I : Environment standards

a. Develop aircrafts and helicopters more environmentally friendly

Aircrafts

New engines

-> Latest technology and new architecture ( new aerodynamism systems )

-> Lowest specific fuel consumption in this category

-> Lowest CO2 and emissions

-> Lowest noise level ( pollution is also with sound )

Helicopters

New generation TurboShaft Engine :

More powerful than previous generation while reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

b. Electric aircrafts

To train pilots all over the world, Airbus created the E-Fan.[pic 2]

It is a electric training aircraft based on an all-composite construction.

The E-Fan is a key element in Airbus Group’s electric aircraft roadmap. This strategy outlines a step-by-step approach for Airbus Group’s short-medium and long-term development of electric planes.

c. Biofuel

The futur is open to biofuel.

Why biofuel ?[pic 3]

Only 53 years left for oil reserves, this is why biofuel is nowadays more and more important.

Airbus fully supports the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe’s  long-term vision to reduce air transport CO2 emissions up to 50 per cent by 2050 (compared to 2005)

In 2014, boeing announced the first flight with 15% of “ green-diesel”, produced from vegetal oil, waste cooking oil and animal fat waste.

So is Boeing do it, Airbus can do it too and develop an entire range using biofuel. Even if it is only for short-medium range aircraft.
