There’s the hydrogen-powered Dash 8 aircraft, and then the Bombardier EcoJet, which has just successfully completed its initial flight testing phase using a blended-wing-body model. The full-sized prototype aims to reduce aircraft emissions by up to 50% through a combination of aerodynamic and propulsion enhancements.
Aside from Bombardier’s EcoJet research project, the company has taken several actions as part of its roadmap toward sustainable aviation. For starters, Bombardier published Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for its Challenger 3500, Global 5500, Global 6500 and Global 7500 aircraft these past three years. Plus, Bombardier also utilizes Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), at a 30% blend, to reduce the annual greenhouse gas emissions associated with fuel used in flight operations by about 25%.

Bombardier has taken a leadership position in the industryโs efforts to reduce its environmental footprint, and the EcoJet research project is paramount to developing the technologies that will bring us toward the goal of net zero emissions by 2050. We are very pleased to see the highly engaging results yielded so far and to continue our trailblazing work as we kick off the next phase of this game-changing research project,” said Stephen McCullough, Senior Vice President of Engineering and Product Development.
