the left side to side together. nick always talks about community life on the research is now on the feel like flying off to some far away place. you won't be sort on company with air travel, bouncing back to pre po with levels. welcome news for airlines and the aircraft production secretary. but that boom can also mean manufacturers being over eager to meet demand for more plans but started our turnaround times. 2 also in this edition, the clean and quiet and aircraft powers of power storing fees and energy, clever and sustainable recyclable packaging.

a nightmare scenario as an aircraft loses one of its doors and mid flight. but what looks like a hollywood disaster movie was a real life event on board and alaska airlines, boeing 737 max. it's maker, one synonymous with innovation and reliability, finds itself out across roads. it's way too long. i think at this point, the amount of time that this company has been having problems exceeds the amount of time that it spends not having problems, whether you had a disconnect between very senior management and the people who actually build and design and create planes. that situation probably began in the mid to thousands and then kept going into $4010.00. today's problems began years ago when boeing started

outsourcing production in the interests of cost cutting and deficiency. good news for stockholders, perhaps, but for the company, it meant a seismic shift and a change in philosophy. they used to do a manufacturing entirely. and then they gradually got away from it, and now they don't do much manufacturing at all. they're in assembler, boeing decided, rather than grow itself 10 times over to meet the 10 times over need for airplanes. they 10 times over, they subcontracted and off shore. the work and global demand for aircraft continues to rise. airlines will need almost an additional 41000 planes by 2042 to cover those needs. boeing suppliers are sprayed all over the world. a strategy employed

to enhance production capacity. but many experts attributes a recent incidents to poor communication and supervision. if you started your suppliers, they don't have the resources needed to get the job done. and again, managerial bandwidth. i'm not sure that senior executives at boeing were spending the time necessary with the suppliers to determine how healthy they were. and boeing knows it's hardly the sole option on the market. you're seeing a market shift away from boeing and towards air bus, unless boeing changes in air buses. going to be number one for a very long time. so basically for air bus, it's just a question of ramping up to 2 thirds of the market. they may be 75 percent of the market. united airlines might be canceling orders for the boeing $737.00 max, and switch to air bus. but with both manufacturers, having full order books for the next 10 years,

even if carolines wanted to switch to air bus, can they afford to go to the back of the queue? they need to be able to look at some quick victories like new orders, planes that work planes that don't fall out of the sky or other door. ready blown out boeing is currently benefiting from the market situation. what's missing now is perhaps investing more care in the assembly of its airplanes. everyone knows that air traffic is bad for the climate. producing 3 percent of c o 2 emissions and condensation trails and that's bigger, moves up to 5 percent. hold off powering all those plans with electric motors like a growing number of cars. until now we've been told that the batteries were too heavy or 2 weeks. but promising new developments mean there's hope on the horizon.

this is no ordinary aircraft preparing for take off in the us state of washington. it's powered by 2 electric motors, which means that flights have 0 emissions and are quiet. alice can carry 9 passengers plus baggage, or just over one ton of cargo. it has a range of 400 kilometers for the man at the helm of the company that built alice. this electric plane is hopefully the start of a revolution in aviation. half of all of the world air traffic is actually made of flights that are 500 nautical miles or less. but a full 20 to 30 percent is 250 nautical miles per less. so it means that there's a tremendous market for alice and its capabilities. deviation has been inundated with orders and inquiries since the successful maiden voyage. in september 2022, with alice securing over $5000000000.00 and contract. that's lurching business is

also due to the growing weight of climate and environmental issues. and not just since the fridays for future movement hit the headlines for years and now the aviation industry has been facing growing criticism and pressure. so with airlines around the world stepping up efforts to become more energy efficient and climate friendly, alice has arrived right on time sort, whole evasions. dirty little secret is that it's actually the most polluting form of, of travel in the world. so carbon dioxide per passenger mile from a short hall flight is again, this is that as it gets with alice, we're taking that and completely inverting it. uh, because with alice there are no specific emissions. nothing comes out of the airplane. nope, nope, no carbon, no exhaust and very little noise and aircraft with 0 emissions and minimal noise is certainly an attractive prospect for cargo operators such as d, a show. the logistics giant has a fleet of several 100 planes,

