Air transportation systems with speed and mobility are indispensable to our society, and need to meet the evolving demands as we shift toward a sustainable society. While there are demands for faster and more accessible air transportation systems that can fly faster and farther from anywhere at any time, the emergence of innovative systems that enable drastic improvements in environmental performances are also required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Silent supersonic transport technology
|
Following the completion of the D-SEND project(FY2010-FY2015), which successfully demonstrated the validity of our unique sonic boom reduction technology in the form of flight test for the first time in the world, we are now working on integrated design technologies that satisfy multiple design requirements simultaneously — low noise during takeoff and landing and lighter airframes, in addition to low sonic boom and low drag. |

JAXA has been promoting studies on electric and hybrid aircraft for drastic reduction of CO2 emissions in aviation. Our ongoing studies mainly address themes around hybrid propulsion systems, such as electric generator system having combined cycle of fuel cell and gas turbine and distributed electric fan system. |
