Now the automotive sector in the pursuit of new energy, aerospace whether it can be the case? Now it is possible to use a solar-powered aircraft will transport passengers rushed Japan to Hawaii, but on a larger scale or volume of passenger aircraft, it seems impossible. Although there have been efforts to try to cleaner fuels to reduce the impact on the environment, but from now with little success. But now, the Boeing company plans to change all that, would use nuclear fusion. And laser technology to power the aircraft.
Now most of the aircraft, such as Boeing 787 is used turbofan engine, the use of fans and air turbine to ignite the fuel. In Boeing's new engine, the high-energy laser vaporize first thruster in nuclear material, nuclear fusion reaction triggered. These small explosion released high-energy neutrons will advance aircraft forward, and excess heat is used to drive a turbine, the laser system is charged. It can be said that in addition to powerful engines, but also both the self-sufficiency.
Boeing now has patented this technology and want except aircraft, the future can be applied in missiles, rockets and spacecraft. Of course, for now this is just a novel idea and want to turn it into reality requires more effort, and also spent a lot of time. But if the future practical application of this technology really can, then for the entire aviation sector undoubtedly it is a big step forward.
