      Open Access
      The social potential of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) as a greener and faster transportation system in and around urban environments is indisputable. Nevertheless, the success of UAM introduction and its wide use will strongly ...

    • The pathway to net-zero emission in aviation – How much can we rely on sustainable aviation fuel? 

      Villardi de Montlaur, Adeline de; Kuljanin, Jovana; Ganic, Emir (Elsevier, 2024-10-03)
      Article
      Open Access
      The aviation industry is under constant pressure to reduce its environmental footprint and eventually achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In order to accomplish this ambitious but necessary goal, a variety of measures ...

    • Tactical departure scheduling for pop-up flights in Kansai International Airport
