Aircraft energy efficiency. Overview
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5812449
Six advanced technology development projects that could cut fuel consumption of future civil air transports by as much as 50 percent are highlighted. These include improved engine components, better engine design, thin short blades for turboprop aircaft using composite primary structures for weight reduction, the use of supercritical wings, higher aspect ratio, and winglets for improved aerodynamics active controls and laminar flow control. The time span of each of the six efforts and NASA's expected expenditures are also discussed.
