Advanced Technologies • Composites • Stronger, lighter aircraft • Artificial Intelligence/Automated Pilot • Reduction in flight crew • Automatic flight control, collision avoidance • Fly by Light • Weight savings over copper wire • Faster response
Upper Surface Blowing • Capability to increase CLmax to 7 • Wing CLmax (clean) ≈ 1.54 • Takeoff CL (w/ upper surface blowing) ≈ 4 --Nicolai, Fundamentals of Aircraft Design, 1976
Geared Turbofans • The Geared Turbofan • Current predictions say: “The Geared Turbofan engine will deliver a 12 percent reduction in fuel burn, 50 percent reduction in noise and emissions, and 40 percent reduction in maintenance costs over today's commercial engines.”–www.pw.utc.com • By 2038 we believe it will achieve over current technology: • 30% reduction in fuel burn • 75% reduction in noise and emissions • 50% reduction in maintenance costs http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/FRHeft/FRHeft07/FRH0702/FR0702c1.JPG
Geared Turbofans • Thrust per engine - 25,000 lbs • SFC per engine - 0.42/hour • Fan Diameter - 8 ft. • Bypass Ratio - 8 http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/FRHeft/FRHeft07/FRH0702/FR0702c1.JPG
Geared Turbofans reduce CO2 produced by more than 12% compared to today’s engines Reduce cumulative noise levels about 20dB below the current Stage 4 regulations Environmental Impact
Reliability & Maintainability • Low wing with Geared Turbofans mounted at the leading edge • Easy location for engine maintenance • Geared Turbofan engines reduce maintenance costs by 40% over today's commercial engine • No complicated powered lift devices

Historical Comparison Daedalus One
Daedalus One Cabin Layout • 108 Seats, Single Class • Seat Pitch: 32 in • Seat Width: 20 in • Aisle Width: 24 in • 2 Galley Areas: 35 and 16 ft2 • 2 Lavs: ~20 ft2
Selected Design Trade-Offs • Initial design: High Wing Low Canard • Current Design: Low Wing High Canard • Reason: Landing gear placement, better accessibility for ground service, easier to maintain with lower wing • Wing Sweep Study: Result 10° • Varied Sizing Based on 10° sweep and 20° sweep • Reason: Find the most weight efficient aircraft • Upper Surface Blowing • Placed engines above the wings near leading edge • Reason: Increase lift especially for takeoff and landing
Selected Design Trade-Offs • Initial Design: Tri-tail • Current Design: Single Tail • Reason: Reduced weight, sizing proved 3 Tails not needed • Forward Wing Extension • Reason: Allows more fuel, helps move Center of Gravity forward • Elliptical Fuselage • Reason: Allow for more comfortable passenger cabin
