  1. The Future of Aviation Tommy Ledford CST 300L FALL 2012

  2. Current Technology Boeing 787 Dreamliner • $243.6M • 242 Passengers • 9400 mile range • Cruise: 567 mph • 33,528 gallons of fuel

  3. 787 Cockpit

  4. Airbus A350 • $278M • 314 Passengers • Expected Launch in 2013 • 9300 mile range • Cruise: 561 mph • 36,500 gallons of fuel • Video: http://videos.airbus.com/video/iLyROoaf2C41.html • :13-:50

  5. Needs: • Lighter (Fuel efficient) • Faster Range ~20 years

  6. Box-Wing Jet (Target: 2025)

  7. Box Wing Jet cont. • Lockheed Martin • Increase range, still fit in airport gates • Materials from F-22 & F-35 • Loop-wing = 16% incr. lift-to-drag ratio • Steeper decents with less power • Two ultrahigh-bypass turbofan engines • Another 22% increase • Total = 50% increase in efficiency over average jetliners.

  8. Sugar Volt (Target: 2035)

  9. Sugar Volt cont. • Boeing • Size of a 737 • Hybrid • Takeoff = jet fuel + batteries • Cruise = batteries • Thinner wings + higher lift-to-drag • Wings fold to fit into gates • Hybrid + high-lift wings + open rotor engines = 55% more efficient • Emits 60% less CO2 + 80% less N2O

  10. Supersonic Green Machine (2030)

  11. Green Machine cont. • Lockheed Martin • Redesigned Concorde from 2003 • After burners reduce NOx by 75% • Inverted V-shaped tail mitigate sound waves • No sonic boom, just dull roar. • Cruises at Mach 1.6

  12. Volta Volare GT4

  13. Volta Volare cont. • Portland-based Volta Volare • Hybrid powertrain • 900 lb. Li Polymer with 236 cells • Uses $20 in electricity vs. $80 in fuel • 200 mile flight • Only one moving part in engine • Less Maintenance • Takeoff,climb, and cruise 300 miles on solely electrical power. • Future: replace fuel with more batteries

  14. Solar Impulse

  15. Solar Impulse cont. • Swiss company • Weighs less than an SUV • 165 yards of runway to take off • Over a mile for a commercial jet • Completely solar powered • Can fly at night • Cruise: 43 mph • 20 day world trip in 2015
