The Green Aviation Show will be taking place in June 2010, from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th. It is organized by the National Air and Space Museum on the grounds of Paris-Le Bourget airport, the exhibit is sponsored by the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) and its director, Patrick Gandil.
For the first time in the world, the Green Aviation Show proposes a flight demonstration program which, by focusing on electrical and non-motorised flight, has (almost) no environmental impact. The ‘emission free’ flying vehicles include:
• Solar dirigible balloon with hydrogen
• Electrical “Paramotor”
• Electrical and hydrogen microlight
• Light electrical aircraft, with hydrogen and/or solar system
• Glider
• Hang-glider
• Paraglider
• Electrical scale models
An aeronautical show that delves into the heart of this ecological challenge.
The Museum of Air and Space is testimony to the evolution of flying machines.
More than 60 exhibitors will be present in the Concord Lobby and on the Tarmac of the Air and Space Museum. The museum will transform itself in order to create a forum for aviation encounters and a laboratory of ideas. While the aeronautical sector continues efforts to reduce its environmental impact, the show has created an ideal platform to wrestle and create positive solutions to this growing dilemma.
The Green Aviation Show will present to the public, solutions currently in development: new materials, fuels and alternate motorizations (biofuels, motors Diesel, electric, muscular energies, and batteries to combustible…), operational improvements (fluidity of the traffic, management of the airports…). Organizations, workshops, lectures and a center R&D will set an educational tone.
The exhibit is sponsored by the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) and its director, Patrick Gandil, who anticipates that “this ‘green’ aviation exhibit at the Bourget will become a platform with a flight plan highlighting environmental enhancement with real positive impact”.
