Page 1: Airbus Perfect Flight Jan2013

In the last 40 years aircraft fuel burn and CO2 emissions have been reduced by more than 70%. The aviation industry contributes 2% of man-made CO2 emissions, 80% of which are from flights of over 1,500 km for which there is no practical alternative mode of transport.

As demand for air transport grows, the aviation industry is committed to further reducing its CO2 emissions improving fuel efficiency by 1.5% annually until 2020. It aims to achieve carbon neutral growth from 2020 and work to meet an ambitious goal of a 50% reduction in net carbon emissions by 2050 compared to 2005 levels.

More than 90 percent of Airbus’ 2 billion euros annual Research & Technology investments are for the benefit of the environment. These investments are made primarily in the development of new aircraft technologies, the improvement and implementation of a modern Air Traffic Management and the implementation of alternative fuel value chains.

Airbus’ eco-efficiency approach runs throughout the entire life cycle of its products, including design, supply chain, manufacturing, operations and end-of-life, creating added value while minimising environmental impact.

Airbus is preparing the future through new and innovative ways to even further improve the environmental performance of its products.

Through Airbus’ involvement in flights and its technical support, 50/50 blend alternative fuels are now certified for commercial use (Fischer-Tropsch and HEFA processes). Over 1,500 commercial flights have now been flown with alternative fuels worldwide. Airbus’ alternative fuels strategy is based around being the catalyst in the search for sustainable solutions for the production of affordable alternative fuels in sufficient commercial quantities to face the environmental challenges for aviation.

The right products, available today The environment is Airbus’ top level requirement for the design of any aircraft. Today’s Airbus eco-efficient aircraft (A320 Family / A330 Family / A380 Family) are the right products to support a Perfect Flight. For example, the A380 consumes 20% less fuel than its nearest competitor, meaning less than three litres of fuel per passenger per 100 kilometers travelled. Sharklets, new large wingtip devices for new-build A320 Family aircraft, will be available from end of 2012. The new devices will result in around 3.5 percent reduced fuel burn over longer sectors, corresponding to an annual CO

2 reduction of around 1,000 tonnes per aircraft.

Tomorrow’s aircraft Continued improvements are on their way.

The A320neo, New Engine Option, incorporating the latest generation of engines and Sharklets delivers significant environmental improvements: 15% reduction in fuel consumption compared to today’s single aisle aircraft, meaning around 3,600 tonnes of CO

2 saved annually per aircraft.

The all new A350 XWB’s low weight composite structure and ultra-efficient engines will also deliver leading levels of environmental performance in the long-range, twin-aisle sector, consuming around 25% less fuel than current generation aircraft. Airbus’ research and development programme extends far beyond the next generation of aircraft, paving the way to future step changes in efficiency.

Air Traffic Management (ATM)Recent Airbus research suggests that already today, if the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system and technology on board aircraft were optimised, flights in Europe and the US could on average be around 13 minutes shorter, and flights in other parts of the world could be shorter too. Assuming around 30 million flights are performed a year, this would save around 9 million tonnes of excess fuel annually, equating to over 28 million tonnes of avoidable CO2 emissions and a saving of 5 million hours of excess flight time.

Airbus is dedicated to the development and support of a modern Air Traffic Management (ATM) system in order to optimise the use of airspace worldwide. It aims to deliver new ATM capabilities and improvements which will reduce traffic congestion and delays, allow aircraft to fly direct routes, minimize aircraft fuel consumption and environmental footprint and help reduce the overall cost of air navigation service providers (ANSPs) through greater automation.

Airbus is highly involved in the Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) programme in Europe and NextGen in the US-ATM restructuring programmes which seek to enhance the performance of the ATM system through a better use of aircraft capabilities, changes in infrastructure and organisation.

OperationsAircraft can also be operated in ways that minimise fuel consumption and therefore CO2 emissions. Aircraft maintenance practices can be optimised to ensure that the aircraft’s performance is preserved at the highest, most fuel efficient levels. Fuel can also be saved by the use of specific operational procedures such as single engine taxiing or the minimal use of the aircraft’s Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). Reducing the aircraft’s take-off weight is another widely used method of reducing fuel consumption through the use of lightweight cabin trolleys, seats and other fittings.

Sustainable alternative drop-in fuels, produced from renewable resources, can reduce aviation CO2 emissions by more than 50%. The emissions reduction is a result of the total lifecycle of the alternative fuel’s production. For the foreseeable future, aviation has no other option to power aircraft than drop-in fuel and finding a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels that can be produced in sufficient commercial quantities without competing with food crops and water is a priority.

Airbus is leading this search through a global programme connecting raw material producers, refiners and the end users (the airlines) to form regional alternative fuel “value chains” in every continent.

The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) standard guarantees the sustainability of these value chains. So far six value chains have been established: in Australia, Brazil, the Middle East, Romania, China and Spain.

Use of sUstainable alternative fUels

In pursuing the Perfect Flight, Airbus believes that its scale-up can start today to shrink the environmental footprint of an aircraft’s flight to a minimum. This can be achieved through the combination of all best practices currently available, such

as operating the most eco-efficient aircraft, using sustainable alternative fuels, implementing streamlined Air Traffic Management (ATM) procedures and making overall operations more efficient.

By combining today’s state of the art technologies in revenue flights, Airbus demonstrates that CO2 emissions can be reduced by over 40% today. -40CO2
