In Russia, create a super-heavy aircraft on cryogenic fuel
Specialists of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky (TsAGI) are developing the concept of a heavy transport aircraft integrated circuit, which will fly on liquefied gas.
The integrated design scheme of the aircraft allows you to combine the functions of the wing and fuselage, the aircraft acquires a streamlined shape, which has less air resistance. The model of the aircraft was successfully tested. The experiment showed that the studied layout has high aerodynamic perfection and will allow the aircraft to make a stable and controlled flight.
The aircraft is designed for intercontinental transportation of a large volume of cargo - up to 500 tons. Despite this capacity, the aircraft will be operated on existing runways. For comparison, today the largest cargo aircraft in the world, the An-225 Mriya, is capable of lifting up to 250 tons.
Most of the flight of the new cargo carrier will take place at a low altitude of 3-12 m. The water, ice or ground over which such an aircraft flies, in turn, create a screen effect, thanks to which the aerodynamic qualities of the machine grow. This leads to a decrease in fuel consumption and a significant increase in range.
It is planned that the aircraft will fly on liquefied natural gas – the so-called cryogenic fuel. Liquefied gas has the highest energy efficiency and lower emission content compared to aviation kerosene. The use of natural gas will ensure the environmental friendliness of transportation and give a significant competitive advantage in comparison with existing transport systems. published
P.S. And remember, just changing our consumption – together we change the world!
