GEPC Trends

• Over the past year, interest in alternative fuels, energy efficiency and the environment has grown substantially.

• Numerous conferences had “green” as a central theme, including JPC, Inside Aerospace, NASA’s Green Aviation Summit, and many more.

• Coordinating the AIAA activities to ensure all areas are addressed, while minimizing overlap, will remain a key challenge for GEPC.
