On 28 and 29 November, Cranfield is hosting the Aviation and the Environment Conference. If you can’t make it to the event, or maybe just want to know more about the topics that will be covered, here’s how you can use your free Alumni Library Online (ALO) service to keep informed.
Many of the databases available to you free of charge via your ALO will have relevant material on topics such as sustainable aviation fuel, alternative propulsion, aircraft electrification and air traffic management, along with other key research areas associated with the global aviation and aerospace sector and the environmental science agenda.
Here are just a few examples of the materials you can read:
