The session examine s a fundamental misconception in aviation: that commercial aircraft fly mi nimum fuel routes. In reality\, aircraft operate on economically optimum r outes that balance the competing costs of fuel consumption and flight time . The webinar investigates the practical implications of altitude changes\ , speed adjustments\, and atmospheric characteristics on fuel requirements when implementing contrail avoidance strategies under real operational co nditions. The presentation will provide insights into how airlines can pot entially manage contrails whilst maintaining economic efficiency. This web inar is free to attend for both Royal Aeronautical Society members and non -members. It forms part of the RAeS's charitable mission to share aerospac e knowledge\, inspire future professionals\, and promote understanding of aviation across the wider community. The session will be delivered by Prof essor Ian Poll\, Emeritus Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Cranfield University\, who brings over 50 years of experience in aeronautics. Profes sor Poll has held numerous prestigious positions\, including RAeS Presiden t (2001) and President of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sc iences (2008-10). He has served on several Government Advisory Committees and is an Honorary Fellow of the AIAA and ICAS. The webinar is part of a b roader Greener by Design series running through November 2026\, covering t opics including hydrogen for fuel cell aircraft\, sustainable aviation fue l mandates\, and UK trials for contrail management.

Up to 70% of emissions reductions will come from SAF use by 2050 in Europe and the UK. This webinar examines what aspe cts of SAF mandates are working\, what needs to be improved and what else needs to be implemented to accelerate the production of SAF.\nThe event fe atures Jonathon Counsell\, Group Sustainability Director at International Airports Group. Jonathon holds a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Imperial College London and an MBA from INSEAD Fontainebleau France. In July 2015\, he became group head of sustainability for the Internation al Airlines Group\, overseeing sustainability strategy across five airline s: Aer Lingus\, British Airways\, Iberia\, Level and Vueling. In January 2 025\, Jonathon was appointed IAG Group Director of Sustainability. He was also appointed as a member of the UK government's Jet Zero Task Force expe rts group in December 2024. In 2024\, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Cranfield University for his outstanding and sustained contribution to embedding sustainability across the aviation sector\, and in 2025\, he received the Air League's President's Meritorious Service Award for his ti reless dedication and commitment to sustainability and nurturing the next generation of talent.

This webinar examines how Asia's abundant waste lipid resources can bridge the gap thro ugh integrated supply chains\, exploring the technical\, regulatory and co mmercial frameworks needed to connect feedstock-rich regions with Europe's growing SAF production capacity.\nThis webinar is part of the Greener by Design Series and features expert speakers including Grazvydas Bajoras\, D irector of iFuel Ltd and Board Advisor to Sharpagroup LLC (Netherlands)\, and David Arinze\, Managing Director of Sharpagroup LLC (Netherlands)\, wh o is developing a 215\,000 mM HEFA SAF production plant in Europe.

This webinar focuses on verifying contrail mitiga tion at an airspace scale to determine what level of observationally verif ied contrail mitigation is possible under the constraints of airspace with minimal disruption to both ANSPs and operators.\nThe session features Pau l Hodgson\, Google Technical Lead for Operation Blue Skies\, who leverages AI forecasting and observational systems to demonstrate contrail avoidanc e at an airspace scale. Dr Hodgson also serves as Technical Fellow at cont rails.org and a teaching Bye-Fellow at Churchill College\, Cambridge. His background includes a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of C ambridge\, where he subsequently led the Aviation Impact Accelerator as Te chnical Director at the Whittle Laboratory\, developing system models to h elp industry and policymakers map the path to climate-neutral aviation. Hi s research and development experience spans energy and climate technologie s across academia and industry\, including sustainable aviation\, biofuel production\, carbon capture and hydrogen systems.\nThis webinar is part of the RAeS Greener by Design Series\, a comprehensive programme examining v arious aspects of sustainable aviation\, including contrail management\, h ydrogen fuel cells\, SAF mandates and supply chain logistics.
