The Sustainable Aviation Foundation (SAF) is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501c3 organization, dedicated to improving human life through advances in aviation. Our goal is to focus on the application of electric aviation at a meaningful scale to help solve these pressing problems of our age:
-
Climate change and climate-related disasters
-
Surface gridlock and the attendant losses of human happiness and productivity
-
The need for sane and humane urban planning for billions of humans
We believe this mandate is underserved by existing initiatives, and that by bringing together experts and practitioners from a wide array of disciplines we can collectively advance Urban Air Mobility (UAM) as a sustainable and practical mass-transit solution.
Our activities towards these goals include the following:
- Programming and hosting of the Sustainable Aviation Symposium, a yearly conference attracting enthusiasts, academics and industry members from around the world to discuss the latest developments in e-Flight and related developments
- Consulting and thought-leadership on UAM and e-Flight initiatives to public and private groups, including policymakers, elected officials and media
- Hosting and sponsoring eFlight news coverage through our online journal SustainableSkies.org
- Outreach and development of student and educational partners to grow the future of e-Flight in multi-disciplinary university programs
