Project Brief
I investigated emerging aircraft technologies and sustainable propulsion concepts targeting carbon-free aviation by 2050. This was the research context, not a claimed outcome of the project.
My Contribution
I researched emerging aircraft technologies and sustainable propulsion concepts, considering their technical challenges and operational feasibility.
Engineering Assessment
I considered the technologies through technical, environmental and operational perspectives.
Technical challenges
I examined the technological challenges relevant to future aircraft and propulsion concepts.
Environmental implications
I considered the environmental implications within the research context of carbon-free aviation.
Operational feasibility
I assessed operational feasibility as part of the wider engineering discussion.
Outcome
The work formed a research assessment intended to inform future aerospace design decisions. Specific technology comparisons and supporting references will be added with the project report; the 2050 ambition was the research context, not an achieved project result.
Engineering Competencies
I applied technical research and feasibility assessment to a broad aerospace design question, considering technology alongside environmental and operational constraints.
