In the Tuesday keynote presentation at EBACE Connect, aviator and philanthropist Erik Lindbergh challenged the business aviation sector to step up its leadership role in making the industry more environmentally sustainable. He told NBAA president Ed Bolen that the Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation will soon roll out a series of prizes to incentivize innovation towards carbon neutrality through its ForeverFlight initiative, which is backed by the XPrize Foundation and its $100 million funding from Elon Musk.
