2025年3月3日 · The purpose of the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator (SFD) project is to engage with industry, academia, and other government organizations to identify, select, and mature key airframe technologies – such as new wing designs – that have a high probability of transition to the next generation single-aisle seat class airliner.

2024年11月21日 · The SFD project is NASA’s effort to develop more efficient airframes as the nation moves toward sustainable aviation. The project seeks to inform the next generation of single-aisle airliners, the most common aircraft in commercial aviation fleets around the world.

Why invest in Sustainable Flight Demonstrator (SFD)? • For decades Government, Industry, and Universities have been working advanced commercial aircraft concepts • To date, these configuration have not made it to market • NASA launched the SFD project to: • Partner with industry to retire as many technical & manufacturing risks as possible

2022年6月30日 · NASA announced on Wednesday that it is looking for partners to develop technologies for its new Sustainable Flight Demonstrator (SFD) project. According to the agency, the SFD project is targeting technology for single-aisle airliners that will “reduce carbon emissions from aviation and ensure U.S. competitiveness” in single-aisle ...

2022年6月30日 · The agency's Sustainable Flight Demonstrator (SFD) project aims to reduce carbon emissions and ensure US competitiveness in a high-demand area of aircraft design – single-aisle commercial airliners.

SFD modification includes addition of Transonic Truss-Braced Wing and subsystems, modern turbo-fan engines, and instrumentation.

NASA’s Sustainable Flight Demonstrator (SFD) project aims to design, build, and flight test a full-scale single-aisle X-plane, designated X-66, equipped with a transonic truss-braced wing (TTBW) to reduce carbon emissions and improve efficiency.

2024年11月27日 · NASA reported last week its X-66 Sustainable Flight Demonstrator (SFD) project has completed its first round of low-speed wind tunnel testing at the Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The trials collected measurements on lift and drag under multiple aerodynamic configurations and flight conditions.

The goals of the SFD Project are to: • Develop and flight test an advanced airframe configuration and related technologies to dramatically reduce aircraft fuel burn and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. • Obtain ground and flight data that will be used by the Industry/NASA teams to validate the configuration and associated technologies. •

Boeing will modify MD-90 aircraft the SFD Demonstrator aircraft. Existing wings, aft engines, and fuselage sections will be removed. SFD modification includes addition of Transonic Truss …