syrian packets and parcels around the world by its inter continental network of air hubs. stephanie low to is in charge of global air fleet planning a d h l l is, was an immediate no brainer for her. not least with joe having committed to making operations carbon neutral by 2050 ls essentially comes with a range of 460 kilometers and a painter of 1200 killers. um, so it equates to the smallest theda aircraft that we operate in our network today. and so it's not do it fits, we don't have to think about it. we can simply deploy it where the fuel bonding aircraft flys today and this was fly in future. everything else stays the same. jo, primarily use those smaller aircraft for flights in the us. and the caribbean,

where they connect the big air hubs with smaller local airports. in such a remote area is that electric aircraft post them major advantage due to both 0 emissions and above all minimal noise pollution. an issue that as in many cases led to nights like bands, stephanie last year at least wasted no time getting d h l on board. the company is already ordered 12 carbo versions of atlas schedule to take to the skies in 2027. the most logical set price was to deploy alice, where it got certified name in the united states that uh, 2 of our regional hops in the states. one of the uh, the los angeles area, the other one in california. the other one is in uh, georgia. uh, atlanta, georgia. beckett aviation headquarters in arlington, in the state of washington. the team are currently discussing new improvements to atlases engines, customers, requests,

and requirements. i've been constantly fed into the evolution of alice, so ceo, gregory davis, and having a heavy weight like del seeing the aircraft and potential use a head of it certification has been a real boon. having the tell come in as, as one of our launch, customers actually demonstrated not, not just to ourselves but also to the marketplace that there is a real interest in this aircraft in, in the, in the applications that we're designing it for. and we've been able to leverage that relationship, not just for the learning, but also to help you know, expand our market presence. and that's helped us build up to what is now a ordered book of $5000000000.00, which is the view flight in 2022 was also the big take off for her maker. there is no end in sight to the queue of new clients and our growing number of investors interested in the technology. a steve green had years of experience testifying new planes for boeing before he joined deviation and electric

aircraft. he says is a very different beast and not just because the motors respond far faster than conventional kerosene powered engines, but with the wider world shares enthusiasm. that's interesting. are people afraid of transitioning to an electric aircraft? i would, i would think the public is ready for it. i mean, you see all the electric vehicles that are out on the market. the auto industry is a whole going to electric. i think you're gonna see a lot more of the acceptance from, you know, just vehicles on the ground cars to aircraft. it's just the ones people are exposed to that. i think the comfort level goes up. a decisive factor in the prospects for electric aircraft like ours will be the batteries. technical improvements would give the planes a longer range and higher payload and therefore a wider scope of deployment to it's kind of it's form fitting the batteries. these

panels come off in are modular, they just go right underneath from here. all the way to here is, are the batteries. you have a left side, you have a right side. just clamp shows and this is covers those right over the top of them . that's the high voltage system, which is running your engines right back there. and the battery charging times i've gotten shorter. heat now takes just 30 minutes to provide enough power to reach the next destination on the plains, multi stop daily schedule. how does it take to fuel and airplane about the size? you're still looking at about a 10 or 15 minute evolution. you know, you still are here. you're still pulling the truck up grounding. you go to each individual tank or you have a pressure of a single pressure point that you to apply fuel to. it takes a while to fuel on airplane. it's a very exciting time is getting battery development. we see new technologies that are coming on or, or offering quite promising boosts to the energy density of the batteries going

from 275 waters to kilogram to 375 to even 500. and these are cells that exist today development that joe is following closely better batteries, leading to an increase in aircraft size range and maximum load would also enable an expansion of the electric flight network. aviation chief gregory davis is expecting demands to continue growing steadily and is already preparing to take production of alice to the next level. now, remember that cute little duracell bunny for just kept on going where rivals ran out of do? a classic example of competition driving developments towards smaller dimensions. the bigger performance. more recently, a new kind of battery has been developed with completely different access materials . they're solid instead of liquids,

