| dc.description.abstract | The challenge, of global inclination of high-level emissions of carbon dioxide and other
emissions including aviation emissions into the atmosphere, causing increasing rate of global
warming issues, greenhouse effects, noise pollution and other social hindrances due to the
increased indulgence, people’s mobility from point A to point B and industrialisation. This
emission, cause environmental and health problems which therefore must be controlled at the
various sectors including the Aviation industry.
Comparatively, electric planes are more environmentally friendly to conventional planes. The
thesis focuses on the transition of electric plane using the Multi Level Perspective Framework
(MLP) to analyse the transition.
The Multi-level perspective framework is a transition framework which explores socio technical
transitions, at three (3) analytical levels known as the niche, regime, and landscape levels.
A qualitative analysis was conducted, on electric plane transition in Norway by interviewing five
(5) people, the first is an aviation transport industrialist. The second is a lecturer in UiS.The third
is an aviation expert based in USA. Fourth is Entrepreneur based in Ghana and fifth person is an
engineer from Ghana.
The present study revealed, electric planes transition is at the Niche level, where there is a high
tendency to reach regime level within the shortest possible time. | |
