‘Relatively Stable’ Emissions? Airbus Says Innovation Can Offset Air Travel But the Record Isn’t Good

"We would be wrong to be right too early," sums up the CEO of Airbus Guillaume Faury. But despite the announced delay, the European giant is keeping the course on the 100% electric hydrogen aircraft that he now hopes to design between 2040 and 2045.

Airbus explains why it will still take a hydrogen aircraft to enter the market. Climate-neutral flying in 2050 remains the goal, but whether it can be achieved is highly questionable.

Skift Take: Airbus obviously can’t push for less air travel. But more efficient planes can only do so much to offset emissions from further growth. -Darin GrahamRead the Complete Story On Skift

The Russian MS-21 and SJ-100 aircraft projects have reached the “home stretch” and are undergoing certification tests. Sergey Chemezov, General Director of Rostec State Corporation, spoke about this in an interview with Expert.

Airbus expects to be able to operate its new generation of single corridor aircraft during the second half of the 2030s according to the updated roadmap it has presented during the Airbus Summit 2025. The company is working on this new generation of aircraft that will increase energy efficiency by 20% to 30% compared to the current generation, as well as the ability to fly with up to 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The airline manufacturer relies on disruptive technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of tomorrow's aircraft. Airbus presented its latest technological advances at its annual summit in Toulouse, highlighting promising solutions for a more sustainable aviation. Among the flagship projects are an open blower engine and folding wings, [...] The article Airbus unveils its revolutionary innovations for the aviation of the future appeared first on…
