Once again the flight of birds inspire Airbus to continue to search for new ways to improve the performance of your aircraft.
The human being from the first day we are inspired by the birds of the world to be able to take flight and thus be able to reach increasingly distant destinations in longer flights.
This is how the world's aircraft manufacturers seek to improve their performance, especially in terms of fuel consumption.
Searching for this goal, Airbus has achieved leadership in this field, where also the flight of the albatrosses inspire tomorrow's aerial technology, every detail of the birds continues to this day serving to improve what already exists.
fello'fly project
Fello’fly, is the latest demonstration project inspired by biomimicry *, which will increase the environmental performance of commercial aircraft and have a significant impact on reducing emissions for the aviation industry.
Biomimetics is the science that studies nature as a source of inspiration for the search for innovative technologies that allow solving certain problems.
Airbus fello'fly project aims to demonstrate technical feasibility, operational and commercial operation of two aircraft flying together (close enough) on long-haul flights.
A) Yes, a follower aircraft will recover the energy lost by the wake of a lead aircraft, flying in the gentle updraft of air that creates. This provides lift to the follower aircraft, allowing you to decrease engine thrust and, Thus, reduce fuel consumption in the range of 5-10% per trip.
The technical solution you are working on Airbus involves the pilot assistance functions necessary to ensure that aircraft being flown remain safely positioned in the updraft of air of the aircraft they are following, keeping the same distance, at a constant and safe altitude.
In terms of the operational solution, airbus is working, in collaboration with airlines and Air Traffic Control providers (ATC), to identify operational needs and appropriate solutions to plan and execute fello'fly operations.
This highlights the importance that Airbus places on conducting industry-wide activities to achieve the emission reduction targets defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization. (OACI) and the Aviation Environmental Protection Committee (CAEP).
Airbus will begin flight tests with two of its aircraft Airbus A350 on 2020. Given the high potential for a positive environmental impact for the industry, signs up for an ambitious timeline for a controlled entry into service (EIS), expected before the middle of the next decade.
