Objectives - Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) Project - NASA and The Boeing Company collaboration on damage arresting composites - 10% airframe weight reduction can provide significant reduction in fuel burn and emissions - Incremental improvements to conventional “tube & wing” configuration insufficient to meet the goals - HWB configuration promises significantly improved aircraft performance - HWB requires pressurized composite airframe with nearly flat panels that transfers significant mechanical loads - Explore PRSEUS as the primary structural concept for HWB
