Airbus-led ECLIF-X Campaign Studies Aviation Non-CO2 Emissions 2025-2027
The ECLIF-X campaign investigates how low-sulphur and low-aromatic fuels reduce contrail formation and non-CO2 emissions in aviation from 2025 to 2027.
This article is based on an official press release from Airbus.
In a closely coordinated chase across the sky, the aviation industry is taking aim at one of its most visible and complex climate challenges: condensation trails. While carbon dioxide emissions have long dominated sustainability discussions, recent scientific consensus highlights that non-CO2 emissions account for a significant portion of commercial aviation’s total climate warming impact.
To address this, Airbus, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney have launched ECLIF-X (Emissions and Climate Impact of alternative Fuels – X). According to an official Airbus press release, this joint research campaign utilizes a “flying laboratory” to investigate the effects of fuel composition on aviation’s non-CO2 impact.
Running from 2025 to 2027, the ECLIF-X campaign captures real-time data on how low-sulphur and low-aromatic fuels interact with advanced engine combustors. At AirPro News, we recognize this initiative as a critical step toward understanding and mitigating the formation of climate-warming contrails before new environmental regulations take full effect.
The methodology behind the ECLIF-X campaign involves two aircraft flying in tandem at cruising altitude. The “emitter” is an Airbus A321XLR test aircraft (registration MSN11058), powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM engines. Research reports indicate these engines are equipped with the TALON-X rich-burn combustor, a technology specifically designed to reduce soot emissions. During the tests, the A321XLR is flown with three different types of fuel to compare their respective emission profiles.
Following closely behind is the “sniffer,” DLR’s heavily instrumented Falcon 20E research aircraft. Drawing on over 30 years of atmospheric research expertise, DLR scientists pilot the Falcon 20E directly into the exhaust wake of the A321XLR.
Flying at distances of just 50 to 300 meters, the Falcon 20E captures precise, real-time data on the physical and chemical properties of the emissions before they dissipate.
This proximity allows researchers to analyze the exhaust plume in real-time, providing unprecedented insights into the immediate atmospheric reactions triggered by different fuel blends.
Contrails are line-shaped ice clouds that form when hot, humid engine exhaust mixes with cold, high-altitude air. Depending on atmospheric conditions, these contrails can persist and spread into cirrus clouds that trap outgoing infrared radiation from the Earth. According to industry research, studies suggest that non-CO2 effects could represent anywhere from 35% to roughly two-thirds of aviation’s total accumulated climate impact. Airbus refers to the microphysics of contrail formation as the “sticky seed” problem. Conventional jet fuel contains aromatic compounds, which are the primary precursors for soot particles during combustion. These soot particles act as the foundational condensation nuclei, or “seeds,” for contrails. Furthermore, even trace amounts of sulphur in jet fuel result in the formation of sulphuric acid. This acid coats the soot particles, making them “sticky” and highly attractive to water vapor.
By utilizing fuels with low aromatics and low sulphur, such as highly refined Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), engines produce significantly fewer soot particles and less sulphuric acid. Fewer seeds mean fewer ice crystals, resulting in contrails that are thinner, shorter-lived, or completely prevented.
The current campaign builds upon the landmark ECLIF3 study, which concluded in 2024. Data from ECLIF3 proved that flying on 100% SAF reduced the number of contrail ice crystals by 56% and cut the overall climate-warming impact of contrails by at least 26% compared to conventional jet fuel.
The ECLIF-X research arrives at a critical regulatory juncture. As of January 2025, the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) requires airlines to monitor and report their non-CO2 effects. With the first verified reports due in 2026, the industry faces immediate pressure to understand and quantify these emissions.
The introduction of the EU’s Non-CO2 Aviation Effects Tracking System (NEATS) means airlines are now legally required to track these metrics. Research initiatives like ECLIF-X provide the foundational science necessary to create accurate monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) models for the commercial aviation sector.
