Sustainable aviation involves the development and use of renewable or waste-derived aviation fuels, known as Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), which meet sustainability criteria. These fuels are designed to reduce CO2 emissions from aviation, a sector responsible for 12% of CO2 emissions from all transport sources.  The global aviation industry is committed to a sustainable future for aviation, aiming to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This goal will be achieved through improvements in aircraft and engine efficiency. In this show we focus on issues beyond fuels including design, materials and we unpack some myths with David Zingg and Stephen Armstrong.   Guest Bio: Professor David Zingg is Internationally recognized as a leading researcher in the field of computational fluid dynamics, and has achieved numerous advancements that have increased the competitiveness of Canada's aerospace industry.  As a Professor at the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) for the past 37 years, Dr. Zingg has championed the need to reduce the impact of aviation on the environment, and has built a highly respected team to develop technological solutions to address this issue. His research areas include aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and aerodynamic shape optimization. His current research is focused on applying high-fidelity aerodynamic shape optimization to aircraft design to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft.  To help ensure that results of his research are quickly transferred to practice, Dr. Zingg has consistently engaged industry in his research activities and has close ties with Bombardier and NASA. He holds BSc, MASc and Phd all from the UofT.
