Economies around the world face the daunting task of getting back on their feet in a post-COVID pandemic world, and the aviation sector will undoubtedly have a key role to play. But how do we tackle the great dichotomy: flights are crucial to GDP but flying also damages the environment. Can we take to the skies while still meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, or individual goals such as the EU’s target to be carbon neutral by 2050? And do those living near airports want us to go back to business as normal after enjoying a year of peace and quiet, due to the huge drop in flights caused by the pandemic?

In this episode of CORDIScovery, join our host, Abigail Acton as she discusses these issues and more with our three distinguished guests: Dr Vittorio Cipolla, based at the University of Pisa and coordinator of the PARSIFAL project, who is hoping to bring a radically redesigned wing to market – will companies embrace disruptive tech? Then Laurent Leylekian, European Affairs Officer at the French aerospace lab, ONERA, and coordinator of the ANIMA project, which analysed noise pollution from the perspective of local residents. And finally, Dr Andrew Rolt, senior research fellow at Cranfield University (UK) and coordinator of the ENABLEH2, who is researching technologies for liquid hydrogen fuelled commercial aviation.
