Abstract

This chapter aims to discuss the relevant problems in sustainable aviation development and feature the scientists' solutions addressing these issues. The chapter highlights and discusses the relevant problems in sustainable aviation development; features the scientists' solutions addressing these issues, for instance, by using environmentally friendly aircraft engines, alternative energy sources, and materials; and discusses the likely results in the economy of this practice. The research conceptualizes and contributes to the novel literature on aviation area for supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in aviation area. Since the airline shipment continuously grows and is expected to become the fastest means among other modes of transport, it certainly brings environmental problems into view such as noise pollution, discarded fuels and emissions from burning, from both airplane and airport operational activities. These have been underlying issues demanding constant effort for energy, natural, and ecological experts.

2. Current Challenges In The Development Of Aviation Industry

The primary negative implication from the aviation industry firstly came from its operational activities, which cause air contamination, noise pollution and contribute to global climate change (Hoang et al., 2022). In the European Union (EU), these impacts result in economy deficiency, which adversely affects the life quality of most European communities. While there are still common reasons to support aircraft transporting (such as freedom, mobility, prestige, etc.), these advantages which are taken for granted need to be considered carefully due to the escalating challenges that aviation currently brings to the human communities (Minh Quyen & Vu, 2019). These challenges are significant and have delivered adverse effects to both the environment and also human health (Hoang C.V, et al., 2021a). Loud noises from the industry cause problems to physical and psychological health and disturb learning. Furthermore, millions of people who live near an airport must endure excessively high noise levels.
