PROJECTS

This meeting was convened to discuss the next steps for Airbus as part of the Zero Emission
project. Three potential options are being evaluated to develop the future fleet of Airbus aircraft:
Fuel composition
Aerodynamic enhancements
Engine improvements

DISCUSSION ATTENDEES
Composition of Fuel: The assembly
