In a collaborative effort between the United Kingdom and France, the Concorde was born. It was the world’s first supersonic commercial aircraft which was a cut above the rest and, perhaps, a few decades before its time. Having invested so much in building this revolutionary supersonic commercial aircraft, why did the Concorde fail?

Decarbonising The Aviation Sector: Electric vs Hydrogen Aircraft
We harnessed the power of flight more than a century ago when Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved the first powered, sustained and controlled aeroplane flight. Over time, this technology advanced allowing people to connect from all over the world fast than ever. However, this form of transport relies entirely on fossil fuels and that’s not a sustainable, long-term solution. If we are to succeed in decarbonising the aviation sector, we need another plan but will it be electric planes or hydrogen aircraft?

A few weeks ago we wrote about the Flying-V hydrogen jetliner concept that showed great promise for greener aviation. Well, if you thought that was impressive, wait until you see this new hybrid-electric plane concept. It can reportedly capture 95% of the plane’s harmful nitrogen oxide emissions using an emissions control system adaptation.
