us improve this channel even further by double-checking that you've hit that subscribe button so you don't miss our updates now let's dive in since entering the market the plane maker has launched a variety of aircraft models to meet every need from the compact a220 to the massive Airbus A380 they can satisfy every customer with their diversity from wide body to narrow body from single aisle to Twin aisle and from short range to long range Airbus recently revealed that it is looking to continue improving the fuel efficiency of its aircraft and is in talks with engine
maker Rolls-Royce about its new narrow body aircraft Rolls-Royce also revealed that it is developing a smaller version of its ultrain demonstrator engine to explore technology for the next generation of narrow Jets CEO tuen Eran bilek said we are now progressing towards a demonstrator on what I call Small Engines is narrowbody he told reporters at the farm bur Air Show adding the company was talking to aircraft manufacturers about the technology initiative a year ago he told reporters at the equivalent Paris air show that rolls did not rule out future Partnerships in the narrow body Market but
had a sufficient runway for growth in its large engine business to live without it at the farmo International Air Show 2024 Julie kitcher the chief sustainability officer of Airbus shared with the media for every new generation of aircraft we increase fuel efficiency and therefore reduce fuel emissions by around 25% so we are always pushing for New Generation Technologies in materials and engines it is essential to stay that one technological leap ahead we have got the latest generation technology available today airba CEO has made it clear that the aircraft maker is looking for Meaningful improvements in
fuel efficiency including the ability to run engines on 100% saf which would reduce emissions at the same time we are working on hydrogen technology to have a hydrogen powered aircraft the two will complement each other to explore hydrogen powered aircraft and propulsion systems Airbus has launched the zeroe program which includes four aircraft prototypes a turbo fan a turbo prop a blended Wing body or BWB for short and a fully electric concept airbus's ambition is to bring the world's first hydrogen powered commercial aircraft to Market by 2035 to achieve that the the zeroe project is exploring
various configurations and Technologies as well as preparing the ecosystem that will produce and Supply hydrogen all four zeroe models will be hydrogen powered the manufacturer is achieving a number of technological and testing Milestones as it moves towards its ambition to bring a hydrogen powerered commercial aircraft to Market many of these revolve around the development of propulsion either through hybrid hydrogen electric fuel cells or direct combustion of hydrogen Airbus has even formed a joint venture with suppliers to develop hydrogen fuel cell Stacks as the heart of an electric propulsion system Airbus is exploring both hydrogen combustion
and Fuel Cell propulsion Technologies for which demonstrators have been launched it has also set up dedicated Development Centers in France the UK Germany and Spain to work on tanks and cryogenic fuel systems airbus's A380 msn1 test bed is leading the way in testing these Technologies which will be crucial to bringing a a hydrogen powered commercial aircraft to Market to bring Advanced aeronautical Concepts to Life future materials must be stronger lighter and more coste effective than ever before Airbus is currently exploring the potential of future materials with a focus on environmental impact multi-functionality and digitalization over
the past decades the Aerospace industry has pioneered the use of a wide range of materials to support the development of advanced aeronautical Concepts these include metals composits Ceramics Coatings and other related processes today airbus's future materials development is focused on sustainability first minimizing the use of resources and optimizing the disposal of material waste can help reduce the footprint of an aerospace product throughout its global life cycle improving its overall environmental impact next comes multi-functionality integrating multiple functions into a material can help reduce downtime in manufacturing and enable predictive maintenance furthermore it will enable advanced concepts
and improve Mission performance airbus's new Wing design is also a significant departure from traditional aircraft design it features a blended Wing body configuration which combines the fuselage and wings into a single continuous shape this design offers aerodynamic benefits the BWB design reduces drag resulting in improved fuel efficiency and longer range the BWB design allows for more efficient storage and distribution of hydrogen fuel within the aircraft structure the zero e-wing design also incorporates a hybrid electric propulsion system combining a traditional jet engine with an electric motor powered by a hydrogen fuel cell the wings are designed
to accommodate hydrogen tanks ensuring a safe and efficient storage solution for this highly flammable fuel by combining these Innovative features Airbus aims to create a more sustainable and efficient aircraft that can significantly reduce the environmental impact of Aviation the BWB Wing design is a key component of this ambitious project if you are with us until this part thank you very much please subscribe to our channel so you don't miss any hot Aviation news we would really appreciate it if you like comment and share your thoughts below this video thanks a lot developing a completely new
aircraft is extremely difficult it can take more than a decade so we also need to consider the less risky option of developing a new aircraft based on an existing version that is already in use on the market Market yes I am talking about the a 352000 the stretched version when it was first introduced industry insiders believed that its introduction would address capacity concerns Talk of the a350 stretch began in the mid-2010s as the a350 began to show its power this 2000 version with its extended fuselage from the current a 351,000 was expected to be a
big hit it would be around 4 M longer and therefore from 40 to 50 more seats than the 1,000 this would put its capacity into a more competitive range and be a differentiator that some customers might demand furthermore the added weight would not exceed the maximum possible weight of the a 351,000 therefore it could theoretically be powered by the same Rolls-Royce xwb engines if Airbus were to proceed with such a program although it was originally intended to replace the A380 when the super jumbo reached the end of its production run there is still some debate
