FlyATM4E was having its Steering Committee Meeting today. The status of the different work packages were presented and the next steps of FlyATM4E Project were discussed. This meeting coincided with the International Mother Earth Day. Mother Earth is clearly urging a call to action. Nature is suffering. Oceans filling with plastic and turning more acidic. Extreme heat, … More FlyATM4E Steering Committee on International Mother Earth Day

The climate impact of aviation is caused by both CO2 emissions and non-CO2 effects, which include, for example, contrails, and contrail-cirrus, formation of ozone (O3) or methane (CH4) depletion by nitrogen oxide emissions. Aviation can reduce its climate impact by reducing its CO2 emissions and also its non-CO2 effects. One way to implement such mitigation … More Concept studies on the mitigation potential by climate-optimized flights by DLR

“Increasing female leadership in projects is not an easy task. I feel such activities need to start from the participating organisations. Additionally, visibility to women in science should be fostered and supported, for example in conference committees, evaluation boards, advisory boards and scientific panels.” Sigrun Matthes, Project Coordinator of FlyATM4E This reference is taken from … More Women in aviation
