Aim of this study is to assess the climate impact and economics of different energy carrier options such as fossil kerosene, sustainable aviation fuel and liquid hydrogen on aircraft design and the long-range market segment. Additionally, flight Mach number and maximum altitude are reduced to further identify climate impact saving potentials with regard to the direct operating costs.