over its capabilities first is the size Gap the A380 is the largest commercial aircraft ever built designed to carry over 800 passengers in a high density configuration even if Airbus were to develop the a 352,000 it would likely be significantly smaller than the supper jumbo jet then there is the market Niche the king of the Skies is primarily designed for Ultra Long Hall routes between major hubs its large capacity makes it ideal for connecting densely populated cities the a350 even in its stretched version may not have the same Market appeal for these particular routs however
the a 352000 if developed could potentially fill a different Market segment it could be positioned as a more efficient and flexible alternative to the A380 suitable for longer routes but with a slightly smaller capacity this could make it attractive to airlines that knee a large aircraft but do not require the extreme capacity of the a 380 ultimately the development of the a 352000 will depend on many factors including market demand technological feasibility and economic considerations to date Airbus does not appear to be actively pursuing such a project we consider that the 1,000 is large enough
when you look at the replacement of the 7300 ER which is ahead of us the 1,000 is a perfect size with more range and much better efficiency so this is the natural platform this is is where we see the market in the next 3 years said florant mudit laaker head of the Airbus widebody program the a 351,000 can carry up to 440 passengers in a high density configuration this is a very large number of passengers for a commercial aircraft and more than enough for the needs of many airlines its range is also up to 15,700
km about 9,750 Mi this is a very long range and allows the 1,000 to fly nonstop up to almost any destination in the world and it is equipped with new generation engines that are more fuel efficient than previous generations of engines it can be said that the 1,000 version is a very flexible aircraft it can be configured with many different seating arrangements to meet the needs of different airlines the a 351,000 is well positioned to meet today's Long Haul needs Airbus has said that it is not currently considering developing the a 352000 however the company
has not ruled out the possibility of implementing this version in the future if market conditions change in short Airbus is at the Forefront of Aviation Innovation exploring both new aircraft Concepts and potential upgrades to existing models the company's focus on sustainability fuel efficiency and Advanced Technologies such as hydrogen engines puts it at the Forefront of the industry the future of airbus's new aircraft is very exciting do you have any predictions about their future please comment below and let us know Airbus continues to surprise ruris its fans with groundbreaking Innovations renowned for its proactive approach to
customer feedback the airline giant has unveiled a game changer upgrade to its immensely popular a350 a model that has already achieved over 1,300 sales this revolutionary enhancement to the Trent xwb 84 engine is set to make waves across the aviation industry significantly affect both Airlines and air bus's Rivals what exactly are these game changing upgrades and how will they reshape the future of Aviation dive into today's episode to discover the answers in recent years Airbus has achieved remarkable success in expanding its market share initially aiming to compete with Boeing in the aviation industry but quickly
rising to become the leading aircraft manufacturer in the world recently Airbus has continued to affirm its strategy of prioritizing passenger experience and operational efficiency by upgrading the a350 Simon Burr the director of engineer ing Technology and Safety at Rolls-Royce emphasized the company's continued focus on optimizing the fuel performance of its Trent xwb 84 engine already a significant success in its current iteration at the Singapore air show in 2016 Rolls-Royce introduced the enhanced performance EP variant of the Trent 84 Engine with Singapore Airlines being the first to place an order this new variant draws heavily on
technological advances from the more powerful xwb 97 engine used on the Airbus a 351,000 and Lessons Learned From Advanced testing the goal of the EP model is to boost fuel efficiency by up to 1% while also cutting carbon dioxide emissions making it more environmentally friendly than the standard xwb 84 engines one of the key improvements in the EP variant is the use of newly developed turbine discs crafted from rolls-royce's proprietary super alloy branded RR 1073 initially designed for the ultrafan engine program this material is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 50 Kelvin higher than the
current rr1000 alloy allowing for a more predictable and extended service life additionally Rolls-Royce has revamp the high-press turbine blade cooling system redistributing air flow more effectively to dramatically lower operating temperatures thus enhancing the engine's longevity and performance production of these Advanced turbine discs is already underway with plans to incorporate them into both the xwb 84 and xwb 97 engine shortly the EP version also includes upgrades such as improved turbine cooling refined aerodynamics enhanced secondary air systems and Tighter seiling between turbine stages these changes are aimed at further optimizing turbine blade clearance and reducing inefficiencies meanwhile
Rolls-Royce is addressing durability challenges in the xwb 97 engine particularly for operations in hot and Sandy environments a new sand resistant coating is being developed to protect engine components and high-press turbine blades will be fitted with upgraded casting layers to minimize metal wear from extreme temperatures these enhancements are expected to be delivered by the end of the year setting new benchmarks in engine resilience and efficiency this upgrade is not only for cost savings as the aviation industry faces increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions even a small Improvement in fuel efficiency becomes critically important airlines are
under scrutiny from governments environmental groups and passengers who are um increasingly concerned about ecological impacts having a fleet with better fuel efficiency not only helps in meeting these regulatory demands but also provides a significant marketing advantage in a fiercely competitive market however the path to implementing these upgrades is numerous challenges the aviation sector is is notoriously conservative about risk and with good reason the consequences of failure can be severe affecting both safety and financial stability Rolls-Royce has subjected the new engine to rigorous testing including a two 800h hour hot cycle test of their ground facility
