In the rapidly evolving aviation sector, technological advancements and the push for sustainability are reshaping consumer expectations and regulatory landscapes. Amidst these changes, Kepler Digitals stands out as a trailblazer, harnessing the power of blockchain technology to tackle the industry's critical challenges, including asset traceability and service digitization, paving the way for a decarbonized future and the advancement of air mobility.

**Quick History of Aviation**

The journey of aviation spans over two millennia, beginning with the earliest forms of aviation, such as kite flying in China. In the late 15th century, Leonardo da Vinci designed several flying machines inspired primarily by birds and their flight mechanisms. Even though Leonardo’s ideas about flight were not realized in his lifetime, they have inspired many generations of inventors and engineers. His visions of human flight and contributions to aviation are celebrated as the expressions of a truly visionary mind, whose impact extends far beyond the confines of his time.

At the end of the 19th century, Clément Ader’s aircraft called the Éole hop flew in 1890. The modern era of powered flight took off in 1903 with the Wright brothers' historic flight, marking the dawn of practical aviation. This period saw rapid advancements, with aviation playing a crucial role in World War I and subsequently in commercial and civil domains. The 20th century was characterized by significant technological leaps, from propeller-driven aircraft to the introduction of jet airliners, revolutionizing air travel and connecting the globe like never before.

**Green Aviation**

The quest for sustainable aviation has gained momentum in the 21st century, driven by the urgent need to reduce the environmental impact of air travel. Milestones such as the first commercial flight partly powered by biofuel, championed by Virgin Atlantic, underscore the industry's commitment to green innovation. The development and deployment of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), including those produced from recycled waste carbon gas, represent pivotal steps towards reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. These efforts are supported by collaborations across science, business, and government sectors, aiming to create cleaner, more sustainable air travel
