Aviation Product Liability – Are You at Risk?

A Boeing 737 aircraft operated by a large international air carrier was parked at the jetway preparing for an on time departure. The crew was involved in preflight activities prior to starting the engines when there was a large explosion in the center fuel tank below the passenger compartment. The tank had been empty, as it was a short flight, but the fire caused by the vapors and subsequent explosion rocked the aircraft and caused the fuel tanks in the wings to rupture.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF EVOLUTIONARY HYDROGEN-POWERED AIRCRAFT

whitePaper | January 26, 2022

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.
