  1. Aviation climate policies may not deliver full promised effects
    Economic analysis examining policy mechanisms for aviation emission reduction, comparing domestic regulations and international agreements.
  2. Chemically inflated airbag reduced UAV impact force
    Chemical reaction airbag system for drones reduces impact forces by 66% during free-fall collisions, enabling safer autonomous UAV operations without excessive payload burden.
  3. Lebanon study finds support for greener aviation despite major barriers
    Mixed-method analysis of sustainable aviation pathways in Lebanon's airline sector, examining stakeholder expectations and institutional barriers within fragile-state contexts.
  4. Methanol-to-jet had the lowest costs in CO2-based SAF pathways
    Techno-economic assessment of CO2-based sustainable aviation fuel pathways across Europe, USA and Middle East, comparing Fischer-Tropsch, methanol-to-jet and ethanol-to-jet routes.
  5. CORSIA may conflict with WTO trade rules
    Legal analysis assessing CORSIA compatibility with WTO trade rules and proposing governance reforms to reconcile sustainable aviation climate action with equitable international trade law.
  6. Hydrogen contrail ice crystal formation depends on entrained aerosols
    Systematic microphysical simulations reveal ice crystal formation mechanisms in hydrogen-combustion contrails, establishing foundation for climate impact parameterization.
  7. High-altitude ice clouds show daytime cooling and nighttime warming
