The Sustainable Aviation Technology Dashboard: A Platform to Explore Alternative Energy Pathways

The Sustainable Aviation Technology Dashboard (SAT Dashboard) is an interactive software tool developed by the Laboratory for Electric Aircraft Design and Sustainability at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to evaluate pathways toward decarbonized aviation. The SAT Dashboard addresses the challenge of assessing alternative energy carriers, such as sustainable aviation fuels, batteries, and hydrogen, by integrating physics-based, techno-economic, and environmental models into a unified framework. Architected as a modular, web-based platform, it enables transparent scenario analysis and visualization of key performance indicators. The software is stored on a publicly accessible server and designed for reuse in research, education, and policy applications, supporting collaboration across academia, industry, and government.
