for organizing this event where we (literally) put pen on paper to draft targets that the community must achieve to meet our bold goals of Net Zero emissions by 2050. Having panels is simply not enough; we need to get scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders in one room to hash out a path forward. Some of the high-level takeaways: 1. Sustainable Aviation Fuel: Supply Chains Must Be Systematically Cultivated 2. Electric Aircraft: Certification and Testing Is Critical for Components and Charging Infrastructure 3. Airports: Planners Must Align Accessibility and Mobility Goals With Revenue Generation 4. Energy Infrastructure: Industry Needs Detailed Energy Road Maps That Are Broadly Applicable to Airports of All Size You can read more here https://lnkd.in/gPihME-b.

Looking forward to this!
