Description

Collaboration between the fed. gov’t. and the aviation industry has led to reductions in aviation emissions (AE), but growing air traffic has partially offset these reductions. Various fed. agencies are working to increase the efficiency, safety, and capacity of the nat. airspace system and at the same time reduce AE, in part, by transforming the current air traffic control system to the Next Generation Air Transp. System (NextGen). This effort involves new technologies and air traffic procedures that can reduce AE and incorporates R&D on emissions-reduction technologies. This testimony addresses: (1) the scope and nature of AE; (2) the status of selected key fed. efforts to reduce AE; and (3) next steps and challenges in reducing AE. Illustrations.
