Grangier, Guillaume (author)The aviation industry is shouting out its aim to reach ”net-zero carbon” by 2050. Nevertheless, air traffic is expected to grow up until then, and if fuel consumption is reduced by new technologies and aircraft, other sources of global<br/>warming such as N Ox emissions and contrails are less considered. Therefore, the climate impact improvement...master thesis 2023