in Derby UK these extreme durability tests which involve monitoring 2,500 parameters highlight the company's commitment to ensuring reliability and performance these tests are crucial in validating the engine's performance and reliability before it enters widespread commercial service aiming to meet high industry standards and expectations but why has this upgrade garnered so much attention we will explore after this but before doing that listen to me you won't want to miss hot news and our interesting analysis about Aviation so please subscribe if you're new here we would appreciate it if you like share and leave your thoughts below
thanks a lot the answer is based on the intense competition within the aviation industry where even the slightest boost in performance can transform into millions of dollars in savings for Airlines fuel costs are among the largest operational expenses for Airlines and improving fuel efficiency by just 1% can be the difference between profit and loss especially on Long Haul routes to put this into perspective consider a long flight from London to singapor which typically consumes around 70,000 L of fuel a 1% reduction in fuel consumption saves 700 L per flight multiply that by hundreds of flights
each year and the savings quickly add up to millions of dollars for a single route now imagine these savings spread across an airline's entire fleet of a350 operating on numerous Global routes the financial impact becomes enormous Beyond cost savings the reduced fuel consumption also directly contributes to lower carbon emissions aligning with stricter environmental regulations and enhan enhancing the airlin sustainability credentials in a world where eco-consciousness is growing among both regulators and passengers such fuel efficiency improvements are not only economically attractive but also critical for the airline's image and long-term competitiveness the real test for these
upgraded engines will come when they are widely deployed in commercial service if successful the improvements could solidify the a350s position as the most efficient Long Haul aircraft in its class allowing to maintain a Competitive Edge for years to come Airlines operating the upgraded a350 may see significant improvements in profitability giving them a competitive advantage in an industry where profit margins are notoriously slim but what happens if despite all precautions unforeseen issues arise once these engines enter widespread commercial use the aviation industry still remembers the reliability issues Rolls-Royce faced with its Trent 1,000 engines on the
Boeing 787 Dreamliner these problems led to aircraft groundings major disruptions for Airlines and significant financial losses causing Rolls-Royce billions and reducing its market share if similar issues arise with the new upgraded engines Airlines operating the a350 could face groundings flight cancellations and massive Financial impacts for Airbus the risk is high any failure in performance or reliability could damage its hard-earned reputation and lead to order cancellations or shifts to competitors threatening its position in the widebody market Rolls-Royce also stands to suffer significantly if things go wrong the company has invested heavily in these upgrades both financially
and in terms of its reputation a major engine failure could threaten its future in the commercial Aviation Market however it's these very high risks that often Drive innovation in the aviation industry the potential rewards From Success are just as enormous as the risks of failure in your opinion are there any further obstacles or limitations for this engine should Rolls-Royce and Airbus succeed in delivering on their promises they would gain a considerable Competitive Edge Airlines operating more fuel efficient aircraft would stand to save substantial costs over the lifespan of the aircraft potentially influencing Fleet decisions for
many years to come so how this upgrade from Airbus effect to Boeing the upgrade of a350 engines presents a significant challenge for Boeing especially in the Long Haul aircraft Market Boeing's 787 Dreamliner has long been praised for its fuel efficiency and operational performance but this manufacturer's latest move threatens to overshadow those advantages a 1% Improvement in fuel consumption efficiency for the a350 may seem minor but in the aviation industry even small numbers can have a substantial impact on airlines purchasing decisions now Boeing faces the hard task of not only matching but surpassing these improvements to
regain its Competitive Edge this challenge is further Complicated by Boeing's recent history the company's reputation took a hit following the issues surrounding the 737 Max which raised serious questions about Boeing's quality control and inspection processes these setbacks eroded customer trust and now Boeing must not only work to rebuild that trust but also demonstrate its ability to deliver competitive products moving forward the a350 upgrade by air bus particularly through its collaboration with Rolls-Royce on the Trent xwb engine could attract more customers potentially putting Boeing at risk of losing its main market share in the Long Haul
aircraft segment if Boeing can't keep up with their advancements it could see its position in the market weaken further looking ahead competition between Airbus and Boeing will intensify especially as both companies face increasing demands from Airlines for performance and efficiency Airbus with its A3 350 engine upgrade is setting a new standard that Boeing will have to keep up with from the consumer perspective this could lead to significant improvements in service and comfort on Long Haul flights as Airlines continue to optimize costs and enhance the passenger experience however the aviation industry is unstable and factors such
as new technology developments environmental policies and global economic fluctuations could influence how Airlines and manufacturers tackle future challenges as we continue to observe these developments it's essential to remember that Innovations in aviation not only impact aircraft manufacturers but also each passenger with the hope that every upgrade leads to safer and more economical flights as discussed this has a significant impact on Boeing we leave open the question of what Boeing needs to do to listen to your feedback so feel free to let us know by leaving a comment below thank you and see you next time
