Department: Aviation Engineering
The workshop in brief:
The workshop supports SDG 13 – Climate Action by exploring the effect of more efficient and responsible technical aviation practices. The emphasis will be on innovation in lightweight material, maintenance, braking system and the retraction mechanism leading to optimizing energy requirement and fuel consumption. It also promotes sustainable engineering approaches, encouraging participants to adopt design and maintenance practices that contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint within the aviation industry.
Objectives:
- Identify emerging climate-action tools applicable to aviation systems.
- Promote collaboration among researchers and industry to promote the development of low-emission, lightweight, and noise-reducing landing-gear solutions.
- Develop technologies for sustainable landing-gear integration, in a life cycle assessment approach to challenges in manufacturing, emissions, and operational performance
Participants: 18 Participants
Place: Tishk International University, Main Building – Room 124
Session topics:
Session one – Impacts and Solutions
Session two – Aircraft Landing Gear and SDG13 Climate Action
- Abdullateef – Aviation Eng. Dept. – TIU
- Dr. Soorkeu A Atrooshi – Aviation Engineering Dept. – TIU
Participants explored how innovations—such as lighter materials, improved aerodynamic designs, and sustainable maintenance strategies—can lower aviation’s environmental footprint.
It also focused on optimizing landing gear systems with advanced technologies leading to reducing drag, enhance energy efficiency, and improving reliability.
The workshop reinforced the link between engineering solutions and climate-responsible aviation development.
