Abstract\r Purpose\r To examine the role of new aeronautical technologies in improving commercial aviations environmental performance.\r \r \r Methodology/approach\r Reviews the environmental improvements that may be conferred through the adoption of alternative aviation fuels and new airframe, engine and navigation technologies.\r \r \r Findings\r Although aeronautical technologies have evolved considerably since the earliest days of powered flight, the aviation industry is now reaching a point of diminishing returns as growing global consumer demand for air transport outstrips incremental improvements in environmental efficiency. The chapter describes some of the technological interventions that are being pursued to improve aviations environmental performance and discusses the extent to which these innovations will help to deliver a more sustainable aviation industry.
