Aeroplanes could be far better for the environment, create less noise and be safer for passengers thanks to the development of new software.
The programme FLIGHT, developed by a University of Manchester academic, can apparently predict the true level of emissions released and help the industry improve its environmental reputation – one of the issues about which it’s most criticised.
Dr Antonio Filippone, from the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering, said: “My method can show the improved routes – and help reduce fuel consumption and dangerous emissions. The software can lead to us having better and greener aircraft.’
