Future Aviation, Opening up Space for Imagination
2024-03-21
What will future aviation look like? From materials to engines, from communication to energy and power, people are speculating where disruptive changes will occur? Generally speaking, material manufacturing is the foundation of aviation development, and energy and power have a decisive impact on aircraft. Information electronics will comprehensively transform traditional aviation forms... 1. The development of aircraft aims at high energy and intelligent "dual carbon" goals, requiring civil aviation to develop in a green and low-carbon direction. Civil aviation will be more environmentally friendly, safer, and more economical. The overall trend of aviation technology development is the composite development of high-energy and intelligence, with high-energy as the "body" and intelligence as the "soul". High energy is the greater control over energy and matter, which determines the physical boundaries that aviation equipment can reach and has a direct impact on performance indicators such as flight altitude, range, speed, and maneuverability. Intelligence is the control of the information and cognitive domains, which determines the ability of aviation equipment application and can achieve higher efficiency and more accurate decision-making. High energy aviation mainly includes high kinetic energy, high energy supply, and efficient energy utilization. High kinetic energy mainly corresponds to the technological innovation direction of aviation platforms. High speed flight, super maneuverability, and long-term stagnation are all the core demands of its development. The speed ranges from subsonic and supersonic to hypersonic, altitude from low altitude, hollow to high altitude, and near space, with clearance time ranging from several hours, tens of hours to several days. High kinetic energy can play an important role in the aviation industry, such as the application of low sonic detonation supersonic civil aircraft. High energy supply mainly corresponds to the direction of technological innovation in aviation power. High thrust to weight ratio, high fuel efficiency, high power extraction, and new energy systems are becoming the main development trends of aviation power systems, including active flow control of intake and exhaust, high-pressure compression systems, new concept power systems, and other related technologies, which are currently hot topics in aviation power research. In addition, electric aircraft and hydrogen powered technology will also become the forefront of low-carbon industries, creating greater environmental and economic potential for the future civil aviation industry. Efficient energy utilization mainly corresponds to the technological innovation direction of aviation electromechanical technology. Among them, multi electric/all electric technology, whole aircraft energy optimization, transformative energy transmission and storage, etc. will play a key role in the aviation power electrical system, thereby significantly improving the performance level of the aircraft. The core of aviation intelligence lies in enabling aircraft to have autonomous perception, decision-making, execution, and evolution capabilities. Autonomous perception enables aircraft to classify and recognize complex environments and targets through various sensors and data fusion, generating information that can be used for decision-making; Autonomous decision-making can fully leverage the advantages of artificial intelligence in terms of information processing speed and processing capacity. By comprehensively utilizing perceptual information and decision algorithms, it can quickly make decisions that maximize benefits in various complex scenarios, achieving "machine owner assistance" or even "complete autonomy"; Autonomous execution enables humans to transition from issuing operational instructions to issuing task instructions. Machines autonomously plan tasks and make real-time adjustments during the execution process, ultimately replacing the role of humans in task execution; Based on the "autonomous genetic evolution" algorithm, autonomous evolution can endow intelligent aircraft with characteristics of living organisms, and cognitive decision-making levels can evolve in real-time through continuous learning, enhancing capabilities autonomously to cope with new environments. It should be said that intelligence will greatly improve the performance of aircraft
