Could a plane crash from turbulence? Which type is the most dangerous? We asked pilots | UK News
admin
Experts believe turbulence is getting worse and, due to climate change, that trend is expected to continue. Professor Paul Williams, an atmospheric scientist and co-author of the first global study into climate change’s impact on turbulence, warned last year that unless something is done to counter climate change, flights will only become increasingly disturbed by…

Crash landing for dream of ‘guilt-free flying’? Scientists find no clear green alternative to jet fuel | Climate News
admin
The quest for guilt-free flying may have been knocked off course by a broad study that has concluded there is “no clear or single net zero alternative to jet fuel”. The four most viable alternatives “offer some carbon savings but are not ideal”, according to the review by the Royal Society academy of scientists. Replacing…
