Targeting climate-neutral aviation – how radical is the path? 

With the clear goal of making aviation climate-neutral, we are facing the biggest technological but also operational changes in aviation since the introduction of jet propulsion. We can only master this path if we pool our expertise and strengths. At the 5th symposium of Bauhaus Luftfahrt, renowned experts from science and the aviation industry discussed and demonstrated that a parallel development of alternative energies (sustainable aviation fuels and hydrogen), new aircraft technologies and changes in the operation of the air transport system are necessary in order to achieve the ambitious goal of climate-neutral aviation

Aviation targets beyond Flightpath 2050 

2050 goals have widely stimulated research and development activities in all kind of technology fields. Still, no single technological solution has evolved that may lead aviation towards achieving the environmental targets in 2050. Expanding even beyond 2050 and capturing all major driversof aviation in affecting climate change, this 4th International Bauhaus Luftfahrt Symposium showed radical technologies and concepts to actively impact climate change in a positive way.
