#Sweet source for aviation biofuel Researchers have identified a new way to produce aviation fuel from sugarcane biomass that could deliver substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
"The development of a reliable biofuel that can be scaled up to a level that be used by the world's commercial airlines has proved somewhat elusive.
and as space on an aircraft is at a premium, and you'd like to pack in as much energy in the form of burnable fuel as possible,
temperatures around the aircraft are around-40c(-40f) or-50c, so you do not want your fuel gelling up on you."
If air travel continues to grow at the predicted rate, it could contribute a considerably higher proportion by 2050.
The search for aviation biofuels broke on to the public stage in the late 2000s
when there were a number of test flights using a blend of conventional fuel and biofuel. In February 2008, the first commercial flight partly powered by biofuel (derived from a mixture of babassu nuts
and coconuts) took off from London's Heathrow airport. After a lengthy review by aircraft makers, engine manufacturers and fuel producers, biofuels were approved for commercial use in 2011.
Prof Bell said the team were hopeful that their findings would ultimately be adopted by commercial fuel producers."
"Prof Bell said that the process to make the aviation biofuel outlined in his team's paper would use waste biomass to generate the energy required operate the refinery,
The deal was announced at the Paris Airshow. The multi-billion-dollar Oneweb constellation will dwarf any previous commercial network in the sky by a factor of 10.
Airbus would not give a formal interview at the airshow but issued a statement from its head of space systems. his partnership is a fantastic new chapter in our space story,
The plan envisages 20 planes of low-orbiting satellites connecting to small user terminals on the ground.
#Plane wings could'heal themselves'Self-healing aeroplane wings could be introduced in the next five to 10 years,
"which are interspersed in the aeroplane wing itself. The spheres burst when damaged, releasing the liquid,
"Composite materials are used increasingly in modern airlines, military aircraft and wind turbines. They are very stiff and strong but very light."
"The"healed"aircraft wings were often as strong as they had been said originally Prof Wass, who is working with aerospace engineer colleagues on the research project."
"We are talking about aeroplane wings here-the most demanding application because of the safety aspect,
Can you print a plane? The new Airbus a350 XWB that is flying daily displays at the Paris Air Show can claim several engineering firsts.
One of these is that it has more 3d printed components than any other aircraft, about 1,
000 on a plane that has gone only just into service. Meanwhile, Raytheon has 3d parts on its missiles,
where the aerospace giant makes aircraft wings.""These components contribute a huge amount to the manufacturing process.
Mr Risk doubts there will ever be a machine big enough to turn out a whole airframe."
In our digitally connected world, a machine could be programmed to start printing even before the aircraft lands.
so it's only a matter of time before a tipping point is reached. 3d parts reduce weight on aircraft,
about 40-50%of aircraft components will use printed materials. It's about 4%now.
As with 3d components used in civil aircraft, they have to go through rigorous regulatory approval.

#Flight Flies on 100 Percent Biofuels This week saw the first-ever completely biofuel-powered flight take place.
The National Research Council of Canada conducted the first flight on 100 percent renewable, drop in biofuel on its Falcon 20 jet, according to oilprice. com, marking a huge milestone for the aviation and renewable energy industries.
Oilseed crops commercialized by Agrisoma were used as a feedstock and transformed by Applied Research Associates into a complete replacement fuel for conventional jet fuel.
Previously, flights on biofuels had been limited to a 50 percent blend with petroleum making this a major breakthrough.
Progress in biofuel-powered flights and the Navy continued pursuit of alternative energy are great steps to help the United states build a biobased economy

The X-37b space plane, a secretive, experimental program run by the Air force, is capable of remaining in space for almost two years.
The mini military space plane is poised for liftoff Wednesday on another long orbital test flight. The three previous missions also began with rocket launches from Cape canaveral Air force station.
Although largely mum about this X-37b flight, the Air force has acknowledged a thruster experiment involving electric propulsion.
