Scientists from Britain told about future developments of aviation. Professor Ashley Dove Jay of Bristol University believes that after 40 years of flying machines have changed greatly.
The main changes will occur to the power supply, the new aircraft will no longer fly on kerosene. Likely to fuel them to replace the battery. To do this, scientists need to learn to do a battery with a firepower of 400 watt-hours / kilogram. Today, the most powerful batteries have a maximum of 300 watt-hours / kilogram.
Perhaps the planes of the future will be powered and solar panels. The prerequisites for such possible future testing of steel «solar» airplane Solar Impulse HB-SIA in Switzerland. This prototype was able to fly a duration of 87 minutes 1200 meters.
Also, scientists do not rule replacing conventional solid airplane wings more soft.
