What does a more sustainable aviation look like? Electrical machines and devices might be our future – both in the air and on the ground.
Clean Aircraft and Clean GSE: A Green Future
What Does a Recovery Look Like
COVID-19 isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Still aviation has many different possibilities to recover from this pandemic. Here are some of them.
Fleet Evolution-How a transition to cargo, and social distancing, will change the GSE landscape

The passenger air travel industry has changed significantly in the last couple of months. This might be the greatest understatement in history; global air travel is down about 65% in the 2nd quarter, and capacity will be down about 40% in the 3rd quarter, and up to 10% in the 4th quarter.
MRO Futures and Outlook Amid a Global Crisis
By now, we are all painfully aware of the COVID-19, commonly known as “Coronavirus”, which has been deemed a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March. Since then, the aviation market as a whole has, well, completely tanked to be perfectly honest. It was flying at a critical angle of attack, and now is in an unbroken stall, maybe even a spin. This is a critical and honest appraisal of the MRO industry, as well as associated support markets (namely GSE), and where they are headed by the numbers.
Coronavirus and Aviation: What to Expect
The global aviation market is feeling a heavy burden from the COVID-19 outbreak. Here’s an outlook of what’s to come.
How Emerging Technologies Will Change Ground Operations and MX
Aerospace is a technology-driven discipline which has largely been locked into archaic maintenance practices and technologies, practices which are largely unchanged over the course of the last six or seven decades. Visual inspections on aircraft which are roughly the length of a football field can take hours, and it is impossible to fully inspect the surface of the aircraft.
Aviation Trends 2020: The future is now
Like any industry, those in the aviation industry must adapt and improve every year to remain competitive, help passengers travel safely, increase profits, and streamline manufacturing and operations. However, as our society becomes more digitized in the 21st century, stakeholders in the industry must continue to adapt with them. You may use some of this technology today, but we believe some of the tips below will become more mainstream in the year to come.
Safety Principles of Operating Aircraft Tugs
Aircraft tugs are real modern marvels, moving aircraft weight hundreds of tons all day, every day. These movements come with very real risks every single time, and we are going to look at those now.
Military Specific Applications of Remotely Operated GSE
Remotely operated and autonomous ground support equipment (GSE), particularly aircraft tugs, represent a valuable alternative to traditional units. Military users have long been users of traditional GSE, but does this hamper operational requirements and demands?
The Unavoidable Transition to Electrical Power in Aviation
Whatever is accurate or inaccurate regarding fuel consumption and carbon footprints, a shift away from fossil fuels towards electrical power generation, whether total electrical power generation or hybrid power, is inevitable.
