Signal's description

(approx. 150 words)

Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)

Great efforts in research aim at developing the usage of alternative fuels in aeronautics. A wide spectrum of classical solutions as plant oils, synthetic fuel, or even radical ones like organic materials may lead to several positive impacts on economy, politics and nature.

Keywords

alternative fuels, aircraft propulsion. aeronautics, research, fuel

Signal's first apperance

2005-now

Signal's potential evolution

It could lead to...

	issue	type of issue/development	potential impact on society	timeframe for the issue to become at least 50% probable
#1	WI: all aircrafts are propelled by alternative fuel	new/emerging	beneficial	now-2050

Under what assumption the Weak Signal might evolve.

improved research conditions in this area; better funding of ongoing, promosing projects
