This report investigates new aircraft technologies directed particularly at improving fuel efficiency. Specific technological areas investigated include: (1) Energy processing and sources; (2) Aerodynamics; (3) Propulsion; (4) Structures; and (5) Flight support systems. Over the immediate future, it foresees increased use of composite materials in both engines and air frames, use of micro chip technology, and increased use of electrical systems to replace heavy mechanical linkages. Over the long run, breakthroughs in such technological areas as laminar flow control and advanced turboprop propulsion could generate additional significant fuel efficiencies.
