The aviation industry’s efforts to improve sustainability have been put on the back burner as the COVID-19 crisis has forced airlines and commercial aircraft manufacturers to focus on survivability. How will the crisis set back electric propulsion and other efforts to lower aviation’s contribution to climate change? Will accelerated retirements of older, less efficient aircraft help offset those delays? And should governments be mandating cleaner and quieter airplanes in exchange for billions of dollars in economic aid to the industry? Dr. Daniel Rutherford, aviation program director at the International Council on Clean Transportation, joins Aviation Week editors to discuss what aviation leaders should be thinking about now to be positioned for a greener future when the industry recovers.
