Calculate your climate footprint in 10 minutes top time.

Take the test

✈️ Aircraft

The aircraft's footprint is substantial. It is not necessarily more polluting per kilometre than a car that only moves one person, but the distance, and especially the distance covered in an hour (commonly referred to as speed), means that you can change continents for a weekend.

We should also bear in mind that the average French person takes few or no flights. Most of the aviation footprint is therefore concentrated on 10% or less of the French population.

Notes

We have chosen to ask for the total number of flight hours, rather than asking the user to enter information for each of their flights via the departure and arrival airports and the economy class. This is a possible future development. It should also be noted that stopovers lead to additional take-offs, which consume more fuel than a normal speed fuel than a cruising speed. This is another parameter to be taken into account later on.
