Enabling the Future of Aircraft Propulsion

Emissions regulations and net zero sustainability targets are driving the need for next-generation aircraft engines with increased efficiency and sustainability requirements. This trend is driving the need for lighter-weight and higher-performance materials for propulsion systems. The industry is shifting its focus to the implementation of non-conventional Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and the development of hybrid-electric propulsion, along with the development of hydrogen-fueled propulsion technology. The future of aircraft propulsion demands up to a 20% increase in efficiency with the potential for all-new engine and nacelle architectures. The advancement of aircraft propulsion will provide a significant contribution toward meeting sustainability requirements and reducing the carbon footprint of the aerospace industry.
