The Return of Supersonic

This session exploring NASA’s Quesst mission sees us enter the climb phase and think about what the Flightpath to the Future could look like. NASA's Quesst mission has two goals:

1) Design and build NASA's X-59 research aircraft with technology that reduces the loudness of a sonic boom to a gentle thump; and

2) Fly the X-59 over several U.S. communities to gather data on human responses to the sound generated during supersonic flight and deliver that data set to U.S. and international regulators.

A discussion will follow the presentation where we explore what the return of supersonic will mean for specifically for airports.

Pathway to Net Zero

As the FORUM23 flight continues climbing, this session explores challenges around future airspace modernization. Airspace Navigation Service Providers shoulder the responsibility of determining flight paths for aircraft. Modernizing airspace to accommodate the growing capacity demands poses a substantial challenge for ANSPs, as they look to balance environmental impact with operational efficiency. Within these challenges, the enroute sectors stand out as they account for the most significant fuel consumption and play a pivotal role in the aviation industry's carbon footprint.

Learn about NAV CANADA’s approach to address these challenges, which involves a blend of cutting-edge technology and industry proficiency to gauge their operational performance aligned with CANSO standards and their environmental impact.

The second part to this session will explore Toronto Pearson’s perspective on the initiative, as they look to optimize operational efficiency and drive passenger satisfaction.

Noise & Flight Track Reporting

As we make our final approach, we delve into reporting on noise and flight track data and explore additional ways you can extract value. Static reports are out-of-date the moment they are generated, and don’t always give stakeholders the important information they need. This session will discuss how live data and dashboards can address this.

Public scrutiny around the changes that airports need to make to add capacity, build new infrastructure, change routes, add new airlines, and introduce new aircraft types is intense, informed, and relentless. As we descend towards our destination, turn your in-flight entertainment back on and tune in to this panel discussion exploring alternative approaches to building community advocacy and collaborating with stakeholders, including stories and lessons around what has worked well and what has not.