We view the ECLIF-X campaign as a pivotal transition point for airline operations. Historically, the push for Sustainable Aviation Fuel has been framed almost entirely around lifecycle carbon reduction. However, the empirical data gathered by Airbus and DLR highlights a crucial dual benefit: SAF physically alters the clouds aircraft leave behind.
Beyond fuel certification, this research paves the way for “climate-friendly routing.” As airlines and meteorologists better understand exactly how and when contrails form, flight dispatchers could soon pair clean fuels with tactical flight path adjustments to avoid atmospheric regions prone to persistent contrail formation. This operational shift will likely become a standard practice as regulatory bodies tighten non-CO2 reporting requirements.

Eve Air Mobility completes 35 flights of its eVTOL prototype in Brazil, demonstrating strong performance and gaining government support.
This article is based on an official press release from Eve Air Mobility.
Eve Air Mobility has successfully demonstrated its full-scale electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) engineering prototype to top Brazilian government officials. The flight took place at Embraer’s test facility in Gavião Peixoto, Brazil, marking a significant step forward in the company’s certification pathway for advanced air mobility solutions.
According to the official press release, the demonstration was attended by Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, alongside key ministers and aviation authorities. This high-profile event underscores the national and strategic importance of urban air mobility development within Brazil’s broader aerospace sector.
We note that this milestone follows the aircraft’s initial flight in December 2025. Since then, the prototype has been undergoing a rigorous flight test campaign designed to validate its systems, aerodynamics, and overall performance before moving toward formal certification.
The company reports that the engineering prototype has completed 35 flights, accumulating nearly 1.5 hours of total flight time since its debut in December 2025. During these tests, the eVTOL aircraft reached an altitude of 140 feet above ground level (43 meters).
Operations to date have primarily focused on low-speed testing, reaching speeds up to 15 knots (approximately 28 km/h). Eve states that these parameters have allowed their engineering teams to validate critical components, including control laws, rotor aerodynamic efficiency, thermal behavior, and the propulsion model. The aircraft has also demonstrated consistent flight behavior during maneuvers involving simultaneous inputs across three axes.
Preliminary data from the test campaign indicates promising results for the aircraft’s core systems. According to the press release, both propulsion and battery performance have exceeded the company’s initial expectations.
Furthermore, noise levels, a critical factor for urban air mobility acceptance and regulatory approval, remain within the company’s projections. Eve notes that the acoustic footprint is significantly lower than that of conventional helicopters. The presence of President Lula da Silva highlights the strategic backing Eve Air Mobility enjoys in its home country. The event also drew attendance from Luciana Santos, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation; Silvio Costa Filho, Minister of Ports and Airports; Tiago Chagas Faierstein, President of the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC); and Aloizio Mercadante, President of Brazil’s National Development Bank (BNDES).
This coalition of technological, infrastructural, regulatory, and financial leadership suggests a coordinated national effort to support the certification and eventual commercialization of Eve’s eVTOL aircraft. Moving forward, Eve plans to continue expanding the flight envelope, which will include testing at higher speeds.
We observe that Eve’s methodical approach to expanding its flight envelope, starting with low-speed, low-altitude validations, reflects a conservative and safety-first engineering philosophy typical of its parent company, Embraer. By securing visible support from ANAC and BNDES early in the full-scale testing phase, Eve is likely positioning itself favorably for both regulatory certification and future capital requirements. The emphasis on battery and propulsion efficiency exceeding expectations is a strong indicator that the fundamental architecture is sound, though higher-speed transition flights will be the next major technical hurdle for the engineering team.
“We are advancing with discipline and consistency in our flight test campaign, reducing risk and building the foundation for future certification flights. The results achieved in these first months following our initial flight in December 2025 reinforce our confidence in the aircraft’s architecture and our ability to deliver a safe, efficient and scalable solution for the urban air mobility market,” said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve.
According to the company, the full-scale engineering prototype completed its first flight in December 2025.
As of March 2026, the aircraft has reached an altitude of 140 feet (43 meters) and speeds up to 15 knots (28 km/h) during its low-speed testing phase.
