Technologies demonstrated and proven as part of the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator program (SFD) will inform future designs and could lead to aerodynamic and fuel efficiency advances. combustible innovative.
When combined with expected advances in propulsion systems, materials and system architecture, a single-aisle aircraft with a TTBW configuration could reduce fuel consumption and emissions even in a 30% relative to today's most efficient single-aisle aircraft, depending on the mission.
The SFD program aims to promote the commitment of the civil aviation industry to achieve zero emissions net carbon for 2050, as well as the objectives established in the Aviation Climate Action Plan of USA of the white house.
«El programa SFD tiene el potencial de hacer una contribución importante hacia un futuro sostenible», said Greg Hyslop, Chief Engineer and Executive Vice President of Engineering, Boeing Testing and Technology. «Representa una oportunidad para diseñar, build and fly a full-scale experimental aircraft, mientras se resuelven nuevos problemas técnicos».
Ultra-thin, strut-bolstered wings with larger spans and higher aspect ratios could eventually accommodate advanced powertrains that are limited by the lack of underwing space in current low-wing aircraft configurations.. for demo vehicle, Boeing will use elements of existing aircraft and integrate them with completely new components.
The financing of the NASA through the SFD Space Law Agreement amounts to 425 millions of dollars. The SFD program will also take advantage of up to $725 million in funds Boeing and their industry partners to shape the demo program and meet the required resource needs. Separately, Boeing's previous internal investments for recent phases of sustainable aviation research total $ 110 millions.
The TTBW airframe concept is the result of more than a decade of development supported by NASA., Boeing and industry investments. Under previous programs of the NASA, including the agency's Subsonic Ultra Green Aircraft Research program, Boeing conducted extensive wind tunnel testing and digital modeling to advance the design of the TTBW. Early concept studies began under NASA's Environmentally Responsible Aviation program.
