Megill, Liam (author), Deck, K.T. (author), Grewe, V. (author)A growing body of research has highlighted the major contribution of aviation non-CO2 emissions and effects to anthropogenic climate change. Regulation of these emissions, for example in the EU Emissions Trading System, requires the use of a climate metric. However, choosing a suitable climate metric is challenging due to the high uncertainties...journal article 2024

Peters, Elena (author)Sustainability is a crucial topic in the day to day life as well as in industries. With the help of innovation and new technologies, the negative impacts on sustainability can be decreased. During the development of technologies, the concept of sustainability should be included at all times. This can be done with the help of sustainability...master thesis 2023

Nieuwborg, A.B.D. (author), Hiemstra-van Mastrigt, S. (author), Melles, M. (author), Zekveld, Jan (author), Santema, S.C. (author)The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the existential public health and economic fragilities of the civil aviation industry. To prevent future public health disruptions, the civil aviation industry is gaining interest in becoming more “resilient” but rarely elaborates on its meaning, hampering decision-making and strategy development. When looking into...review 2023

van Dam, Leanne (author)The aviation industry faces the challenge of reducing its climate eects. This paper aims to determine whether optimizing flight trajectories can reduce the environmental impact of aircraft during the climb and descent phases. It addresses the research gap in sustainable flight trajectory optimization by combining state-of-the-art research on...master thesis 2022

Landman, H.M. (author), Kalogeras, Dimitrios (author), Houben, Mark (author), Groen, Eric L. (author)Background: Previous research has shown that experiencing motion stimuli negatively impacts cognitive performance. Objective: In the current study, we investigate whether this impact relates to Type-II spatial disorientation (SD), to motion stimulus magnitude, or to an interaction of these factors. Method: Stimuli for participants (n = 23)...journal article 2022

Vink, P. (author), Vledder, G. (author), Ribeiro Monteiro, L. (author), Song, Y. (author)Turboprop airplanes and trains have the potential in being more sustainable for short distance travels. This paper focuses on identifying factors that influence passengers in the selection of transport. A questionnaire was developed by 4 experts and used in 3 workshops with 58 aircraft interior design experts. Besides, the answers of 20...journal article 2022

Neuman, Joris (author)The aviation sector accounted for 3.4 to 4.0% of the total anthropogenic radiative forcing in 2015. The sectors’growth is several percentage points larger than the annual fuel efficiency gain, resulting in an increasing climatechange impact. The world formulated goals for 2050 to limit anthropogenic climate change, the aviation sectorrequires a...master thesis 2021

Metz, I.C. (author), Ellerbroek, Joost (author), Mühlhausen, Thorsten (author), Kügler, Dirk (author), Kern, Stefan (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Involving air traffic controllers and pilots into the bird strike prevention process is considered an essential step to increase aviation and avian safety. Prior to implementing operational measures such as real-time warning systems, it is vital to evaluate their feasibility. This paper studies the efficacy of a bird strike advisory system for...journal article 2021

Gangoli Rao, A. (author), Yin, F. (author)Aviation is the backbone of our modern society. At present, around 4.5 Billion passengers travel through the air every year and aviation is responsible for around 5 % of anthropogenic causes of Global Warming (Lee et al, 2009). With the increase in global GDP, the number of travellers is expected to increase to 7.5 Billion by 2037 and to around...abstract 2020

Domingos de Azevedo Quadros, F. (author), Dedoussi, I.C. (author)Emissions from civil aviation traffic degrade air quality, causing human health problems that have been estimated to result in ~16 000 premature deaths per year globally, potentially making the cost to society of the air quality impacts even greater than the cost of the climate impact of these emissions. Previous studies have indicated that...abstract 2020

Niklaß, Malte (author), Grewe, V. (author), Gollnick, V (author)Approximately two third of aviation’s climate impact is caused by non-CO2 effects, like the production of ozone and the formation of contrail-cirrus clouds, which can be effectively prevented by re-routing flights around highly climate-sensitive areas. Although climate-optimized re-routing results in slightly longer flight times, increased fuel...abstract 2020

(author), Mulder, Max (author)Objective: We tested whether a procedure in a hexapod simulator can cause incorrect assumptions of the bank angle (i.e., the “leans”) in airline pilots as well as incorrect interpretations of the attitude indicator (AI). Background: The effect of the leans on interpretation errors has previously been demonstrated in nonpilots. In-flight,...journal article 2020

Domingos de Azevedo Quadros, F. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Dedoussi, I.C. (author)Emissions from civil aviation degrade air quality, and have been estimated to lead to ~16 000 premature deaths annually. Previous studies have indicated that aviation emissions in different regions have varying corresponding air quality and human health impacts. Given the global nature of aviation activity and its forecasted regionally...journal article 2020

(author), Agarwal, Akshat (author), Staples, Mark D. (author)Aviation emissions have been found to cause5%of global anthropogenic radiative forcing and ∼16 000 premature deaths annually due to impaired air quality. When aiming to reduce these impacts, decision makers often face trade-offs between different emission species or impacts in different times and locations. To inform rational decision-making,...journal article 2019

Sutopo, Kinanthi (author)Aviation is a large contributor to anthropogenic climate change through its emissions, particularly through nitrogen oxides (NOx), which reacts to Ozone in the atmosphere. Due to the emission of NOx, the ozone budget of the atmosphere is disturbed which results in an increase in the Earth’s surface temperature. To mitigate this effect, the...master thesis 2019
