The current rapid technological change identifies the evolution of people’s transportation as one of the primary effects. Hybrid-electric propulsion reveals potential advantages, including fuel savings, lower pollution, and reduced noise emissions. It is becoming a viable alternative propulsion technology for ground and marine applications and the aviation sector. Hybrid-electric propulsion systems can meet the high demands of next-generation aircraft in terms of lower operating costs, economy, and fuel efficiency while maintaining high flight performance. Introducing similar disruptive technologies requires an evolution of the traditional certification approach and associated means of compliance. Even if it starts with evaluating a hybrid propulsion system, the proposed process can also be adopted in other areas where disruptive technologies need to be adopted, such as H2 fuel systems and active wings, to summarize some potential applications. The Certification Approach for Disruptive Technologies adopts a top–down process, reversing and mixing the usual certification approach currently used for aircraft. It is based on a safety assessment fully integrated into the system’s development. The result of this process will consist of a list of gaps in certification requirements, their classification based on gap solution impact, and proposals to close those gaps.

The area of Naples and Campania region, in Italy, has been experiencing the dramatic consequences of diffuse open burning of illegal waste, resulting in possible threats to human health. The need of evaluating a risk index of open burning rises from this emergency where it is important quantify the risk to support local stakeholder to intervene timely and effectively order and to prioritize the interventions. Nevertheless, open burning phenomenon is still uncontrolled all over the world, and implies not only impacts on health at local level but emission of pollutants in the atmosphere. A deep understanding can support policy makers in order to prevent risky behaviours and to mitigate the severity of their occurrences. The risk model related to open burning is still an open issue, and the attempt to model the probability of its occurrence is completely new. This paper proposes a model for the evaluation of risk of illegal waste open burning in Campania enabling the identification of the priority of intervention in order to optimize the available resources. In detail, it defines a layered and seamless approach to evaluate the related impact at different levels of accuracy leveraging on reference guidelines.

The growing need to reduce aviation’s carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels has prompted the exploration of alternative propulsion technologies. Fuel cell (FC) systems offer a sustainable solution, generating only water vapor as a by-product. This paper presents a conceptual study, focusing on subsystem integration and safety aspects, for an 80-passenger, hydrogen-powered aircraft developed within the European Union (EU) co-funded NEWBORN (NExt generation high poWer fuel cells for airBORNe applications) Project. The designed configuration incorporates wing-mounted pods housing fuel cells, an electric motor, an inverter, a Thermal Management System (TMS), and Balance of Performance (BoP). This configuration is an effort towards environmentally friendly solutions, addressing climate change and paving the way towards greener aviation.
