Why We Care about Micro- and Nanotechnologies
Boeing Technology
• Microtechnology
• Microelectronics enables current aerospace systems
• Emerging microsystems are integrating new functions
(mechanical, chemical, bio-sensing…) to enable new
miniaturized systems (guidance, surveillance, aerodynamics,
picosats…)
• Nanotechnology
• Enables microtechnology (systems on a chip).
• Extends microelectronics by orders of magnitude.
• New nanoengineered materials and capabilities will impact all
aspects of aerospace operations
• Will enable autonomous and reconfigurable, redundant
systems (smart dust, picosat arrays…)

Session 10-CAN-10
Why We Care about MNT, cont.
Boeing Technology
• US NNI’s Three Categories
• Materials/Electronics/Photonics
– Structural materials
– High speed molecular computers (CNT transistors)
– Photonics components
• Energy/Environment
– Photovoltaics, batteries, and super capacitor
enhancements
– Fuel cell components
– Green manufacturing processes
– Environmental assurance/Safety and health
• Medical/Bio/Social
– Biosensors for HLS
– Someday, maybe, grow a spar (directed self-assembly)

Generalized Aerospace Needs Statement
Boeing Technology
• Micro- and Nanotechnology Opportunities are
Enormous, Enabling….
• Increased Information Capabilities
• Miniaturization
• New Engineered Materials from New Science at
these Scales
• Increased Functionality and Autonomy
• … and will be linked through integration
We care about micro- and
nanotechnologies because they affect
almost every aspect of our industry!

Increased Functionality and Autonomy
Boeing Technology
• Higher performance at lower cost
• Rapid development will put strain on software
• Watch for emergent behavior from “swarms” of autonomous
devices
• Expect difficult integration

Session 10-CAN-10
Needs: Capable Workforce
Boeing Technology
• We’ll need more
interdisciplinary skill sets
• We’ll continue to
experience competition
for talent with other
industries
• We’ll see a gradual shift
away from internal
specialists
• We already have a global,
distributed workforce
• We’ll need to hire some
biologists

Session 10-CAN-10
Needs: Environmental, Safety, Health
Boeing Technology
• Standards for Safe Use
• Materials Packaged for Safe Shipping
• Suspended in a fluid
• Agglomerated into microscale lumps
• Processes Modified for Safe Use of Nanomaterials
• Shop Floor Monitoring Stations for Nanoparticles

Session 10-CAN-10
Needs: Nanoscale Design, Simulation, Modeling
Boeing Technology
• Professional, Controlled Software Versions
• Move the right codes out of the lab into industry
• Mate them with our existing CAD systems
• Mate them with our existing materials models (multiscale
modeling)
• Mate them with our existing process models

Session 10-CAN-10
Needs: Prepared Nanotechnology Suppliers
Boeing Technology
• Suppliers, Take Notice!
• We are no longer unaware and uneducated
• We are narrowly educated in our specific applications
• Suppliers, You Should Be Ready to Teach
•

•
•
We’re quick
We’re passionate
We’re focused
We care more about applications than technologies
• And, Oh, By the Way, We’re Going to Hold Your Feet to
the Fire About Safety and Health Issues!
