The Future of Flight
Overview
The aircraft industry is already taking steps to reduce its carbon footprint, but what could the future hold? In this project, APH partnered up with Adam Omar, a PhD student of Aircraft Design at Imperial College London, to present a vision of a cleaner, greener tomorrow for commercial flight.
This proposed hybrid-electric aircraft incorporates a number of breakthrough technologies to fulfil the role of a large-scale passenger jet, at a fraction of the carbon output.

Beverley Barden, Head of Marketing at APH says: "Hybrid-electric planes offer a promising way forward for cleaner flight, and it's an area of research the sector is already investing in. By creating these designs we wanted to spark a conversation, within the industry and beyond, about technologies that could help the transition from fossil fuel.
"These concepts might seem futuristic, but the technology is in development today – and it's exciting to imagine all the changes we'll see to commercial flight in the years ahead."
