Solutions for a Cleaner Aviation
Building a more sustainable aviation
01. Partnership
Clean and profitable solutions in aviation
The Solar Impulse Foundation and its partner Air France are seeking efficient solutions in aviation. The Partnership will identify and promote technologies which positively impact the reduction in carbon emissions, waste and noise. All of these clean, efficient and economically feasible solutions will be made available to the aviation industry to build a more sustainable future and Air France will implement those which are relevant to its activities.
