Viability Study of Ammonia as Aircraft Fuel for Airbus A320 with Integrated Carbon Fiber Structures

The aviation industry stands at a pivotal juncture in its quest for sustainability, driven by the imperative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change impacts. This paper introduces a novel design for an aircraft constructed from carbon fiber materials and powered by Ammonia fuel, marking a significant leap towards environmentally friendly aviation technology. The lightweight, high-strength characteristics of carbon fiber are leveraged to optimize the aircraft’s structural efficiency, significantly reducing its weight compared to traditional materials and thus enhancing fuel efficiency. The use of Ammonia, a carbon-free fuel, promises a revolutionary reduction in the aircraft’s carbon footprint by eliminating CO<inf xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</inf> emissions during flight, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges faced by the aviation sector.
