Sustainable aviation is a long-term strategy aimed at providing innovative solutions to the challenges facing the aviation industry. The International Symposium on Sustainable Aviation is a multi-disciplinary symposium that presents research on current sustainability-based issues and future trends in the field of aviation from an economic, social, and environmental perspective. The conference provides a platform offering insights on a broad range of current issues in aviation, such as improving aircraft fuel efficiency, fostering the use of biofuels, minimizing environmental impact, mitigating GHG emissions, and reducing engine and airframe noise. ISSA allows researchers, scientists, engineers, practitioners, policymakers, and students to exchange information, present new technologies and developments, and discuss future direction, strategies, and priorities in aviation and sustainability.

• Offers recent research on a wide array of topics;
• Addresses current issues in aviation and sustainability;
• Full proceedings of ISSA 2021 held at Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand.

T. Hikmet Karakoc, Ph.D., graduated from Anadolu University, the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He received his M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Yildiz Technical University. He received his Ph.D. from Anadolu University, where he started his full-time teaching and received his Full Professorship. He is currently researching at the Eskisehir Technical University. He has a wide range of research interests, including sustainable aviation, aircraft propulsion systems, insulation, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC), indoor air quality, gas turbines, cogeneration systems, renewable energy, energy economics, fuels, and combustion. He has participated in numerous industrial projects on these topics as a researcher, consultant, and project manager for over 30 projects and corporations. He also started a contest on special insulation applications among university students. He served as an Editor-in-Chief, guest editor, and editorial board member for international scientific journals. He published national and international papers in over 300 journals and 40 books. Professor Karakoc actively follows membership positions for the Chamber of Mechanical Engineers and many sectorial associations, international scientific organizations, and societies. He is an active Board of Directors member of the International Association for Green Energy. He is currently holding the presidency of the SARES organization, which is actively supporting scientists and students in the area of sustainable aviation. He also organizes four symposiums on aviation subject areas as a Founding Chair.

Siripong Atipan, Ph.D., received his B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering from King Mongkut Institute of Technology Ladkrabang in 1994, he then joined the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Kasetsart University as a lecturer and was awarded a scholarship from the Royal Thai Government for his graduate study. Dr. Atipan received his M.Eng. in Aerospace Engineering from the Department of Aerospace Engineering, RMIT University, Australia, in 1997 and his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from RMIT University in 2002. Under the supervision of Tom Steiner, his doctoral research focused on delaying vortex breakdown by steady and periodic part-length leading-edge bowing. He returned to the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Kasetsart University in 2002, where he is an Assistant Professor and continues his work in aerodynamics, aircraft performance, and design.
