7 Future Aircraft Concepts That Could Change Aviation

With Boeing projecting demand for 41,000 new commercial aircraft and 617,000 pilots over the next 20 years, traditional manned commercial airliners and business and general aviation aircraft will continue to dominate the skies in the near future. However, during the 2017 Paris Air Show, and really over the last year, several companies, including Airbus and Boeing have revealed new aerial flying concepts designed to give drivers in congested cities new options for getting to work, transporting cargo and other uses.

Here are seven new aerial concepts that could become a reality in the near future:

What is aircraft mainteance?

Aircraft maintenance  Aircraft maintenance is the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft component. Maintenance may include such tasks as ensuring compliance with Airworthiness Directives or Service Bulletins. The maintenance of aircraft is highly regulated, in order to ensure safe and correct functioning during flight. National regulations are coordinated under international standards, maintained by bodies such as the International Civil Aviation Organization  (ICAO). The maintenance tasks, personnel and inspections are all tightly regulated and staff must be licensed for the tasks they carry out. Aircraft maintenance activity carried out once the  aircraft  has been removed from the operating environment for scheduled Check activity or for ad hoc defect investigation and rectification .   Aircraft line maintenance  : activity carried out whilst the  aircraft  remains in the operating environme...

Airbus is leading Europe’s research & technology for future large commercial aircraft :cleansky 2

Airbus i going to will play a leading role in the EU’s recently launched CleanSky 2 (CS2) initiative – the follow-up to CleanSky and the most extensive aeronautical research programme ever launched in Europe. CS2 will provide a platform for focused large scale, highly integrated demonstrators with our partners. Within the frame of the CS2 collaborative research platform, Airbus will focus its expertise on the future of large passenger aircraft, for which the main areas will include: new propulsion systems and their integration in future aircraft; the future of the fuselage and passenger cabin; and the ‘cockpit of the future’. “Airbus is proud to further apply its innovative spirit and R&T know-how for the benefit of global air transport,” said Axel Krein, Head of Research & Technology at Airbus. Airbus’ contributions to CS2 will focus on three main platforms: Platform 1: “Advanced Engine and Aircraft Configurations” will provide the environment to explore and validate ...
