US aircraft designers see all sorts of amazing machines in the future--airplanes with electric propulsion: with shapes that are part wing and part conventional body; with giant wingspans or with wings braced by struts and trusses. American research is underway on some of these ideas, but aviation advocates in the US are beginning to sound the alarm about a threat they see to their ability to get the best of these concepts into operation before other nations or non-US corporations do. These experts warn that the US does not have an adequate plan in place to improve today's computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and other digital simulation tools and to get ready for exotic new computing concepts, such as circuitry made from microscopic carbon nanotubes or computers that rely on quantum properties. Here, Button examines the problems with CFD software.
