The NASA plans "GREEN" AIRCRAFT

Revolutionary passenger aircraft, faster and more "green" plans to build the NASA .


According to CNN, at the end of 2010, NASA has selected three teams from groups of Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northtrop Grumman to design three models of aircraft in 2011. "The projects are diverse but all three meet the objectives set by NASA for less noise, cleaner emissions and lower energy consumption, "noted a statement on the website of NASA. "By the end of the year all three teams will carry out experiments and simulations, we develop innovations and new technologies to refine their plan. " The project for green aircraft will be funded by NASA's Program for Environmentally Responsible Aviation, which is under the auspices of the Office of Aeronautics Research Mission in Washington. noted that under the "green» project of NASA developed technology for the reduction by half in aviation emissions, reduce fuel than conventional models, and reduce noise pollution from aircraft. The new aircraft will begin flights in 2025, will be energy efficient as will put a limit on the weight of their loads in a range that will not exceed 11,000 kilometers, and the lowest speed that can develop.
