Joint Propulsion Conference Panel to Highlight 'Addressing Aviation Energy Demand Through Propulsion Efficiency'
RESTON, Va., July 28 -- The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) will present a special public policy panel, "Addressing Aviation Energy Demand Through Propulsion Efficiency," on August 4 at 12:30 p.m., as part of the 45th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference, taking place August 2-5 at the Colorado Convention Center, Denver, Colo.
The panel will explore "demand-side" fuel efficiency, calling for reduced fossil fuel consumption in the aerospace sector through increased aircraft engine efficiency, decreased aircraft weight, and improved aerodynamic efficiency of aircraft fuselages. Panelists will address the framework of goals and objectives for increased efficiency established by the National Aeronautics Research and Development Policy, and the ongoing efforts of government and industry to meet those goals.
Featured panelists include: Dale Carson, executive for advanced engine systems, GE Aviation; Fay Collier, project manager, environmentally responsible aviation integrated system research program, NASA; Bill Koop, chief, Turbine Engine Division, Air Force Research Laboratory; Jayant Sabnis; director of systems analysis and aerodynamics, Pratt & Whitney; and Jeff Moorehouse, senior manager, propulsion systems, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company.
