- as technology continues to evolve the
- aviation industry is constantly changing
- to deliver modern environmentally
- friendly aircraft that are also
- efficient major aircraft manufacturers
- are in a battle to win the trust of
- customers while Boeing is still stuck in
- the mud brought by the 737 Max is this
- an opportunity for Airbus the European
- manufacturer recently revealed the idea
- of a Next Generation aircraft that has
- shocked the entire industry so what will
- this new aircraft bring why is it
- attracting so much attention let's find
- out in today's episode but before we
- start if you're new please help us
- improve this channel even further by
- double-checking that you've hit that
- subscribe button so you don't miss our
- updates now let's dive in since entering
- New aircraft
- the market the plane maker has launched
- a variety of aircraft models to meet
- every need from the compact a220 to the
- massive Airbus A380 they can satisfy
- every customer with their diversity from
- wide body to narrow body from single
- aisle to Twin aisle and from short range
- 1:00
- to long range Airbus recently revealed
- that it is looking to continue improving
- the fuel efficiency of its aircraft and
- is in talks with engine maker
- Rolls-Royce about its new narrowbody
- aircraft Rolls-Royce also revealed that
- it is developing a smaller version of
- its ultrain demonstrator engine to
- explore technology for the next
- generation of narrow body Jets CEO tuen
- Eran bilek said we are now progressing
- towards a demonstrator on what I call
- Small Engines is narrowbody he told
- reporters at the farm Boro Air Show
- adding the company was talking to
- aircraft manufacturers about the
- technology initiative a year ago he told
- reporters at the equivalent Paris air
- show that rolls did not rule out future
- Partnerships in the narrowbody market
- but had a sufficient runway for growth
- in its large engine business to live
- without it at the farmborough
- International Air Show 2024 Julie
- kitcher the chief sustainability officer
- of Airbus shared with the media for
- every new generation of aircraft we
- 2:00
- increase fuel efficiency and therefore
- reduce fuel emissions by around 25% so
- we are always pushing for New Generation
- Technologies in materials and engines it
- is essential to stay that one
- technological leap ahead we have got the
- latest generation technology available
- today Airbus CEO has made it clear that
- the aircraft maker is looking for
- Meaningful improvements in fuel
- efficiency including the ability to run
- engines on 100% saf which would reduce
- emissions at the same time we are
- working on hydrogen technology to have a
- hydrogen powered aircraft the two will
- complement each other to explore
- hydrogen powered aircraft and propulsion
- systems Airbus has launched the zeroe
- program which includes four aircraft
- prototypes a turbo fan a turbo prop a
- blended Wing body or BWB for short and a
- fully electric concept airbus's ambition
- is to bring the world's first hydrogen
- powered commercial aircraft to Market by
- 2035 to achieve that the zeroe project
- 3:00
- is exploring various configurations and
- Technologies as well as preparing the
- ecosystem that will produce and Supply
- hydrogen all four zeroe models will be
- hydrogen powered the manufacturer is
- achieving a number of technological and
- testing Milestones as it moves towards
- its ambition to bring a hydrogen-powered
- commercial aircraft to Market many of
- these revolve around the development of
- propulsion either through hybrid
- hydrogen electric fuel cells or direct
- combustion of hydrogen Airbus has even
- formed a joint venture with suppliers to
- develop hydrogen fuel cell Stacks as the
- heart of an electric propulsion system
- Airbus is exploring both hydrogen
- combustion and Fuel Cell propulsion
- Technologies for which demonstrators
- have been launched it has also set up
- dedicated Development Centers in France
- the UK Germany and Spain to work on
- tanks and cryogenic fuel systems
- airbus's A380 msn1 test bed is leading
- the way in testing these Technologies
- which will be crucial to bringing a
- hydrogen powered commercial aircraft to
- 4:01
- Market to bring Advanced aeronautical
- Future Materials
- Concepts to Life future materials must
- be stronger lighter and more coste
- effective than ever before Airbus is
- currently exploring the potential of
- future materials with a focus on
- environmental impact
- multi-functionality and digitalization
- over the past decades the Aerospace
- industry has pioneered the use of a wide
- range of materials to support the
- development of advanced aeronautical
- Concepts these include metals composits
- Ceramics Coatings and other related
- processes today airbus's future
- materials development is focused on
- sustainability first minimizing the use
- of resources and optimizing the disposal
- of material waste can help reduce the
- footprint of an aerospace product
- throughout its global life cycle
- improving its overall environmental
- impact next comes multifunctionality
- integrating multiple functions into a
- material can help reduce downtime in
- manufacturing and enable predictive
- maintenance
- 5:00
- furthermore it will enable advanced
- concepts and improve Mission performance
- Wing design
- airbus's new Wing design is also a
- significant departure from traditional
- aircraft design it features a blended
- Wing body configuration which combines
- the fuselage and wings into a single
- continuous shape this design offers
- aerodynamic benefits the BWB design
- reduces drag resulting in improved fuel
- efficiency and longer range the BWB
- design allows for more efficient storage
- and distribution of hydrogen fuel within
- the aircraft structure the zero e-wing
- design also incorporates a hybrid
- electric propulsion system combining a
- traditional jet engine with an electric
- motor powered by a hydrogen fuel cell
- the wings are designed to accommodate
- hydrogen tanks ensuring a safe and
- efficient storage solution for this
- highly flammable fuel by combining these
- Innovative features Airbus aims to
- create a more sustainable and efficient
- aircraft that can significantly reduce
- the environmental impact of Aviation the
- 6:00
- BWB Wing design is a key component of
- this ambitious project if you are with
- us until this part thank you very much
- please subscribe to our channel so you
- don't miss any hot Aviation news we
- would really appreciate it if you like
- comment and share your thoughts below
- this video thanks a lot developing a
- A350-2000?
