Adam Durant
Carbon dioxide emissions have received all of the focus when it comes to aviation and climate change. However, it is a very little known fact that CO2 only comprises a third of the total warming effect that aviation has on the atmosphere. The other two thirds of aviation induced climate warming comes from contrail formation.
It has been found that by rerouting aircraft away from certain parts of the atmosphere you can prevent contrail formation.
This rerouting has a negligible fuel impact in the order of hundreds of percent with a massive atmospheric warming reduction, in the order of tens of percent.
But how do you do that? Well, this is where this week's guest comes in. Adam Durant. Adam is the CEO of SATAVIA, a software company that has developed the atmospheric modelling and predictive tools required to proactively re-route aircraft to prevent contrail formation. And in turn eliminating huge portions of aviation's climate impact with technology available today.
If you have any questions about the future of artificial intelligence in aviation, or are wondering how you can use it in your aviation business, then visit deepskyai.com to get started on your AI journey.
