5 Environmental targets: The Green Challenge Advisory Council for Aeronautical Research in Europe (ACARE) target: 50% reduction in CO 2 per passenger-km by 2020 FlightPath 2050 (EU) targets: 75% reduction in CO 2 per passenger-km by % reduction in noise by 2050

8 The Green Challenge AIRBUS Concept Plane Fuel-efficient (green) design Longer, slimmer wings reduce drag. Engines at rear and semi-embedded. Reliable, quiet and fuel-efficient. U-shaped tail shields noise. Images: Airbus
9 The Green Challenge Environmentally-friendly Aircraft Low CO 2 emissions Low noise Low fuel burn High speed Low hassle Low-cost flights Perfectly safe Let s look at safety Image: Airbus

12 The amazing safety of air travel 1/8bn Source: Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archive Source: ICAO
13 Source: Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archive Source: ICAO The amazing safety of air travel NDT is not solely responsible for this increase in safety but it is largely the reason why air travel is still affordable and (reasonably) delay-free whilst also being safe.
14 Safety is improving consistently due to: advanced modelling and simulation techniques The amazing safety of air travel rigorous testing of specimens, components and full-scale tests such as on wings
15 Safety is paramount The amazing safety of air travel The absolute level of safety demanded by certifying authorities will not decrease. Manufacturing variations / deviations do not reduce safety because: designs are made stronger to maintain safety levels
16 Why Wouldn t Green Aircraft Fly? NDT will be key to the achievable level of: environmental impact (CO 2, noise, fuel burn, etc) cost (manufacture, maintenance, fuel, etc) reliability / hassle (take-off delays, cancellations) - whilst achieving certification for safe flight. Better NDT opens up the design envelope by: increasing confidence, and reducing uncertainty in performance.
17 Composite materials Increased strength compared with the same weight of metal, allowing weight reduction.
18 Composite materials Carbon-fibre polymer-matrix (plastic) composites. Long fibres made of carbon, embedded in Matrix epoxy (eg Araldite ) 1 mm
19 Composites use a stack of crossed fibres 45 /0 /-45 /90 1 mm Deviations from straight fibres reduce the strength. Composite materials mm
20 Effect of fibre waviness. 6 mm Composite materials TENSION Mukhopadhyay, Jones & Hallett (2013) Full compressive failure 6 mm Just prior to damage Fibre failure in axial ply COMPRESSION Delamination & further fibre failure
21 Composite materials Effect of fibre waviness. Mukhopadhyay, Jones & Hallett (2013) Wrinkle Angle
22 Composite materials How wrinkles are avoided Mould-shape optimisation Rigorous testing and sectioning of specimens Optimum sequence of plies, especially at corners Any remaining wrinkles are compensated by: adding extra plies (thickness) to maintain safety levels
23 Metals are only replaced by composites if: Appropriate properties are considerably improved Other materials Used for a reason Lower cost, or Harder, or Heat tolerant Image: Airbus Material breakdown for an Airbus A350 (Stansbury, 2014) Composite materials
24 AIRBUS composite usage history Image: Airbus
25 Composites Structural Weight [%] Few options for more composite components Maximum number of composite components The future for composites?
26 Non-destructive Testing (NDT) and the design envelope The more we can guarantee that performance of composite will be as expected, the happier the certifying authority will be to certify the lighter designs.
27 Why Wouldn t Green Aircraft Fly? Many of the visionary objectives are in conflict. Most of the technical challenges are expensive. Low emissions conflict with low noise in engines. Low CO 2 High cost High noise Low cost High CO 2 High noise
28 Design goals met by thinner components Less weight Less drag (friction) Less raw material Less fuel Less CO 2 Less noise At what cost? NDT and the design envelope Image: Rolls Royce. Composite fan test-bed.
29 NDT and the design envelope Manufacturing goals for thinner components High quality Confirmed quality High yield (success) High throughput Low cost NDT can help! Image: Boeing

63 Compression Failure Stress Knock-down (MPa) Knock-down of failure stress: Wrinkle Shape Parameters Analysis For a wrinkle region with fixed volume, maximum angle is the major parameter for determining compression strength. Gaussian reduction: A i = Ae i i mid 2 /n 2 4-Interface Group reduction: 1.0:0.63:0.39:0.0 Knock-down = tested pristine value (643.5 MPa ) - model value 64 Ultrasonics and NDT Group
64 Composite materials The future 3D mapping and modelling of Porosity Further gains in weight due to extra confidence
65 Summary
66 Reducing weight Increased confidence at the design stage allows: better understanding of the effect of defects designs that reduce weight, fuel and CO 2 design for low inservice maintenance
67 Reducing weight Increased confidence at manufacture allows: confirmation of conformance to design less need for extra thickness/weight to mitigate risk process-control feedback to increase manufacturing yield
68 Conclusions New, green aircraft will fly; but how green? how expensive? Depends on increased confidence in: optimised designs. conformance to design at manufacture The future: 3D mapping of internal microscopic properties Certification of lighter designs, low CO 2 emissions.
