Course detail: Future Propulsion Systems and Energy Sources in Sustainable Aviation
Description
This course explores developing propulsion systems and energy sources to support future sustainable air transportation. Students will review the impact of air transportation on the environment, and explore new technology development for sustainable aviation, including innovations in alternative jet fuels, hybrid electric, all-electric and nuclear propulsion power. Students will examine modern propulsion for transonic and supersonic-hypersonic aircraft and the impact of propulsion on aircraft design. They will review major advances in the field that will provide performance enhancement, revolutionize design configurations and ensure the long-term viability of sustainable power.
Who Should Attend?
Propulsion and power technologists, practicing engineers in aircraft industry, engineers at NASA,FAA, DoD and DOE Labs, engineering faculty, mechanical, aerospace, industrial and power engineering, along with engineering students, undergraduates, graduate students and postdocs, government officials working in aviation and decision makers working on policies dealing with the future of aviation.
