Preface

Environmental problems such as air pollution and global warming have started to be one of the main factors in the design and development of new vehicles. Using fossil fuels and inefficient power producing technologies have increased these problems. These fossil fuels will also be depleted in the near future. Therefore, there is a need to develop more efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical alternative technologies to be implemented in vehicles to create a sustainable future and meet the consumer demands for tomorrow. Among the different types of vehicles, aerial vehicles have a significant contribution in today’s global problems. Not only aircrafts but also airports have serious effects on the pollution and other environmental impacts in aviation industry. The emissions released to the atmosphere from these vehicles and airports not only cause environmental problems but also threaten the human health as a result of the consequences of these problems. On the
