Beyond the Dreamliner: Blended Wing-Body Aircraft
Pollution is the most significant challenge that the aviation industry encounters nowadays. Air travel is the world’s fastest growing source of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, which cause climate change. Globally the world’s 16,000 commercial jet aircraft generate more than 700 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), the world’s major greenhouse gas, per year. Indeed […]
