| 摘要： | Aviation is one of the largest contributors to climate change on this planet, responsible for nearly5% of the global warming impact on Earth. As the aviation sector is projected to grow and asnew aircraft are introduced, aviation’s impact on climate change will only increase. Withoutsustainable alternatives implemented in the near future, aviation could strongly contribute tomaking this planet uninhabitable. This paper examines the possibilities of electric aviation andother power sources in reducing the impact of aviation on climate change. Although there aremany power sources for aircraft, electricity is the most effective and sustainable power source.Electric aviation, however, is still relatively new, and there are limitations with electric power,such as battery size, energy density, and charging. This paper dives deeper into theapplications and factors to consider for the implementation of electric aircraft into the currentsociety, as well as a potential solution to accelerate the process. Specifically, our research findsthat hydrogen fuel cells, despite a few limitations, provide the amount of energy necessary todevelop capable and sustainable electric aircraft in a manner that may be the most feasible. |
