Recent research focus areas in aeronautics include nanotechnology, developmental test and evaluation, network-centric warfare, intelligent systems, and environmental air transport.
Energy Optimized Aircraft and Equipment Systems
Air craft technologies are related to the design and integration of energy consuming Aircraft Equipment Systems (AES). These systems are located under the floor, inside wings and behind panels, essentially ensuring performance, safety, and controllability.
New aircraft configurations advance available components and integration of these systems to introduce possibilities for greater efficiency in terms of the following:
• Environmental control and all aspects of thermal management
• Flight control actuation ice and rain protection
• Landing gear and braking
• Electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic generation and distribution
• Auxiliary and emergency power generation
• Aircraft fuel system
• Engine support
• Lighting, cabin and water/waste
