Harris noted that it belongs 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.000 to a group of asteroids from the main asteroid 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.720 belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Experts warn that 00:06:19.050 --> 00:06:21.629 these delays could hinder the airline industry's 00:06:21.629 --> 00:06:24.930 goal of achieving net -zero emissions by 2050. 00:06:25.949 --> 00:06:29.209 With aviation responsible for a significant share 00:06:29.209 --> 00:06:31.930 of global emissions, pressure is mounting for 00:06:31.930 --> 00:06:35.720 manufacturers to innovate. New contenders like 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.279 Jet Zero with a radical design plan may challenge 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.220 Boeing and Airbus' dominance.
