Accelerating Sustainable Aviation Initiatives: Markets, Economics, and Social Issues examines the twin challenges of clean aviation and the industry's ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. The book looks at integrated technologies and societal issues driving aircraft design, certification, operational performance, maintenance, and safety. Coverage includes emerging technologies for low emissions and the evolution of aircraft fleets toward zero environmental impact, the effects of COVID-19, and economic efficiency and market implications of renewing current fleets to meet environmental targets.

The book will be of keen interest to professionals and researchers interested in emerging technologies for clean aviation and the industry's emergence from the COVID-19 crisis.

• Looks at emerging technologies for green aviation;
• Projects market implications of meeting environmental targets;

• Examines the impact of COVID-19.

  Luiz Manuel Braga da Costa Campos is currently an Emeritus Professor at Lisbon University, where he worked from 1970 until retiring in 2020, he was Chair Professor and Coordinator of aerospace engineering degrees (B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D.).Since their creation in 1991, Professor Campos graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico in 1972 and received his Ph.D. from Cambridge University. He was a Senior Rouse Ball Scholar at Trinity College in 1977 and 1978 and an Alexander von Humboldt Scholar at Max Planck Institute for Astronomy from 1990 to 1991. He received a D.Sc. from Lisbon University in 1994. He is the author of 17 books, 167 papers in 64 peer-reviewed journals, 288 communications to symposia, has been a reviewer for 41 scientific journals, and has participated in 44 research projects (33 with international funding and five as coordinator). He is also the author of 34 mathematical reviews and a member of five editorial boards of scientific journals. His areas of research include aeronautical and space engineering (aerospace vehicle design; flight mechanics, stability and control; air traffic management), waves in fluids (aeroacoustics, hydromagnetic waves), astrophysics (solar, terrestrial, stars, relativity, cosmology), and mathematical physics (fractional calculus, differential equations, and special functions). He is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and Royal Astronomical Society, a Life Founding member of the European Astronomical Society, and a member of the International Space Academy. Professor Campos received the von Kármán Medal from the NATO Research and Technology Organization. He was Chairman of the Flight Mechanics Panel (FMP) and Flight Vehicle Integration Panel (FVIP) of the Advisory Group for Aerospace Research and Development (AGARD), Vice-Chairman of the Aeronautical Research and Technology Advisory Group (ARTCO) of the European Union (EU), where he also participated as a national representative or individual consultant and the European Space Agency (ESA) where he served on the Council and Launchers Programme Board. Has been a member of the Committee for Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) of the United Nations (UN), the Space Science Committee (SSC) of the European Science Foundation (ESF), the board of Trustees of the Council of European Aerospace Societies (CEAS), and the International Council of Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS).
