One of the primary environmental issues that significantly influences the capacity and flexibility of the national aviation system is aircraft1 and vehicle2 noise (collectively, “aircraft noise”). 3 The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintains a robust program of activities related to aviation noise. The FAA’s approach is multi-pronged, including research and development, regulatory control, and public and stakeholder outreach programs relating to the public’s experience of aviation noise.4 The FAA strives to reduce noise in ways within its purview, but its ability to control the change in aircraft noise exposure is limited.

Skyroads AG, Munich, Germany is developing, testing and implementing an Automated Airspace Management and Vehicle Guidance System (AAVS). It is abundantly clear that a system which helps guide complex, three-dimensional traffic in congested airspace will be needed soon. Legacy ATC systems are not able to support the urban transport mode.

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.
