Research on Aircrafts Propelled by Alternative Fuels

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
