Environmental Impact
70% of aircraft exhanust
CO2
NextGen relies on what technology?
GPS
Major factor to integrating drones into the national airspace system
Ensuring manned and unmanned aircraft don't collide
Benefit of electric aircraft
no emissions, easier to maintain, no noise
Length of one year in Earth days
687
Ways aircraft noise pollution negatively impact human health and behavior?
Hearing loss, Sleep deprivation, stress
NextGen replaces radio communication with
Data exchange
Technology used to "sense-and-avoid" to prevent collisions between manned and unmanned aircraft?
ADS-B, Laser, Video, GPS
Aircraft that can complete all phases of flight without human intervention, including responding to inflight emergencies and avoiding other traffic, are considered?
Fully autonomous
Low temperature on Mars
-195 F or -125 C
Best way to reduce aircraft emissions
efficiency or reduced fuel consumption
Old technology used by FAA to gather information about aircraft in the sky?
Radar
Geofencing utilitizes what technology to create invisible boundaries
GPS
Human on-board flight navigators became obsolete when what were developed?
Computer navigation systems
Where do you get water on Mars
Ground ice
Two emissions account for almost all of aircraft emissions
Water vapor, CO2
ADS-B
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast
How are drones currently used in society?
Law enforcement, assist first responders, monitor wildlife
Done or occuring spontaneously, without conscious thought or intention
Automatic
Where do you get oxygen on Mars
CO2 in the air
Calculated daily by the Environmental Protection Agency, measure of clean or polluted air
Air Quality Index (AQI)
Number of aircraft in the air at peak traffic times in the US
5,000
Invisible barrier to keep drones out or in specific areas
Geofencing
Electric airplnes need better what to become practical
batteries, specifically better power to weight ration
minimum and maximum distance (in miles) between Mars and Earth
35 million to 235 million miles
