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

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.

In this paper we show that there are some important and urgent challenges to decarbonizing aviation. Emissions from the aviation industry in 2019 were 1.06Gt, accounting for 2% of annual global CO2 emissions. That number is set to increase to 2.05Gt in 2050

Used widely across applications within industries such as aerospace, automotive and alternative energy, carbonfiber reinforced polymer composites offer excellent mechanical properties, especially strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. While light-weighting is a notable advantage of composite parts, the production costs have historically been higher per kilogram than components designed using metals/alloys.

Aviation is a hard-to-decarbonize sector of the transport industry due to the stringent mass and volume requirements for aviation fuel. The high energy content of liquid jet fuel, both per unit mass (specific energy) and per unit volume (energy density), makes it difficult to replace. Significant emphasis has been placed on drop-in Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) to reduce emissions without sacrificing aircraft performance. But SAFs emit carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted (carbon capture during production reduces life-cycle emissions) and their uptake has fallen short of expectations due to their high cost, limited supply, and concerns about the land-use impacts of biofuels.
