Creating safe airport environments for passengers whilst optimising costs

In the webinar, our experts explored how airports will need to adapt and transform in the coming decades, with a focus on sustainability as it becomes increasingly important for airports to not only consider their own operations, but also the cities and regions that they serve. By taking an integrated approach to future planning, Siemens and Arcadis will be able to help airports adapt and transform by providing sustainable business and environmental solutions. Speakers and topics included: Developing a Comprehensive, Interactive and Digital Development Strategy for Airports - Paz Armenta, Head of Airport Design and Engineering, Arcadis The Transition to Smart Airports: Achieving Success Through Smart Technology - Roger Durham, Head of Business Development at Siemens Power Technologies International An Introduction to the Aviation Data Hub - Christopher Stein, Digital Business Director, Siemens Logistics

Aviation industry has been in the spotlight for its adverse impact on the environment, despite huge strides being made to reduce the environmental impact of aircraft and engines. Globally, aviation produced 2.4% of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2018. While this may seem like a relatively small amount, consider that if aviation was a country, it would rank 6th in the world between Japan and Germany in terms of total CO2 emissions. Non-CO2 effects, such as warming induced by aircraft contrails and other pollutants, bring aviation’s combined total contribution to global warming to approximately 5%. The Coronavirus Pandemic has shone a bigger spotlight on the sector to be more ‘green’, with much government financial support linked to environmental change. Decarbonizing aviation will take longer than other industries — new planes sold today will likely still be in operation in 2050 — that 5% of global emissions attributed to aviation is expected to grow to roughly 25% by 2050. How do we deliver a more sustainable aviation industry: – What are technical capabilities for environmental challenges, how do we decrease emissions and what is the CO2 limitation challenge? – How can Fuel Efficiency IT systems and Innovations for Decarbonising contrails contribute towards sustainable aviation? – What is the impact of the technology environment (at different stages of flight eg. TBO/4D Trajectory)? Join us for this exciting webinar that will discuss these challenges for flight operations in the aerospace sector.

HyperMesh enables Aerospace engineers to build models coherently from concept models to global loads models and then to detailed FE models (GFEM to DFEM) based on a common CAE Master Model Organization. The structure can be shared easily with PLM, PDM or CAD systems. The master model approach allows for individual work groups to work on sub-assemblies. These can later be merged into the global master model. Configuration management can be used to derive model variants from the same model.

Flight Ascend Consultancy hosted the quarterly Helicopter webinar, where our independent aviation experts discussed the latest helicopter industry trends and developments. Here you can listen to the recording of the webinar session as well as download the presentation slides.
