WEBINAR
The aviation industry’s efforts to improve sustainability have been put on the back burner as the COVID-19 crisis has forced airlines and commercial aircraft manufacturers to focus on survivability.

  • How will the crisis set back electric propulsion and other efforts to lower aviation’s contribution to climate change?
  • Will accelerated retirements of older, less efficient aircraft help offset those delays?
  • Should governments be mandating cleaner and quieter airplanes in exchange for billions of dollars in economic aid to the industry?
