Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have developed a new polymeric fuel additive that could reduce the intensity of post-impact explosions, potentially without adversely affecting engine performance.
As fans get bigger to reduce fuel consumption, so do nacelles, and new designs are needed to reduce drag and weight. Enter UTC Aerospace Systems’ ecoIPS “shrink-wrap” nacelle for future airliners.
Hard on the heels of its stunning images of the shockwaves produced by a supersonic aircraft via air-to-air schlieren photography, NASA has released similar images taken from the ground and using the Sun as the background.
