Abstract
At the recent 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference last year, more than 140 countries pledged to achieve net-zero emissions to combat climate change. And in a dramatic appeal to attain sustainability in the skies, Europe’s Flightpath 2050 initiated a bold effort to reduce CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> emissions worldwide by 75%, NOx emissions by 90%, and the noise footprint by 60% by the midcentury mark.
