Laminar fl ow for wing and fuselage The SE2A design would use a combination of natural and active laminar flow technology to reduce drag. The foward swept wing and boundary-layer suction would see laminar flow extended up to 80% of the chord, while suction applied to the foward fuselage would extend laminar flow to reach the wing-body fairing. Specifi cations Wing aspect ratio 16 MTOW 69,696kg Range 3,320nm Cruise Mach number 0.78 AIR TRANSPORT Hybrid-electric trijet From Germany’s Technical University of Braunschweig comes this concept for a single-aisle airliner that could be 43.5% more fuel-effi cient than an Airbus A320. The concept is part of the Research Cluster of Excellence Sustainable and Energy Effi cient Aviation (SE2A) – a seven- year project begun in 2019 by the Technical University of Braunschweig, German Aerospace Research Center (DLR) and the Leibniz University Hannover to investigate technologies for sustainable and eco-friendly aviation. The aircraft, designed by Prof Dr Ali Elham, Chair of Aircraft Conceptual Design, with assistance from PhD researcher Stanislav Karpuk, incorporates a number of innovative features, including hybrid-electric propulsion, rear- mounted boundary-layer ingestion fan and high-aspect forward-swept wings. TU Braunschweig 4 AEROSPACE February 2021 News.indd 2 21/01/2021 14:52:10 Advanced materials New composite materials and structural design reduce the airframe weight by 19% compared to an all-metal aircraft. Boundary layer ingestion Using hybrid-electric architecture, the SE2A would feature ultra-high bypass ratio engines mounted above the wing, giving a reduction in fuel consump- tion by 25%. Meanwhile, a rear-mounted ducted fan would feature 360° boundary layer ingestion, improving fuel efficiency by 5%. High-aspect folding wing The high-aspect, forward-swept wing brings high efficiency. An outer folding portion, like the Boeing 777X, allows it to fit within current airport gate regulations.

  • History of Signature Aviation Signature Aviation Can Trace Its Origins Back to a Small Industrial Belting Works Founded in Scotland in 1879
    History of Signature Aviation Signature Aviation can trace its origins back to a small industrial belting works founded in Scotland in 1879. Over time, and known as the BBA Group, the company grew its operations to include a wide range of specialist industrial and automotive products before becoming involved in aviation. In 2006, with the demerger of its materials technology division, Fiberweb, the BBA Group became a focused aviation support and aftermarket services business and was renamed BBA Aviation. In 2016, BBA Aviation acquired Landmark Aviation, significantly boosting its core Signature Flight Support FBO business and, at the end of 2019, following the sale of its aftermarket services business, Ontic, the group was renamed Signature Aviation to reflect its key focus on serving the Business & General Aviation (B&GA) market through Signature. On 1 June 2021, Signature Aviation was acquired by Blackstone, Global Infrastructure Partners and Cascade. Industrial and automotive products For its first thirty years the company's main product was solid woven belting used for power transmission and mechanical conveying in industries such as mining. The company's manufacturing interests then grew to include a wide range of industrial and automotive products, sold around the world. These included the transmission linings used on the Model T Ford motor car; materials for Spitfire, Hurricane and Typhoon aircraft; and, later, the first brake pads fitted to Jaguar production cars. By the early 1980s the BBA Group, the holding company created in 1967 and now mostly focused on automotive and friction materials, was the world's largest supplier of original equipment brake pads to the automotive industry.

You are tired and looking forward to two things: rest and the welcome you’ll get from Sandy Henley. She’ll guide the jet expertly to a standstill and move your passengers across the airfield with the same care you placed in touching down. Then she’ll ensure that security checks on baggage are thorough and fast. And before you get a chance to ask, she’ll have told you the result of the Yankees game. Sandy is your air concierge.
