Global climate change poses major challenges for the aviation industry for the coming decades. This is compounded by rising passenger demand projections. In response to these challenges, aviation stakeholders focus on research of novel aircraft technologies and novel designs, that could be possible game changers with regards to aircraft technology. The advancements are not only at domain level or at novel vehicle/technology aspects, but also at operational, fleeting and energy mix aspects which could translate towards net-zero aviation. To consider a broader holistic system of systems perspective of all these areas, aviation impact assessment expanded from classic aircraft design to a global fleet level assessment incorporating global flight operations. This study evaluates the impact of emerging aircraft technologies and designs on reducing global energy consumption in aviation. By employing a comprehensive fleet network methodology, we project future global fleet compositions and operations, the research analyses efficiency improvements across various routes, coupled with varying entry-into-service timelines, and operational scenarios. This is complemented by using linear fleet optimization techniques and a statistical aircraft retirement approach, to model fleet turnover. Such an approach enables a dynamic multilevel assessment of the impact of disruptive aircraft technologies-vehicle-operational strategies together from a system-of-systems perspective, reflecting the interplay between technology advancement, fleet integration timing, and overall operational improvements.
