ICAO: New aircraft will face stricter environmental standards
Source: ICAO ICAO Council's decisions reflect commitment to decreasing noise and climate impact from international aviation New aircraft around the world, including next-generation supersonic jets, will soon be required to meet much more demanding environmental rules following the adoption of new technical standards by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council. Regarding subsonic aircraft, these more stringent ICAO standards have been developed to ensure the latest technologies are used in aircraft design to reduce aviation CO2 emissions and aircraft noise globally, directly supporting international climate and sustainability goals while fostering innovation in cleaner, quieter aircraft. The ICAO CO2 emissions standard was made 10% more stringent today and is applicable to new aircraft type designs as of 2031. In addition to [...]
