(weight of solar cells structure+ weight of fuel needed to carry solar cells)> (weight of fuel needed to generate same amount of energy in flight). Many ideas are good,but the cos/t benefit analysis kills the idea. Its better to generate the energy on ground with solar,then convert carbon monoxide +hydrogen into jet A-1 fuel and load it in the aircraft.Many many ideas look good on paper,but when you make the calculations, the ideas is usually dead as soon as its born.

Game changer? Here is what is coming. Try 160 mph on natural gas at 2 cent/mile for fuel for 4 people (0.5 cent/mile per person), or 6 cents for gasoline (1.5 cent/mile per...). Current Cessna 172 is 40-50 cent/mile. Airbus 380 gets 100 mpg per passenger on jet fuel or 3 cent/mile, or 6 time MORE than what we are doing. When this happens, Airbus is like an old railroad company...out of business. The days are numbered for large jet liners...

so much bull***t.. there are more than enough highly motivated engineers out there but "unfortunately" they are "too expensive" for the companies and especially airbus. this is the reason why more and more engineers from the non-european countries are being hired and less engineers from europe.. sad but true! maybe you should also keep an eye on your human resource department because most of the applications won't even get checked...

hmm yeah that's true, maybe one day they could become part of the actual material of the aircraft somehow rather than additional weight. Another thing I thought about is that aircraft generate static electricity in flight and I know they have the dischargers on the wingtips to get rid of this because of a few reasons, radios, sparks when refueling etc, but I wonder if there could be a way that this could be used somehow?

best idea is not to adapt single technologies to an existing aircraft concept, but create a new concept that is optimized for as many of the new ideas as possible, so that it can benefit from a multitude of them. The whole infrastructure needs revamped, including the legislation. first step is convincing people with a tech demonstrator aircraft.

ba ouais , suffit de voir les chiffres d 'affaire de l 'industrie anglaise dans l "aéronautique , il est 2 fois plus important qu 'en france . les français ne voient qu 'airbus mais c 'est peu par rapport a toute l 'industrie du secteur . donc faut arrêter de se croire supérieur avec airbus .

stephen10 commented on 15 Jun 2013

pas vraiment , la france a 37 % de part c est tout . et les moteurs sont anglais . et ils font les ailes (20% ) je crois . france has 37% of shares only . england make the engines it s a big part and has 20 % with the wings . british air industry is more important than french air industy

Why not put thin solar film on some of the surfaces of the aircraft, covered with a protective coating. The amount of time they spend above the clouds in sunlight could help charge batteries or power something.

You want young engineers then plz go to india. because upto 2020 every 3rd indian will be a engineer or medical personeel.plz think on my comment and research about indian education.

Ghost Protocol commented on 12 Jun 2013

there is a shortage of engineers??? Come on.. May be in Europe.. Go to India.. U'll find engineers everywhere.. Even I am a master's degree holder in engineering and I am from India

France holds most of the shares of airbus and germany does not make private jets, the most luxurious private jets are made in southern france by Dassault...

stephen10 commented on 15 Jun 2013

finalement la part de la france est moins de 37 % depuis que airbus est une filliale de EADS . donc je ne sais pas combien a la france . peut être 20 %
