Sustainability has recently been identified as the greatest challenge facing the modern
aviation field. Given the extreme power and energy characteristics of transport-class aircraft …

Aircraft-produced contrail cirrus clouds contribute to anthropogenic climate change.
Observational data sets and modelling approaches have become available that clarify …

Global aviation operations contribute to anthropogenic climate change via a complex set of
processes that lead to a net surface warming. Of importance are aviation emissions of …

Aviation is an important contributor to the global economy, satisfying society's mobility
needs. It contributes to climate change through CO2 and non-CO2 effects, including contrail …

Ever since the Wright brothers' first powered flight in 1903, commercial aircraft have relied
on liquid hydrocarbon fuels. However, the need for greenhouse gas emission reductions …

Aviation-related aerosol emissions contribute to the formation of contrail cirrus clouds that
can alter upper tropospheric radiation and water budgets, and therefore climate. The …

The compact Earth system model OSCARv2. 2 is used to assess the climate impact of
present and future civil aviation carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The impact of aviation CO2 …

The strong reduction of air traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic provides a unique test case
for the relationship between air traffic density, contrails, and their radiative forcing of climate …

Aviation emissions have been found to cause 5% of global anthropogenic radiative forcing
and∼ 16 000 premature deaths annually due to impaired air quality. When aiming to reduce …

Aviation emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO x) alter the composition of the atmosphere,
perturbing the greenhouse gases ozone and methane, resulting in positive and negative …
