NASA has initiated a comprehensive Aircraft Energy Efficiency Program which is concerned with the development of approaches for reducing fuel consumption in new aircraft of the 1980-2000 time period. A review is presented of the airframe technologies selected for emphasis in the NASA program, taking into account an evaluation of their potential for reducing transport direct operating costs through fuel efficiency. Attention is given to the importance of fuel efficiency, the impact of advanced technology, advanced composite structures, the NASA composite primary structures program, advanced aerodynamics and active controls, supercritical wing geometry, active load and flutter control, and aspects of laminar flow control.
