Researching next generation materials
Example: Next generation composites
Result: Reduces weight, which reduces fuel use and
emissions
Designing aerodynamic improvements
Example: Advanced wing design, raked wing tip
Result: Reduces drag which reduces fuel use and emissions
Researching improved propulsion systems
Example: Integrating new, more efficient engines
Result: Reduces fuel consumption and emissions and lowers
noise
Researching less energy-intensive electric
systems
Example: Reducing pneumatic systems
Result: Improving electrical efficiency improves fuel efficiency

Technology Maturity Levels
Timeline to airplane incorporation
• Maturity is measured on the NASA Technology Readiness Levels (TRL)
• TRL 6 “Technology Ready” necessary for product application
consideration
• Technology selection for new products typically occurs 3 - 5 years prior to
airplane Entry Into Service (EIS)
Up to 10 years for major technologies

The Challenge
“Just as employees mastered
"impossible" challenges like
supersonic flight, stealth, space
exploration and super-efficient
composite airplanes, now we must
focus our spirit of innovation and our
resources on reducing greenhousegas emissions in our products and
operations.”
