Ansys' Sustainable Aviation Survey showcases consumer attitudes toward aviation's carbon footprint, the future of flight, and safety
PITTSBURGH, June 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 60% of consumers are worried about carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from aircraft and would pay more for greener air travel, according to a comprehensive consumer survey commissioned by Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS). Released today at the Paris Air Show, Ansys' Sustainable Aviation Survey also explores consumers' concerns with aviation-related air pollution as well as their expectations for next-generation air travel.
As global aviation leaders and organizations aim to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, aircraft manufacturers are embracing Ansys' leading-edge digital transformation technologies to develop more efficient aircraft, engines, and propulsion systems.
Of consumers polled in Ansys' survey, nearly 70% said they would be more likely to trust alternative fuel sources — sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), electric, hybrid-electric, or hydrogen-powered — if the technology was extensively simulated and tested using established methods applied to aircraft safety. Additional highlights of the survey include:
Sustainability"Consumer research is essential as the aviation industry transforms to meet the demands of consumers and needs of our planet," said Walt Hearn, senior vice president of worldwide sales and customer excellence at Ansys. "Ansys' simulation solutions not only help engineers build cleaner and smarter systems, but also help manufacturers establish trust with consumers. By virtually testing and verifying new technologies with simulation, aircraft manufacturers can demonstrate the viability of sustainable alternatives, build confidence where there is uncertainty, and expand the possibilities for next-generation air travel safely and efficiently."
Visit Ansys at the 2023 Paris Air Show in France from June 19-25 to learn more about simulation's impact in the aviation industry.
