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.

It could be said that the amount of paper documentation developed to support the complete maintenance history of any aircraft that’s been in service more than five to ten years would likely fill that aircraft. Yet what is sometimes lost in the creation of those work logs, inspection reports and compliance records is the long-term value of the data that is buried in those documents beyond airworthiness and compliance records
