The aviation industry is constantly looking to improve its efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint while meeting the growing demand for air travel. The aviation industry intends to save energy by using cutting-edge materials like Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP), graphene, and additive manufacturing processes. These innovative materials and production methods offer great promise for enhancing the sustainability of air travel by reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. On the other hand, achieving optimal aircraft operation can be a complex process, but it all comes down to one thing: ratios. The thrust-to-weight, buy-to-weight, and strength-to-weight ratios are carefully considered to ensure energy saving and flight safety. This chapter provides information about the positive impact of CFRP, graphene materials, and additive manufacturing on the thrust-to-weight ratio, buy-to-weight ratio, and strength-to-weight ratio and how they can contribute to a greener aviation industry.
