Compilation of Energy Efficient Concepts in Advanced Aircraft Design and Operations. Volume I. Technical Report

摘要

This final report (contained in two volumes) presents the results of research into published literature. The search addressed the technologies necessary to support next generation (IOC 1990+) air vehicle design and operation concepts that will reduce the requirement for natural petroleum-derived energy. The Advanced Concepts Evaluation (ACE) Data Base consists of 599 unique abstracts listed as 948 entries. The ACE Data Base is arranged into eleven areas of R&D effort, each subdivided into Navy and non-Navy funded programs. Volume I includes introduction, Data Bases searched, research methodology for creation of the ACE Data Base, summary of search results, conclusions and recommendations. This volume contains an appendix of search strategies utilized.
