DESCRIPTION:How the combination of water and sunlight or wind\, alongside 
 cutting-edge innovation\, can fuel our future air travel and save the indu
 stry from an existential crisis.\n\nA quarter of the world's carbon emissi
 ons are predicted to come from the aviation sector in 2050. Alarmingly\, m
 ore than half of aviation’s climate impact is from non-carbon emissions 
 amplifying the sector's impact. Alternatives to combustion engines are cri
 tical if demand growth is to go in tandem with reduced climate impact\, bu
 t electrification is challenging compared to road transport due to the wei
 ght limitations and lifecycles of batteries.\n\nZeroAvia is therefore deve
 loping hydrogen-electric engines as the most practical\, economical\, and 
 furthest reaching solution for reducing aviation’s climate change and cl
 ean air impacts. Hydrogen-electric engines use hydrogen in fuel cells to g
 enerate electricity\, which powers electric motors to turn the aircraft’
 s propulsors. As well as the environmental benefits\, the falling cost of 
 hydrogen fuel and lower maintenance costs will allow airlines significant 
 operating cost reduction.\n\nIn this lecture\, Sergey Kiselev will address
  some of the key engineering challenges that ZeroAvia is addressing to unl
 ock this vital technology to power commercial green flights by 2025.\n\nRe