- completely new aircraft is extremely
- difficult it can take more than a decade
- so we also need to consider the less
- risky option of developing a new
- aircraft based on an existing version
- that is already in use on the market
- Market yes I am talking about the a
- 352000 the stretched version when it was
- first introduced industry insiders
- believed that its introduction would
- address capacity concerns Talk of the
- a350 stretch began in the mid-2010s as
- the a350 began to show its power this
- 2000 version with its extended fuselage
- from the current a 351,000 was expected
- to be a big hit it would be around 4 M
- longer and therefore car from 40 to 50
- 7:01
- more seats than the
- 1,000 this would put its capacity into a
- more competitive range and be a
- differentiator that some customers might
- demand furthermore the added weight
- would not exceed the maximum possible
- weight of the a 351,000
- therefore it could theoretically be
- powered by the same Rolls-Royce xwb
- engines if Airbus were to proceed with
- such a program although it was
- originally intended to replace the A380
- when the super jumbo reached the end of
- its production run there is still some
- debate over its capabilities first is
- the size Gap the A380 is the largest
- commercial aircraft ever built designed
- to carry over 800 passengers in a high
- density configuration even if Airbus
- were to develop the a 352,000 it would
- likely be significantly smaller than the
- supper jumbo jet then there is the
- market Niche the king of the Skies is
- primarily designed for ultr Long Hall
- routes between major hubs its large
- capacity makes it ideal for connecting
- 8:00
- densely populated cities the a350 even
- in its stretched version may not have
- the same Market appeal for these
- particular routs however the a 352000 if
- developed could potentially fill a
- different Market segment it could be
- positioned as a more efficient and
- flexible alternative to the A380
- suitable for longer routes but with a
- slightly smaller capacity this could
- make it attractive to airlines that knee
- a large aircraft but do not require the
- extreme capacity of the a 380 ultimately
- the development of the a 352000 will
- depend on many factors including market
- demand technological feasibility and
- economic considerations to date Airbus
- does not appear to be actively pursuing
- such a project we consider that the
- 1,000 is large enough when you look at
- the replacement of the 7 300 ER which is
- ahead of us the 1,000 is a perfect size
- with more range and much better
- efficiency so this is the natural
- platform this is is where we see the
- 9:00
- market in the next 3 years said florant
- masudi laaker head of the Airbus
- widebody program the a 351,000 can carry
- up to 440 passengers in a high density
- configuration this is a very large
- number of passengers for a commercial
- aircraft and more than enough for the
- needs of many airlines its range is also
- up to 15,700 km about
- 9,750 Mi this is a very long range and
- allows the 1,000 to fly nonstop up to
- almost any destination in the world and
- it is equipped with new generation
- engines that are more fuele efficient
- than previous generations of engines it
- can be said that the 1000 version is a
- very flexible aircraft it can be
- configured with many different seating
- arrangements to meet the needs of
- different airlines the a 351,000 is well
- positioned to meet today's Long Haul
- needs Airbus has said that it is not
- currently considering developing the a
- 352000 however the company has not ruled
- out the possibility of implementing this
- 10:01
- version in the future if market
- conditions change in short Airbus is at
- Concluding
- the Forefront of Aviation Innovation
- exploring both new aircraft Concepts and
- potential upgrades to existing models
- the company's focus on sustainability
- fuel efficiency and Advanced
- Technologies such as hydrogen engines
- puts it at the Forefront of the industry
- the future of airbus's new aircraft is
- very exciting do you have any
- predictions about their future please
