  1. Unlocking greater near-term efficiency, while transitioning to the next generation of planes“There is no quick fix” Joris Melkert Faculty of Aerospace Engineering

  2. Spot the differences 1967 1987 2017 Sources: airliners.net, @zhangmx969, ShiminGu

  3. Content • Snowball effect in aviation • Developments so far • Electric aircraft • Alternative fuels • New configurations • Conclusion

  4. Snowball effect in aviation 1 kg more mass -> 1 kg more lift required lift is not for free - > more aerodynamic drag more drag -> more thrust more thrust -> bigger engines -> more fuel } -> more mass

  5. Developments so far – fuel consumption

  22. Alternative fuels Is hydrogen an option? Yes, you can use hydrogen in jet engines. But you will need some modifications. A better alternative would be to make use of hydrogen fuel cells and electric motors. Source: Olivier Cleynen

  38. Conclusions There is no quick fix We need more research and development + We replace old aircraft sooner (fleet renewal) + We need to look into alternative “drop-in” fuels + We need better procedures (climate optimized routing) + We need to compensate (CORSIA and beyond) + We need stronger incentives (legislation + societal pressure) + We need to limit the growth, preferably reduce soon
