The decarbonization of aviation is a major issue, both in the eyes of the public and in the ambitions of the aeronautics industry. Daily, ALTEN engineers are working to address concerns for cleaner, greener aviation while ensuring that people can travel safely, anywhere in the world.
The innovations in energy systems are the most dramatic change the aviation industry has experienced since supersonic flight. There are great technological challenges involved in electrical and hydrogenic propulsion. ALTEN has been involved in the development of these technologies, for the aeronautics and automotive industry, for decades.
Other ALTEN activities involve research into biofuels – sustainable aeronautical fuels – and aircraft aerodynamics, in particular using new materials such as carbon to make the aircraft lighter without losing strength.
