Energy Efficiency in Air Transportation explores the relationship between air transportation and energy use, starting with an analysis of air transport energy sources and their potential development. The book examines how different elements of the air transport system make use of energy, with an analysis of various methods for optimizing energy consumption. The book covers the consequences of energy use in terms of economics, environmental impact and sustainable development, with a review of the existing and proposed regulatory measures addressing those factors.
Aeronautical and air transport engineers interested in aerial vehicle systems design, as well as public administrators and regulators concerned with energy efficiency or environmental issues in air transport, will benefit greatly from this comprehensive reference, which captures necessary background information along with the newest developments in the field.

Doctor Aeronautical Engineer (U. Politécnica de Madrid), Graduate
in Journalism (Escuela Oficial de Periodismo de Madrid) and
Graduate in Civil Aviation Management (London Business School).
From 1970-2006, Prof. Benito has worked for Construcciones
Aeronáuticas, S.A, (now Airbus-Spain) and for IBERIA, Airlines of
Spain.
Currently, Prof. Benito is Head of the Air Transport Department in
the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, a member of the Board of Air
Business Academy (Toulouse) and ICAO consultant for Air Transport
subjects. He is a member of the European Union Clean Sky 2
Scientific Committee and the X-Noise Advisory Board programs.
Nowadays he is an Advisor of Spanish Civil Aviation Authority on
Environmental matters and represents Spain in WG3 (emissions) and
GMTF (Market Based Measures) of ICAO’s Committee on Aviation
Environmental Protection (CAEP). Dr. Alonso is currently a
Professor and Deputy-Director at Technical University of Madrid,
Faculty of Aerospace Engineering (ETSIAE/UPM). He lectures at
graduate and post-graduate levels on various topics such as Air
Transport Management and Aerospace Engineering. He is also involved
in the organization and management of different courses and
seminars and a visiting professor at several Universities.
"If you are looking for a great introduction to energy efficiency and the aviation industry, then you’ve found it with this book. ...Other books on this topic can be overwhelming with pages full of equations, so this book is refreshing in its brevity while somehow still being very comprehensive." --Aerospace
