As environmental concerns increasingly dominate public
consciousness, businesses are called upon to incorporate green
methods and processes into their operations strategy. The aviation
industry is no exception and is responsible for taking more actions
to reduce the negative environmental impact. Designing and
implementing a top-down strategy conscious of environmental impact
is a monumental challenge. Only with a full understanding of the
scientific and logistical hurdles can a green approach to airline
operations succeed. Airline Green Operations Strategies: Emerging
Research and Opportunities is an essential publication that
examines methods of managing and limiting harmful waste and
emissions from airlines and supports the adoption of the most
effective green operation strategies, policies, and regulations by
airlines. Highlighting a broad range of topics including greenhouse
gases, noise management, and competitive priorities, this book is
ideally designed for executives, manufacturers, environmentalists,
policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students.
In 2000, the Fleet Air Arm Museum conservation team embarked on an
ambitious project to explore what remained of any original
paintwork and markings on its Second World War Corsair fighter
aircraft. The painstaking, inch-by-inch removal of a 1960s paint
layer from the whole aircraft slowly revealed that the entire
aircraft remained authentic and original in its 1940s wartime
condition. The detailed forensic approach allowed the valuable and
many unique details to be studied and preserved, enabling the team
to chart the aircraft's history from factory to end of Royal Navy
service. Thanks to new research, this updated edition of Corsair
KD431 contains new images and findings concerning the story of how
Lt Cdr Godfrey Woodbine-Parish returned from Ceylon in the Second
World War, and also the use of Brewster Aircraft components on
Goodyear factory-built aircraft.
