Over the past few years, the aerospace industry has seen countless innovations coming to fruition with many more on the horizon. Here are six emerging aerospace technologies you’ll want to know about: (1) Zero-Fuel Aircraft: The idea of a zero-fuel aircraft has gained a lot of traction recently in both civil and commercial sectors. The concept can be used in agriculture, aerial photography, 3D mapping, wildlife protection, and the provision of internet access in remote places. But how does it work? According to Avimanyu Basu, a lead analyst at Technavio for aerospace research: “Zero-fuel aircraft use photovoltaic panels to utilize solar energy to provide necessary thrust to the engines. The Solar Impulse 2, a solar-powered prototype had nano carbon fiber reinforced structural components to reduce the overall weight of the body”. The recent surge in interest has put pressure on global aerospace and defense industries to create a long-term developm...