which could mean no more leaky batteries. ever heard of solid state batteries? solid steep batteries are similar to conventional lithium varieties except they contain no liquid elements. they are less flammable and combine of longer range with shorter charge time kind of a holy grail. in battery development. scaling a production would take us into a new era of electro mobility, solid state batteries can store more energy than regular lithium ion versions with the same size. this can translate into phone longer operational times for both the vehicles and smartphones. the dream for automakers is a 1000 kilometer plus range with a charging time of just 10 minutes. but why do we need them? traditional batteries need to be pretty big to be able to power something. the size

and weight of a card. temperature fluctuations can caused them to swell or start leaking. the liquid inside them is highly flammable. plus they charged slowly and to have unlimited life span. making them less ideal for using e cars or medical equipment like pacemakers. despite there's a massive investment developers have yet to create a solid state battery for a commercially affordable price. the manufacturing technique is highly advanced. to the development work, the data has been in the lab. so just how difficult it will be to replicate that on a large scale is unclear. it involves expensive materials and a complicated production process. susceptibility to cracking is another issue affecting the live spans of solid state batteries. but if researchers do make the breakthrough, they'd have the potential to become the new standard in batteries. a

wind farm supply energy to but when stormy weather produces excessive amounts of power, the turbines are turned off. one solution here would be a special storage system that supplies energy and fees for both industry and people . so when you complete, this will be the largest high temperature energy storage system on the planet capacity. 20000 kilowatt hours. the steel at the heart of the unit has a number of advantages over conventional batteries. bestbuy have medium stock, the steel, we use the storing energy is available worldwide face and it contains no rest substances and didn't talk sickle hazardous either. so there are no extra factors to take into account the fab. the energy or the electricity to be precise,

is harvested by a wind turbines. it's used to keep the steel to temperatures of up to 650 degrees celsius. heat can if required, be released to generate steam, which is then used to power machines. for example, in this case, right next to the storage facility at an organic food supplier that is eager to make production more sustainable. because fluid on it might sound weird needing stain while making frozen goods, but for blanching or painting vegetables beforehand, we use a steam p low freedom and generating steam involves extremely high temperatures. visit for tons of to an industrial strength shall come. these residential blocks in berlin have been getting their energy needs from a steal storage system. since 2020 the system supplies $400.00 households with warm water one month when converting electrical energy into heat so that we

have an efficiency right above a 90 percent rising on vehicle scottsdale is i'm going to send. so it's a very effective method for generating heat from electrical energy and then putting the energy to use them. it's outside once does it may be done by that symbol. but do these facilities make a long term financial sense? the new super sized one will cost 5 to 7000000 euros right now in germany. it would be cheaper to carry on using natural gas to generate steam, which is why the operator source has its own low price of electricity we might get from. but we want to buy energy directly from a nearby wind farm. and i'm going park, which would also be building a photovoltaic system on top of our new building building, which will allow me produce some $1.00 megawatts, the noise devoid of, of the alignment. and so our storage unit is ideal for photo voltag facilities for to talk number is not so this is owned by

a e d r. and if operators don't have their own electricity supply, the still energy storage concept is only slowly getting off the ground. although demand in countries with a lot of industry is massive. yeah, they're just invest naina. see also a few available industry consumes a lot of the energy of cost. stop on that for me for us here. and we need to phase out the fossil fuels that to the, the other lose a symbol of storage is ideal for taking electrical energy at times when we come to use it and making it available later. the industry looks by muscle in the sale of puts as a steel energy storage facilities could play a key role in countering the climate crisis. subsidies for green electricity would help to make the technology more established. although in germany, at least those subsidies have so far failed to materialize. a

there's an art to wrapping something up nice place on hacking something less though, even if it's fun. packaging, meanwhile, is more of a science, especially with the extra dimension of making it sustainable. and recyclable eco friendly solutions might require some out of the box banking and turning things on their head. this is a catch up bottle from kraft tines. and this is, it's cat. the company says it will soon be fully recyclable. big bottled, fully recyclable, replacing the simple part supposedly took $45.00 prototypes and 8 years. that's according to the company, all for a kitchen funnel. this is the new world of packaging, where companies are reinventing the very 1st impression on customers, all while ensuring that their new packaging works as well as the old one. use of

