Seeking energy efficiency in aircrafts
An emphasis on reducing the environmental impact of aircraft means EU-funded scientists have been researching ways to reduce drag using an aircraft’s small, active components to make them more energy-efficient and reduce emissions. Reductions in carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from aircraft are directly related to an aircraft’s fuel burn, drag and aircraft weight. […]
A simpler solution to stop the death of bees
