There are resources for students as well as educator resources that can be used to help guide teams as they design their aircraft. Other resources can also be used and can be found through independent research about this topic. In addition, the major factors that NASA experts focus on that influence an aircraft\u2019s performance, fuel efficiency, and overall environmental sustainability can be found below. These factors, a brief explanation of these factors, and links to find out more are also included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aeronautics Sustainability Factors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WEIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Advanced composite materials<\/em><\/strong><br>Composite materials are made up of two or more materials with dissimilar properties and are designed to take advantage of the properties of the materials that make them up. Advanced composite materials are a specific type of composite material made by combining reinforcing materials, like carbon fibers or fiberglass, with a resin. Advanced composite materials are used extensively in aircraft because they are very strong even though they are lightweight.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/directorates\/armd\/past-armd-projects\/advanced-composites-ac-project\/\" data-type=\"topic\" data-id=\"449810\">https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/aeroresearch\/programs\/aavp\/ac  <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Tow steered composites structures<\/em><\/strong><br>Traditionally, fibers in composite materials have been aligned in a singular direction within each layer. New techniques have made it possible to engineers to vary the alignment of fibers within a layer. Aligning the fibers in a curvilinear fashion can improve structural efficiency, lowering the weight because less material is required.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ntrs.nasa.gov\/api\/citations\/20180006190\/downloads\/20180006190.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/ntrs.nasa.gov\/api\/citations\/20180006190\/downloads\/20180006190.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Damage arresting stitched composite structures<\/em><\/strong><br>In many composite materials, fibers are located within individual layers. While the layers are very strong, delamination can occur. Delamination is when the material fails due to the layers separating. One way to combat this problem is through stitching. Stitching is a technique where fibers are woven through the layers, providing additional strength, and helping reduce the risk of delamination.<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tc.faa.gov\/its\/worldpac\/techrpt\/ar02-111.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.tc.faa.gov\/its\/worldpac\/techrpt\/ar02-111.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aircraft Configuration Technologies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Truss-braced wing configuration<\/em><\/strong><br>One potential way to increase the fuel efficiency of airplanes is to use thinner wings. For thinner wings to produce enough lift, more airflow over the wing is required. One way to increase airflow is to increase the length of the wings. The truss-braced configuration is designed to provide the additional support required for longer wings.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ntrs.nasa.gov\/api\/citations\/20140011160\/downloads\/20140011160.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/ntrs.nasa.gov\/api\/citations\/20140011160\/downloads\/20140011160.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Hybrid wing body configuration<\/em><\/strong><br>A hybrid wing body, also called a blended wing body, is an airplane where the body and wing are combined.

An airplane using an OWN configuration would have the engine mounted above the wing rather than under it like in most current passenger airplanes. This can reduce aircraft noise for people on the ground because the wing effectively shields the engine\u2019s noise.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/ntts-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/t2p\/prod\/t2media\/tops\/pdf\/LAR-TOPS-70.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/ntts-prod.s3.amazonaws.com\/t2p\/prod\/t2media\/tops\/pdf\/LAR-TOPS-70.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Swing wing configuration<\/em><\/strong><br>Airplanes designed with a swing wing or variable wing configuration have wings that can move while in flight, improving their efficiency as needed, An airplane could fully extend its wings to reduce both its take off speed and the length of the runway needed, and then during cruise the wings could be swept back, reducing drag and increasing the aircraft’s speed.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/121583main_FS-081-DFRC.pdf?emrc=a3bfdb\">https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/121583main_FS-081-DFRC.pdf?emrc=a3bfdb<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Twin fuselage configuration<\/em><\/strong><br>The fuselage is the \u201cbody\u201d of the airplane.
