Going Green
This gas makes up 70% of aircraft emissions.
What is Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
This is the name of the system that will replace traditional radar-based atc.
What is Next Gen?
This supersonic aircraft was designed in a joint effort involving several European countries.
What was the Concorde?
This renewable technology allows an aircraft to harness energy from the sun.
What are solar panels?
This planet is our closest neighbor.
What is mars?
This device is added to the rear of jet engines to reduce noise pollution.
What are chevrons?
Geofencing depends on this technology.
What is GPS?
What is mach 1.0?
This is the regime when a vehicle exceeds five times the speed of sound.
What is hypersonic?
This could be a viable alternative power source for solar power on other planets.
What is nuclear power?
This value is reported by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and represents air quality.
What is Air Quality Index (AQI)?
This is the time period when radar-based atc became commonplace.
When was the 1940s?
This is a regime of flight that exceeds the speed of sound.
What is supersonic flight?
On older aircraft, this crew member was required to monitor engines, hydraulics, and electronics.
What is a flight engineer?
Because of this factor, astronauts need to exercise extra on planets such as mars.
What is gravity?
This emission is considered to have a greenhouse effect at high altitudes. It typically makes up a contrail.
What is water vapor?
This is the peak amount of air traffic.
What is 5000?
This is a major advantage of electric aircraft over combustion aircraft when considering the greenhouse effect.
What are zero emissions?
What is flying safely without a pilot?
This gas can be processed to produce breathable oxygen.
What is Carbon Dioxide (CO2)?
This alternative fuel could be used on existing jet engines to reduce emissions.
What are biofuels?
This system relies upon several methods of data input including: video, lasers, and ADS-B.
What is sense-and-avoid?
This term refers to freedom from external control and/or influence.
What is autonomy?
This was the first electric aircraft to circumnavigate the world.
What was the Solar Impuse?
Humans are protected from this on earth, but extra precautions will need to be considered when traveling into deep space.
What is radiation?
