Abstract
This chapter discusses achieving sustainable aviation goals primarily through the application of fuel-efficient methods in the aviation sector. At the outset, the chapter discusses the growth of the aviation sector and its impact on various aspects of public life. The environmental impacts of aviation and its allied sectors are elaborately discussed. It further proceeds towards discussing the different types of technological and operational methods for achieving fuel efficiency in aircraft and in the field of aviation. Simple technologies like winglets and wiring weight to advanced technologies like D8 engines, BWB aircraft, 3D printing and TTBW design are discussed. Further, the chapter deals with operational methods of achieving fuel-efficient flights, which include CCO/ CDO methods, route optimisation, DPO and IFO. It separately deals with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), with an emphasis on its effects and scalability issues. To consolidate these methods, the chapter sets out a more general path to achieve sustainable aviation. It also delves into the challenges in achieving sustainability in aviation and some open questions to be addressed in future. The chapter finds that, to achieve sustainable aviation, creating fuel-efficient flights is crucial and it will only be possible with the collaboration of all stakeholders involved in the sector.
