OVERVIEW
In this course, participants learn about the history and
current developments in sustainable aviation. Participants will learn the about
the various topics related to sustainable aviation that include noise,
alternative fuels (biofuels, synthetic fuels, methane, alcohols, and hydrogen),
and lifecycle environmental impact and analysis. The possible advantages and challenges of
each type of alternative fuel will be discussed. A practical overview of Electric Aircraft Design
will also be presented.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Identify the definition and key elements of Sustainable Aviation
- Identify noise sources and aircraft noise requirements
- Understand the promises and challenges of different types of alternative fuels and electric aircraft
- Understand the concept of environment lifecycle assessment and how it can be applied to aircraft systems
- Know about recent developments in Sustainable Aviation
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is intended for engineers with a background in aerospace engineering who are interested in learning about key aspects of Sustainable Aviation.

INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Marty
Bradley is an AIAA Fellow and recently retired Technical Fellow for The
Boeing Company. He has 38 years of aerospace experience and is now a consultant
and instructor focused on sustainable aviation and electric aircraft. Marty has
led projects related to electric and hybrid electric aircraft, advanced
concepts and technologies, propulsion integration for advanced technologies,
alternative fuels, and aviation environmental life cycle analysis. He was the
Principal Investigator for the NASA-funded SUGAR study looking at advanced
technologies for future commercial aircraft in the 2030-2050 timeframe. He has been working on Sustainable Aviation
for more than 20 years, long before it was popular. He has a
B.S., M.S., & Ph.D. from the University of Southern California and teaches
their Aircraft Design capstone engineering course.
