International Journal of Sustainable Aviation

Aims & Scope

IJSA handles a broad range of aviation-related issues with particular emphasis on environmental problems associated with sustainability.

Aviation is cited as one of the major sources of noise and air pollution and considered a prominent cause of global warming.

Future trends in aviation could constitute a major impediment to having sustainable development in economic, social and environmental perspectives.

Sustainable aviation is a long term strategy aiming to offer innovative solutions to the challenges facing the aviation industry.

Topics covered include: • Sustainable aviation; green aircraft and airlines • Environmental impacts: emissions/noise, global warming/climate change • Renewable energy sources; alternative/green aviation fuels • Propulsion technologies for aerospace vehicles • Combustion instabilities, innovative combustion technologies • Energy, exergy, performance analysis; flight and fluid mechanics • Energy recovery systems, alternative/renewable/clean energy technologies • Mathematical modelling, numerical/experimental methods, optimisation • Materials, measurement techniques and sensors • Life cycle design and life cycle assessment; cost efficiency; waste/recycling • Aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul; airworthiness, reliability/safety • Sustainable aircraft design, technological change, innovation, research and development • Strategic planning, governmental legislation, policy-making • Aviation management, fleet planning/scheduling; air traffic management; future air transport • Airport design, management, planning, development
