Episode 40 of the “Aerospace Ambition Podcast” featuring Dr Alexandru Rap (University of Leeds) is out!
Talking Points
Key drivers of aviation's climate impact: CO₂, contrails, NOₓ, and their interactions
Contrail formation factors: humidity, engine efficiency, and soot emissions
Advances in modelling persistent contrails and mitigating their warming effects
Fuel innovations: reducing soot with bio-kerosene, e-kerosene, and hydrotreating
Hydrogen aviation's potential: increased water vapour vs reduced soot emissions
Lessons from military aviation on contrail avoidance for climate mitigation
Guest
Alex is an Associate Professor in Atmospheric Science at the University of Leeds’ School of Earth and Environment. Two of his many areas of expertise are aviation’s climate impact and contrail parameterisations for climate models. He led his university’s work for the ATI that is the UK Aerospace Technology institute, as part of the FlyZero program and is now working with Airbus and Rolls-Royce on the Contrails Assessment for future aircraft and propulsion architectures and aerosol cloud interactions.
