Program Description
Sustainable aviation is essential to the global goal of achieving carbon-neutrality by 2050. In this course, we will start by exploring the fundamentals of aircraft propulsion systems and their environmental impacts. We will subsequently move on to explore potential solutions, with a focus on three aspects: (1) alternative fuels; (2) hydrogen technologies; and (3) electrified aircraft. In Part 1, we will examine aviation fuel standards, physical and chemical properties, emissions, the “fit-for-purpose” approach for designing and selecting alternative fuels, their influence on aircraft design, and the economics and production methods of alternative fuels. In Part 2, we will delve into hydrogen production and storage, water electrolysis, hydrogen storage, ammonia, combustion chemistry, hydrogen combustor, hydrogen fuel cell, and hydrogen aircraft engine. In Part 3, we will look at electrochemistry for batteries, cell designs, the challenges and barriers, and the potential impacts of electrified aircraft. Upon completion of this course, students will be equipped with the latest knowledge of technical solutions and possibilities of modern engineering to make aviation more sustainable. Moreover, the course will also encourage critical and creative thinking about the future of aviation and how you can play a role. Additionally, students will gain exposure to European sustainability efforts through industrial visits to Airbus Space & Defense and Saft Batteries. They will also be able to explore cultural sites across France, allowing them to truly experience the French art de vivre.
