The increasing demand for air travel leads to more pollution produced by air transport. At the same time the fuel prices are constantly rising. Therefore, it becomes necessary to find alternative energy sources for aircraft (alternative fuel, motors). In this article alternative propulsion systems (fuel) that can be used in aviation, their advantages and disadvantages are reviewed.
