UTC: New white paper examines trends in green aviation technology

The number of commercial airplanes is expected to double to around 44,000 in the next 20 years. This increase in air travel means an increase in carbon dioxide emissions from airplanes – but does it have to?

UTC Chief Sustainability Officer John Mandyck and Dr. Alan H. Epstein, Vice President, Technology and Environment at Pratt & Whitney, released a white paper titled ‘The Future of Sustainable Aviation: Betting on Jet Propulsion & Lower Net Carbon Fuels’ detailing exciting new trends in green aviation technology that can allow the tremendous growth in air travel to happen more sustainably. This white paper follows the United Nations International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) first-ever carbon dioxide emissions reduction mandate for air travel.
