Introducing the Sustainable Aero Lab
The next great leap of aviation will be towards a climate neutral future.
It took only 50 years to get from the Wright Brothers to the jet age. Since then, aviation has become a lot safer, more reliable and affordable for many. Yet aviation has been in a state of evolution for the past 60 years. We want to change this and get back to a disruptive state of mind.
The aviation industry has historically been the most innovative when facing crises. We are facing our biggest global crisis today: climate change. With this, aviation will once again leap forward - unlocking new fields of technology and business. It’s time to start the journey.
