    Hamburg Branch: Insights into future propulsion technologies.

    18:00 - 20:00 CESTHAW Hamburg

    The aviation sector has set ambitious targets to achieve net zero flight by 2050, there are several legislative, operational and technological pathways that will contribute towards this. Some of the greatest challenges are faced in developing solutions that will directly reduce the emissions of the aircraft.

    This presentation will provide some insights into what technologies are being explored for future propulsion systems based on new and alternative fuels such as battery, hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels. It will explain how the incumbent primes are adopting different approaches to decarbonisation, while emerging companies are seeking to carve out niches with their disruptive technologies and business models.

    No registration required - lecture in-person only.
