Since 2011 the two companies have been committed to producing the world’s first jet fuel derived from waste industrial gases from steel mills via a fermentation process.
In a bid to give wings to its vision of eco-friendly aircrafts, NASA is all set to launch a set of five research projects. These projects are aimed at shrinking fuel use, reducing aviation's impact on the environment and quieting noise around airports.
The green airplane of the future will tackle some of aviation’s biggest environmental challenges including fuel efficiency, noise and plane washing.
Airplanes are a great convenience to society but not to the environment. Luckily, NASA is constructing an electric airplane designed to be more efficient and quiet.
Solar Impulse 2, the solar-powered plane circling the world, is set to depart from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Monday morning and begin its flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
NASA is often synonymous with space missions but the agency works just as hard at improving aeronautics, making planes faster, cleaner and more secure.
U of T engineers are researching technologies like lightweight materials and flow control, which could potentially improve efficiency, lower costs and reduce emissions in the aviation industry
A successful test flight means that after being grounded in Hawaii for seven months, the Solar Impulse 2 is ready to continue its journey around the world.
This week saw an important milestone for the aviation sector's ongoing efficiency drive with a technical, but important, new regulation taking shape at the specialised UN agency dealing with aviation, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
