Next-Gen Aviation: High-Efficiency Aircraft Design and Technologies
Aviation emissions have doubled since 1990 (barring a sharp drop in emissions during the COVID pandemic) due to increased demand for both passenger and cargo air transportation. While demand and emissions have increased, so has efficiency.
Aircraft efficiency has improved steadily over the past five decades—modern commercial jets are over 40% more fuel efficient than in 1960 (compound annual efficiency improvement of about 1.3%). Estimates suggest that the latest generation of commercial jets are up to 20% more efficient than previous generation counterparts.
