During the 40th Session of the ICAO Assembly in 2019, it was highlighted that the synergic application of strategies including technological advancements, market-based measures, and operational improvements is necessary to achieve the aviation sustainability goals [1]. Computational models allow to explore the effectiveness of different […]
This this month, ClimOP took part in the Towards Sustainable Aviation Summit 2022, which was held in Toulouse, France, on October 18th to 20th. The TSAS 2022 addressed both aircraft design and operations perspectives to prepare and shape a more Efficient Global Air Transport System […]
Global aviation and its emissions contribute to anthropogenic impact on climate. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a long-term effect on climate over several decades, with the consequence that the CO2 greenhouse effect is independent of daytime, altitude and weather situation. Unlike non-CO2 emission’s climate impact, CO2 […]
Free routing in high-complexity airspace is one of the operational improvements (OIs) that is evaluated within the ClimOP project. The free routing concept aims to remove the burdens originating from the fixed air traffic service routes and provides an opportunity for flying more efficient routes to […]
Aviation climate effects of non-CO2 emissions depend on location and time of emission. In order to mitigate aviation’s climate effect, the mitigation strategy of climate-optimized trajectories aims to avoid flying through those regions of the atmosphere which are particularly sensitive to aviation emissions (e.g. regions where persistent contrails […]
The Aerospace Research Center (ITU ARC) is a research centre of the Istanbul Technical University aiming to reduce the climate impact of aviation. In 2006, ITU ARC founded the Controls and Avionics Research Group, a team of researchers that focus on topics such as:
Recently, Youmanist interviewed our Project Coordinator Alessandra Tedeschi to know more about how ClimOP is seeking to develop greener aviation procedures. The Italian magazine is a project of BNP Paribas committed to raising awareness about cultural values such as social responsibility, environmental sustainability and […]
