Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After almost fifty years of steady development, the commercial aircraft industry is being forced to change technology and rapidly develop radical new low-emission technologies for commercial aircraft. This is an industry currently estimated to have a “direct value” of around 1000 billion dollars.
These technologies include electric, hybrid-electric, and hydrogen-powered propulsion systems. These technologies require urgent and fundamental research to support this change. These new aircraft are highly integrated, which requires us to cover a wide range of fields, as individual components cannot be designed without full system knowledge. Hence, this is a new and large area of work which, if successful, is capable of providing emission-free air-travel and thereby making a significant contribution to limiting global warming effects.
