Future of Aircraft: 

Future of Aircraft David and Clay

Past Aircraft: 

Past Aircraft Things have changed a immensely from when heavier then air aircraft started flying such as: Jet propulsion Commercial use Airframe Flight time

Improvement to modern aircraft: 

Improvement to modern aircraft Modern aircraft include changes to older designs but not outright redesign, changes include: 4. New airfoils 3. Lighter structures 2. Control systems 1. Better propulsion

Better propulsion: 

Better propulsion Piston engines were used first. Now gas turbines also known as jet engines are used

Control systems: 

Control systems Then: To control old aircraft a pilot must shift his weight. Now: Everything is fly-by-wire, meaning that it is computer or cable controlled.

Lighter Structures: 

Lighter Structures Airplanes were made out of wood and canvas until the 1930’s modern equivalents are: Aluminum alloys and materials with reinforcing fibers

New Airfoil Designs: 

New Airfoil Designs Future aircraft will have many changes and will most likely look nothing like today's planes just as ours do not look like the Wright flyer.

Airfoil Designs...: 

Airfoil Designs... Not only this future aircraft will have the ability to….

Repair Themselves : 

Repair Themselves This will be possible because of new building ideas, imbedding resin that oozes into cracks on demand. This is currently in prototype and it mimics nature in how it heals it self.

Access to Space: 

Access to Space New designs are making what once seemed impossible possible. The Space shuttle now becoming obsolete.

Replacing the Space Shuttle: 

Replacing the Space Shuttle The X-33 is a single stage orbiter that is 1/10th as costly to send into space as a space shuttle. The project was shut down.

This creates new designs and breaks all barriers. http://adg.stanford.edu/aa241/intro/futureac.html http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/ResearchHighlights/Timelines/Aircraft/LighterStructures.htm

More on the Horizon: 

More on the Horizon No prediction of the future is ever correct but as seen the future of aircraft is a bright one.
