Master of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics - Aerospace, Energy and the Environment
在麻省理工學院
關於課程
A defining challenge for aerospace in the 21st century is understanding and reducing air travel’s environmental impacts. With air travel demand forecast to double or triple by mid-century, meeting this will require major advances in aerospace vehicle technologies, changes to the air transportation system, reimagining the energy sources and carriers used in aviation, and reshaping of our regulatory and policy frameworks. For example, if aviation is to halve its climate impacts by mid-century while growing at projected rates, there will need to be an approximately 80% reduction in the climate intensity of flying.
Aviation is a unique sector in terms of its environmental challenges because it is the only human-made source of pollution emitted at altitude. These emissions give rise to phenomena that are currently thought to double (or more) their climate impact relative to the same emissions at ground level. To know what changes to make to the aviation system, we need to better understand how aviation impacts the environment. This applies not only for aircraft that are in or entering service but for potential new aircraft – perhaps even supersonic aircraft at high altitudes that may give rise to stratospheric ozone depletion. Beyond commercial aviation, the growth in satellite and manned launches also raises the potential for environmental challenges associated with rocket emissions.
