Learn about the impact of sustainable aircraft

The aviation industry faces one of the biggest challenges in its history: reducing its environmental footprint without compromising safety or operational efficiency. In this context, sustainable aircraft have emerged as a key solution to meet global decarbonization targets and redefine the way we fly in the 21st century.

With advances in electric, hybrid, and non-fossil fuel technologies, these aircraft not only offer a cleaner alternative but also represent a true shift in the aviation paradigm. The future is not on the horizon, it’s already taking off.

Objectives 2050

What are sustainable aircraft and how do they work

The term "sustainable aircraft" refers to aircraft technologies designed to reduce environmental impact during operations. This includes fully electric models, as well as conventional aircraft adapted to operate with Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).

Electric aircraft rely on high-density lithium battery systems to power their motors, resulting in zero direct emissions and significantly lower noise levels. This makes them ideal for urban mobility and short-haul flights.

Meanwhile, SAFs allow existing aircraft to fly with minimal engine modifications while reducing lifecycle CO₂ emissions by up to 80%. These fuels are derived from renewable sources such as organic waste, recycled oils, or algae, making them a practical bridge toward decarbonization.

Why sustainable aircraft are a global priority

According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), aviation accounts for approximately 2% of global CO₂ emissions. Though seemingly minor, this figure is expected to rise dramatically as air traffic is projected to double in the next two decades.

To respond to this growth, governments, manufacturers, and aviation schools are moving quickly to adopt sustainable aircraft technologies and reshape the industry's future. Sustainability is no longer an optional path, it’s the only runway ahead.

Sustainable aircraft and the future of pilot training

This technological shift is also redefining how future pilots are trained. Educational programs that incorporate topics such as electric aircraft systems, fuel innovation, and energy efficiency are becoming essential.

Beyond learning to fly, pilots now need to understand the sustainability principles behind the machines they operate. This knowledge prepares them to make smarter, more responsible decisions in the cockpit, and on the ground.
