THE AIRCRAFT OF THE FUTURE



The invention of flying began as early as about 1000 years ago when the Chinese tried to fly with the help of kites and hot air balloons.


The Wright brothers in Kitty Hawk flew on December 17, 1903 at 10:35 in 12 seconds USA.

On May 20, 1927, the Atlantic was defeated by Charles A Lindberg for the first time without having to make an emergency landing. The journey between New York and Paris.

Regular flights began as early as 1916 when the newly founded British airline AT&T
In 1929, the first aircraft was built with 4 engines that could take up to 19 passengers and could reach an altitude of 3100 meters.

World War II gave the aviation industry a real boost in development from 200 km/h to upwards
to 960 km/h in World War II.

On July 27, 1949, the world's first custom-built jet, the British De Havilland Comet, took its maiden in England. Built by aviation pioneer Geoffrey de Havilland, it was this jet engine that revolutionized the aviation industry and paved the way for aviation to fly higher and climb faster where greatly reduced flight time.

It first flew on August 10, 1949, over 800 km / h, the first flight of a jet transport in North America, the second in the world.


To remember this record, we must go back to 1949. Before, turbojet propelled propulsion and several versions of the early jet engine such as the Rolls-Royce Nene, a piston engine aircraft, were flown. After this, aircraft with full jet power were used due to their reduced noise level and vibrations.

The fact that we travel through the air with the help of aircraft is currently a major factor as we are dependent on transporting goods as people. But one concern remains!

The emissions that come from all the fossil fuels out of the aircraft! Fossil-free fuels have already been tested on animal and vegetable fuels.


It has also been tested to fly with the help of solar panels, which became a successful journey for Solar impulse 2. A journey around the world with the help of 17,000 solar panels.



The future aims at a fossil-free way of transport. The vision is that we will be able to fly with the help of electricity.

Chinese researchers in Wuhan have unveiled a jet engine prototype that creates high-temperature plasma directly from pressurized air. The concept is based on combining air which is then ionized with the help of microwaves, which generates hot plasma that provides power. Plasma production is electrically powered, which means zero emissions!
