🎥 SPOTLIGHT CLIP: Leaders in #aviation say environmental stewardship is at the core of the industry. ✈️ The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has agreed to cut carbon emissions in half by 2030 and make the industry carbon-neutral by 2050. To achieve efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint, the focus has shifted to more #sustainable fuels, and the integration of enhanced aircraft design. 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 is spotlighting Otto Aviation, which has designed a revolutionary transonic super-laminar (TSL) aircraft that's lighter, making it more operationally efficient and environmentally friendly. 🛩️ TSL aircraft can achieve twice the efficiency of traditional aircraft through 𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰. 🛬 Laminar flow is characterized by the smooth and organized flow of fluids. When fluids, or air, flow over surfaces in laminar flow - versus turbulent flow - surface friction drag is reduced by roughly 80%. Super-laminar flow unlocks greater speeds and greater fuel efficiency. “𝙒𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙮𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧 𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙬.

✈ 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 We are pleased to announce a new milestone (MS1) achieved in the HOPE Horizon Europe project. In the last months, the HOPE baseline aircraft and power plant systems were successfully defined and finalised by Bauhaus Luftfahrt e.V. (Moritz G. Kolb, Barlas Türkyılmaz, Yiyuan Ma, Arne Seitz). The baseline aircraft will play a key role in the assessment of HOPE’s multi-fuel #propulsion system architecture and will serve as a benchmark against which the technologies developed in the project will be compared.   💡 𝐀𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐃𝐄 The baseline aircraft for HOPE is an A320 / B737 class aircraft with an Entry-Into-Service (EIS) of 2035 using #SustainableAviationFuel (SAF) as its energy carrier. The aircraft is derived in #BLADE (Bauhaus Luftfahrt Aircraft Design Environment), a novel aircraft design software developed in-house by Bauhaus Luftfahrt. BLADE combines modularity, traceability and automation of the conceptual design process of conventional and future aircraft. BLADE will be utilized in HOPE for assessing all three aircraft scenarios: ➡️ HOPE Baseline Aircraft ➡️ HOPE Multi-Fuel Turbofan & FC-APU Aircraft ➡️ HOPE Multi-Fuel Turbofan, FC-APPU & BLI Propulsor Aircraft   Stay tuned for more updates!   CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency #aviation #sustainableaviation #aircraft #horizoneurope

The infrastructure (architecture, engineering, and construction) sector has a great chance to undergo digital transformation as a result of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0. Compared to many other worldwide industries, this one, which has historically relied on human labor, mechanical technology, and conventional business methods, has experienced little advancements in productivity. But emerging digital technologies, especially InfraTech products like drone technology, present a viable approach to transform this sector. #infrastructure #architecture #engineering #construction #sectors #industrial #industrialrevolution #revolution #industry #drone #technology #business #labor #mechanical #productivity #transformation

𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐢𝐩 𝐖𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 When it comes to aircraft design, every detail matters—especially at the very tip of the wings. Winglets, those upward-curved extensions you see on the ends of an aircraft's wings, are marvels of modern engineering. They may look simple, but they play a crucial role in making flights more efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒔 Winglets are designed to reduce a phenomenon known as wingtip vortices. These swirling air currents form at the wingtips during flight, creating drag that slows the aircraft down and increases fuel consumption. By carefully crafting the shape of the wingtip, engineers can disrupt these vortices, significantly reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency by up to 5%. Made from advanced composite materials like carbon fiber, winglets are lightweight yet incredibly strong. Their design and placement are the result of years of research and wind tunnel testing. Today, winglets come in various designs, from blended winglets that smoothly transition from the wing to the tip, to split scimitar winglets with dual surfaces for even greater efficiency. 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝑰𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔? The benefits of winglets extend beyond just fuel savings. Reduced drag means lower carbon emissions, making air travel more sustainable. Additionally, improved fuel efficiency helps airlines save on costs, which can translate into lower ticket prices for passengers. It’s a win-win situation for both the environment and the economy.

As we strive for creating the perfect engineering symphony of sustainability and innovation, we must embrace the contrarian viewpoint that less can indeed be more. Minimalist strategies in design and resource utilization not only reduce our carbon footprint but also amplify the impact of our solutions. The open fan architecture is our latest melody in this symphony of innovation in the aerospace industry. Imagine an engine, unshackled by the weight of excess, its fan blades free to dance in the open air. This is the essence of the open fan engine—a marvel that merges the performance of turbofans with the efficiency of turboprops. By shedding the ducts, we embrace a design that's lighter, more efficient, and kinder to our planet. It's a bold step towards our commitment to halve emissions by 2050, with a potential 20% CO2 reduction on the horizon. In this journey, the spotlight often shines on the technologies we create. Yet, the true stars are the engineers behind the scenes, whose collaborative spirit and high performance drive us toward our goals. Their stories, a testament to the power of a united team, inspire us to reach new heights. As aerospace engineers, we're not just crafting engines; we're sculpting the future of flight. Join us as we soar towards a sustainable horizon, powered by the elegance of simplicity. #AerospaceEngineering #SustainableDesign #Innovation #Minimalism #OpenFan

I recently came across a post that talked about the technological advancements in construction and oil/gas engineering, that it represents a captivating frontier, rich with promise and potential pitfalls. In my own perception, delving into this realm unveils a tapestry of innovation reshaping our infrastructure and energy landscapes.At the forefront of this transformation are advancements in automation and robotics, revolutionizing how we build and extract resources. From autonomous construction vehicles deftly maneuvering through job sites to drones conducting aerial surveys with unprecedented precision, the efficiencies gained are undeniable. These technologies streamline processes, enhance safety, and reduce costs, positioning the industry for sustainable growth.Yet, amidst the allure of progress, lie nuanced considerations and potential drawbacks. One such concern revolves around the displacement of human labor by automation. While these technologies augment productivity, they also raise questions about job security and the need for reskilling the workforce. Balancing the benefits of efficiency gains with the socioeconomic impacts demands careful navigation.

One of the most critical innovations we at Destinus plan to test next year on our Destinus 3 is an afterburner that uses liquid hydrogen as fuel. Why do we need this? To increase the available speed range for the turbojet engine to 2.5 Mach and beyond. In this case, our future hybrid (turbojet + ramjet) TBCC engine will be able to switch from a turbojet to a ramjet engine. Why hydrogen? Hydrogen is an ideal coolant. Before being used in the afterburner, it can cool the air entering the turbojet engine with a pre-cooler, making the engine more efficient at high supersonic speeds. The TBCC engine being developed by Destinus is set to revolutionize and enable the creation of a hypersonic aircraft.

High bypass ratio for enhanced efficiency, the GE9X Engine brings 10% fuel efficiency. #aerodynamics #Engineering #Design #Materials https://lnkd.in/gYYXTBGt
