Reducing the impact of aviation on the environment and climate requires insight and analysis to inform the creation and development of less harmful approaches and technologies. The environmental science and aerospace engineering communities should therefore be closely aligned to ensure that future technologies address the most pressing needs without disturbing other environmental systems. With this in mind, Communications Engineering, Communications Earth & Environment, and Scientific Reports are joining together in a call for papers towards a collection on the topic of Cleaner Flight. Our collection will offer insights into the environmental impacts of aviation, along with technological design, operational and infrastructure solutions to mitigate aviation’s future environmental footprint.
