"A Framework for Aviation Cybersecurity"

"As a key foundation of international trade, tourism, and investment, aviation is crucial to the global economy. This reliable, safe, and efficient transportation network carries over 2.6 billion passengers a year and 48 million tons of freight. Aviation’s global economic impact (direct, indirect, induced, and tourism catalytic) is estimated at $2.2 trillion or 3.5% of global gross domestic product (GDP). Disruption to this flow can result in significant economic and social disruption that would ripple across the globe, as demonstrated in the aftermath to the attacks of September 11, 2001. We now remain vigilant to adversaries who seek to disrupt the global economy by attacking aviation’s critical infrastructure. "

A Roadmap Toward a Sustainable Aviation Ecosystem

whitePaper | August 31, 2022

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.
