Alternative Fuels (Their Impact on Aircraft Design Configuration, i.e., AC size and shape).







 Technologically advanced alternative fuels (i.e. Stored Electricity, Hydrogen, etc.) are certain to be introduced to achieve the ultimate net zero targets. These technologies will influence the aircraft shape, size, and safety provisions. The use of alternative fuels for propulsion in place of Jet fuel with highly advanced gas turbines and electrically produced thrust will drive research, development and the ultimate design of many of the advanced aircraft referenced above. These alternative fuels offer gamechanging environmental benefits. The associated regulations and highly integrated functional requirements linked to these technologies will heavily influence future design concepts. Important guidance for this effort is provided in the latest revision of SAE document ARP 475 (Guidelines for Development of Civil Aircraft and Systems) and ARP 476124 (Guidelines and Methods for Conducting the Safety Assessment Process on Civil Airborne Systems and Equipment). Accompanying measures for these technologies will be co-developed by ICAO, by national and international regulators (EASA, FAA, etc.), global research partners, airframers, engine suppliers and aircraft systems suppliers in harmony with the timely progression of the new energy technologies themselves.

Focus on the Risk management elements in the Aviation Industry.

  RISK REGISTER.  It is highly recommended to create and maintain a Risk Register, containing the relevant risk information for each of the identified scenarios. This risk register should be reviewed regularly as part of the business continuity process.  RISK ASSESSMENT.  Risk is commonly defined as a combination (product) of likelihood and impact of an event. This is also the case in a contingency context. In contrast to common (economic) risk assessments, where likelihood and impact are equally weighted, contingency situations have some particularities. Contingency situations, fortunately, have a low occurrence likelihood. Humans are known to have problems dealing probabilistic events, especially with low likelihood events. In addition to these low base rates, the impact variation can be very high, and the impact mechanisms are often not very well understood. For this last group of scenarios, further research is necessary to enable better risk contingency risk asse...

ICAO Today and Tomorrow —Safe Skies, Sustainable Future.

Image
  As the United Nations specialized agency forinternational civil aviation , ICAO has built upon 80 years of success in creating today’s international aviation law, policies and standards. The Chicago Convention, which formed ICAO, states the purpose of international aviation and its future developments is to “create and preserve friendship and understanding among the nations and peoples of the world.” In pursuit of this purpose, ICAO works with 193 Member States and several industry groups to reach consensus on international civil aviationStandards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and policies. Over the past 80 years this work has led the international aviation sector to deliver dramatically improved services that connect nations and people as never before. Economic prosperity today draws enormous benefit from safe and secure movement of passengers and goods across the globe with greater ease and lower cost than at any previous time in human history. Aviation has helped c...
