aerospace technologies by Michael Cooney. Is it possible to fly
faster, farther, greener and safer than ever before? Seems the
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) thinks
so. The group released its first Top 10 Emerging Aerospace
Technologies of 2009 report this week which featured greener
aviation and alternative aircraft fuel developments as the top
budding technologies. Specifically the AIAA's hot list includes:
Go green: "Greener aviation" technologies includes everything
from emission and noise reduction technologies such as the ones
being developed for the Federal Aviation Administration's
Continuous Low Emissions, Energy and Noise (CLEEN) program. The
FAA is looking to build what it calls a world-class consortium
for development, maturing and certification of lower energy,
emissions, noise, engine and airframe technology over 10 years.
The group also pointed toward the European Environmentally
Friendly Engine (EFE) program a
