Sustainability in the Air – The Book

This book synthesizes rapidly evolving industry well, as someone closely tracking the eVTOL sector for the last four years. It was insightful in broadening anyone's understanding of aviation decarbonization. Given the breadth of technologies (electric, hydrogen, SAF); approaches (operational improvements, new propulsion, etc.); and variety of stakeholders (airlines, airports, OEMs, oil & gas) that is not an easy task.Shashank and Dirk have created a masterpiece!

This book is an enjoyable read about in-process ventures and personal journeys in the aerospace sustainability industry. Shashank and Dirk outline practical lessons for successful innovation and subsequent commercialization in their chapter summaries. In today's complex world, these lessons are even more crucial as they are applied alongside evolving inputs and models, with diverse stakeholders and talent. I highly recommend this inside view, which provides insights from the passionate doers who are architecting, implementing, and iterating these initiatives.
