Capgemini and Ascendance are partnering to develop sustainable air travel, with a test flight scheduled for this year. Commercial airplanes are a significant contributor to global carbon dioxide emissions, with the aviation industry responsible for about 5% of global warming.

Ascendance's ATEA aircraft, utilizing the STERNA system, aims to reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% compared to traditional aircraft, with a goal of helping aviation reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Tech companies are propelling aviation into a bold new era, redefining aircraft design and opening fresh horizons in mobility.
