Now we would like to invite you to the last video of this week – an interview with Prof. Yu Zhang (from the University of South Florida) who will share more about the behind the scenes efforts to decarbonize aviation.

Key takeaways:

1. Continuous descent approach is a new method of landing to reduce energy consumption of an aircraft by allowing it to perform an optimized smooth descending
2. Airport Collaborative Decision Making (ACDM) can be a useful approach to reduce taxiing delay from the active moving area to the gate and reduce air fuel consumption
3. There are numerous on-board and external systems that can reduce an aircraft’s energy consumption during ground movement
4. Hydrogen is a promising alternative energy fuel for aircrafts, yet numerous challenges have to be resolved to make it a feasible option
