Marion Blakey is next up - she's now the CEO of the US Aerospace Industries Association and also chairman of the International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations. She also used to run the US FAA you'll recall. Unsurprisingly she believes technology is going to be important.
She quotes American aviation hero Eddie Rickenbacker saying: "Aviation is proof that we can achieve the impossible." (Which may be handy in the case of the environment). And draws analogies with the original blue-sky thinkers - the Wright Brothers.
"The need for experimentation is even more crucial," she declares. She points approvingly to UPS' work at Louisville, Kentucky using ADS-B and continuous descent approaches to slash approach emissions by 34% and cut noise below 6,000ft by 30%.
This is the start of something of a theme for the day - air traffic management and operational techniques are clearly offering the best hopes for near-term environmental gains.
