This report outlines a holistic view of pathways to a sustainable aviation ecosystem, focusing on low-net-carbon aircraft energy carriers (fuels), airport ecosystems (airports and bases), and developments in sustainable aircraft components (aircraft). Taking this holistic ecosystem perspective, we identify critical components that contribute to sustainable energy solutions necessary to achieve deep decarbonization of the aviation industry, as well as the integrated energy system interfaces that must be comprehensively understood, planned for, and realized. Further, we outline necessary R&D needs to achieve sustainability across the aviation ecosystem, including advancing breakthrough innovations to rapidly achieve scalable solutions, with attention to their cross-sectoral dependencies and implications.

While GEO satellites have higher latency and require more power and bigger antennas, they provide higher bandwidth for business and passenger jets with many simultaneous users. GEO satellite systems are heavier and costlier to operate, so balancing necessity with operational efficiencies is a key activity when selecting Satcom networks.

Last year, the assembly of the UN’s International Civil Aviation Organization agreed to set an aspirational goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, reinforcing targets and commitments made already by both industry and individual states for the sector. While net zero provides a common goal for aviation, it comes with a recognition that this sector is likely to be one of the hardest to abate. Most stakeholders agree that meeting this challenge will require a broad approach, encompassing both operational efficiencies and changing the ways we fuel flight.

Increasingly, aircraft brokers are expecting the use of electronic logbooks to ensure that records are wellorganized and complete. Advantages of cloud-based record-keeping include 24/7 accessibility, searchability, service milestone alerts, and data security. You also should be diligent about keeping an itemized list of the loose equipment that originally came with your aircraft, as well as storing equipment in an easily accessible, climate-controlled location. Being able to produce all logbooks and loose equipment when it’s time to sell can help boost your aircraft’s value
