The proposed expansion of private jet hanger space at Hanscom Field has generated controversy. This talk will discuss: greenhouse emissions for private vs. commercial jet travel, economic equity issues, how impacts of aviation projects are assessed, role of the Environment Impact Review, potential of sustainable aviation fuel (biofuel), and arguments used to justify and oppose such projects.
The speaker, Jim Poage, had a long career with the U.S. Dept. of Transportation. Jim has expanded his system view of problems to include integrating all the success factors involving technology, employees, customers, suppliers, organizational structure and culture, processes, and external influences.
