Le Consumer Electronic Show (CES)<\/strong> Las Vegas is the first major international trade fair of the year, and a veritable global showcase for new technologies. Until 10 January, you can discover the latest trends and innovations from over 4,500 exhibitors<\/strong>. While more than 3,400 candidates take part in the Innovation Awards, a benchmark in a career dedicated to technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world of travel is not to be outdone, with a strong presence at CES. The proof is in the pudding: Delta Air Lines, <\/strong>which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025,<\/strong> unveiled its next innovations. <\/strong>They symbolise the company's vision of using technology to enrich human experiences, now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Air Lines<\/a> strengthens its partnership with Airbus<\/strong> by participating in its UpNext innovation laboratory as a key partner. This partnership with Airbus UpNext will enable the US carrier to be at the forefront of aviation technology and meet the demand of new travellers\". It is estimated that 80 % or more of the world's population has never travelled by plane<\/strong>. This is why facilitating access to air travel is not just an opportunity. It's also a way of improving people's quality of life.<\/em> \"said Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Air Lines<\/strong>at CES 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta and Airbus will work together to find technological solutions that will make it possible to improve both the technological and environmental performance of aircraft<\/strong>. The two companies will be exploring wing performance, fuel efficiency, superconductivity and advanced assistance for the aircraft of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always on the lookout for fuel savings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Delta will also be participating in a new flying technique developed by Airbus, called fello'fly. It is inspired by migratory geese that coordinate twin flights to gain power. Applied to aviation, this flight technique will create a ripple effect from the first aircraft to the following ones. It should improve the energy efficiency of the following aircraft by recovering wake energy. Delta will take part in the next phase of flight tests, scheduled for the second half of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, Airbus has joined Delta in its participation in the Minnesota SAF Hub, a coalition of players in the aviation industry. sustainable fuel<\/a>. This unique grouping should help to increase the possibility of obtaining SAF, the most important lever in the decarbonisation of aviation. Unfortunately, the SAF production target still seems unattainable given the sector's stated ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