look at the difficult decisions behind sustainable packaging. images like these are upsetting plastic trash in the ocean on land, in some cases, plastics exported from wealthy or countries to pour ones. and in addition to being an eyesore plastic is a major climate problem, primarily due to its fossil fuel based production. and it's packaging, that's the single largest source of plastic demand. industries survey, show consumers want their products to be more sustainable at to preserve bio diversity. sustainability does it to make certain companies roll it up. a velocity has advised companies unsustainable packaging, makes those companies draw confined applications where their substrate piece the better solution. experts say that for major brands like kraft tines nestle, or amazon, whoever is involved in a burden,

they are spending to replace one type of packaging with another without a promise of more sales. and this is not as simple as swapping out packaging. for one, there are loads of different materials to choose from, even within plastics. there's a variety of types. there's polyethylene, tara family, or p, t common for bottles, some hold your flu, others your whatever that is. our ketchup bottle is made out of the plastic. this original squeeze cap is made out of a different plastic called polypropylene, probably properly, and it's technically recyclable and it's quite popular in food packaging. quite something that is, is not new. so it's been used quite a lot. adam harriet is a plastics expert at british packaging and waste advocate wrap. so a lot of times you use it and things like, um, especially food packaging, cisco very good oxygen barrier on this, you get them. and so what types of bots are in marjorie?

no ice cream tubs. so what was the problem with the original catch up cap? if it's already recycled? there's a 2nd material inside. look here, this small part with the catch up comes out that's flexible silica then that makes the cat harder to recycle. the issue is really the small valve crystal volume was the ceo of being peak reality, which works with firms on sustainable packaging. so they said, okay, we need it. we need to have a model material. we need just pony problem because when you look at, for example, white color packaging made of poly properly and for example, this is highly recyclable as a model materials. so swapping out that one small valve makes recycling the entire product much easier. but there was a risk factor, america's favorite catch up and give it a squeeze. we anytime to please. just

right on the spot. we have some aspect of the packaging which are really important for the consumer. and you know, bringing the catch up on the right place on your plate. this is very, very important in order to retain that function with a new materials craft times re engineer of the cap entirely. and file these patterns, documents for the dollar ton closure. it comprises 2 pieces of polypropylene and supposedly works just as well as the old design graph tides isn't the only company going through this process. look at your mil carton or juice box. that's what's known as the septic packaging. tetra pack is one of the most well known brands and that's the minimum layer inside keeps out oxygen and light. but aluminum is problematic for greenhouse gases. now tetra pack says it's trying to replace that barrier. let's say that you've managed to create

a package that is technically 100 percent recyclable. now you can recycle it and get the material back, right? cutting your cost a circular economy, but that's easier said than done. one big issue with sorting. another is that help rules to limit the use of recycled plastics for food rate plastics. here just south of mexico city is look at industry's best efforts to be plastic. more circular and advanced recycling center run by the is based company greenback. right next to a land, so there's plenty of material to work with. and plenty of labor to help with the initial sorting. greenback is working with major brands like nestle to take recyclable plastics out of the surrounding environment. offsetting what nestle has pumped in the material is broken down by having to form a liquid plastic resin that's used to create new packaging. in other words, we're not trying to recycle caustic and park benches, but we're trying to create

a full supplier to. phillip french dolphin berg is the ceo of greenback as company space, more pressure to show their recycling their plastic support that they're using recycled plastics. they could in theory, turn to companies like this. young firms like greenback can still struggle with defined investment. the hope is that growing pressure on industry will grow this market in the years to come. pre gaining recycling economies is difficult and expensive. we use long efforts to create recyclable packaging may actually be the easy part. one thing is clear, the pressure for better reno packaging is growing, and it's unlikely to slow down any time soon. the best fit for this position has made you enjoy this clean and green journey of
