EATS: Best Practices and Lessons from Ground-Testing EAP Systems

Location

Aerospace and aviation engine testing have a long heritage of safe and efficient test methods and practices. New test methods are being pioneered as the electric aircraft propulsion systems need to test their electric engine technology. The need to marshal ground testing methods to ensure safe operation and confident results is paramount.

Technical Lecture:  Vertical Landing for SpaceX’s Rockets:  SpaceX is developing fully-reusable rockets that take off and land vertically, before refueling and reflight. The 2023 F.E. Newbold Awardee, Dr. Lars Blackmore, discusses the unique challenges of vertical landing for space launch vehicles and how SpaceX is overcoming these challenges with both vehicle-level design choices and new hardware/software technologies.

GTE-02: Pathways for Net-Zero Emission Aviation

The U.S. Aviation Climate Action Plan to Achieve Net-Zero Emissions by 2050

In November 2021, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published the United States Aviation Climate Action Plan, which describes a whole-of-government approach to put the sector on a path toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The plan builds on individual and sector-wide commitments announced by the U.S. aviation industry and highlights specific actions and policy measures to foster innovation and drive change across the entire U.S. aviation sector.

This talk will introduce the plan and focus on the modeling and analyses of the potential for emissions reductions from measures such as the development of new, more efficient aircraft and engine technologies, the improvements in aircraft operations throughout the National Airspace System, the production and use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), and the potential role of market-based measures e.g., the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).
