NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING
NANO MATERIALS
1.CARBON BASED
These nonmaterial's are composed mostly of carbon, most
commonly taking the form of a hollow spheres, ellipsoids, or tubes.
Spherical and ellipsoidal carbon nonmaterial's are referred to as
fullerenes, while cylindrical ones are called nanotubes.
2.METAL BASED
These nonmaterial's include quantum dots (closely packed
semiconductor crystal comprised of hundreds or thousands of
atoms, and whose size is on the order of a few manometers to a
few hundred manometers), nanogold, nanosilver and metal oxides,
such as titanium dioxide. Changing the size of quantum dots
changes their optical properties.
Nanotechnology for Aerospace Applications :
• Diamonded material
• Price of diamonded
vehicles compared
to that of titanium
vehicles
• Carbon nanotubes
have a Young’s
modulus
comparable to
diamond
• Launch Vehicles
Advanced Composites Materials
Schematic section of a helicopter rotor blade
 Composites materials are
combinations of two or more
organic or inorganic
components
 Consist of high strength nano
fibers embedded in a matrix
 Materials are:
o Matrix material: material that
holds everything together.
e g . epoxy, bismaleimide, or
polyimide.
o Fibers: serve as a
reinforcement, embedded in
the matrix.
e g. glass fiber, boron fiber,
carbon fiber
• Nano Fibers are laid out in
tape or fabric form
• put in a mold under heat and
pressure.
• The resin matrix flows over
nano fibers
• Heat is remover and it
solidifies.
• It can be formed into various
shapes. In some cases,
• the fibers are wound tightly to
increase strength.
http://people.sabanciuniv.edu/~yusufm/r
• Traditionally used: Aluminum
metal
• Aluminum made planes heavier,
consume more fuel
• Fiberglass was first used in the
Boeing 707 passenger jet in the
1950s, only 2% of the structure.
• Now , about one-third of the
structure of the commercial planes
uses composites
• Composites are stronger
• Composites makes aircrafts lighter
:~ 20% lighter
• Fuel efficient
Space Elevator
• A space elevator is a
proposed type of space
transportation system .
• Its main component is a
ribbon-like cable anchored to
the surface and extending
into space.
• It is designed to permit
vehicle transport along the
cable from a planetary
surface, such as the Earth's,
directly into space or
orbit, without the use of large
rockets.
Aerospace Paint and Sealant
• Sealants to seal the structures like
fuel tanks, aerodynamic sealing, and
windshield installation
• PPG Aerospace chromate-free de-
paint/repaint process includes a
epoxy primer
• Based on nanotechnology
– Environment friendly
– Better adhesion
– Corrosion resistant
Deicing
•When a plane is in the air, icing
can occur
•plane’s performance suffers
and disasters can occur.
•Currently used techniques:
•use bleed air: heating the
surface with engine bleed
air
•mechanical boot: breaking
the bond between surface
and ice
• Issues:
•Too complex,
•too heavy
•draws too much power to
be effective
Possibilities for the future
• Nanotechnology may make it possible to manufacture lighter, stronger, and
programmable materials that
– require less energy to produce than conventional material
– and that promise greater fuel efficiency in land transportation, ships, aircraft, and
space vehicles.
• The future of nanotechnology could very well include the use of nanorobotics.
• These nanorobots have the potential to take on human tasks as well as tasks that
humans could never complete. The rebuilding of the depleted ozone layer could
potentially be able to be performed.
• There would be an entire nano surgical field to help cure everything from natural aging
to diabetes to bone spurs.
• The applications of nanotechnology in aerospace were
very interesting. Some of the applications appear to be
so far in the future that they are not worth mentioning,
such as the space elevator.
• Would have liked to see an analysis for the time
estimate to implement the carbon nano-tubes in the
replacing copper wires.
• Since there are other advancing aerospace programs,
we would have liked to know about any other
applications that these programs are exploring. We
would like to know if these programs are progressing
in this research more rapidly then NASA.
Concept of Information :
Drawbacks
– Nano-particles can get into
the body through the skin,
lungs and digestive system,
thus creating free radicals
that can cause cell damage.
– Once nano-particles are in
the bloodstream, they will
be able to cross the blood-
brain barrier.
– The most dangerous Nano-
application use for military
purposes is the Nano-
bomb that contain
engineered self multiplying
deadly viruses that can
continue to wipe out a
community, country or
even a civilization.
“Miniaturisation has obvious advantages
in terms of reducing the weight of
cables and thus the overall weight of the
aircraft, helping to lower fuel costs. The
huge number of cables installed in a
modern military aircraft can have a
significant impact on an its weight.”
Note :
Even though nanotechnology is a fairly new area, it has incredible potential and is a really
exciting area to be involved in.
Many of the applications discussed here are speculative to say the least. However, they do
not appear to violate the laws of physics.
The time-to-nanotechnology will be measured in decades, not years. While a few
applications will become feasible in the next few years.
The time-to-nanotechnology is very sensitive to the level of effort expended. Resources
allocated to developing nanotechnology are likely to be richly rewarded, particularly in the
long term.
In recent years every country is showing a lot of interest regarding the space exploration
programs . And, hence let's expect a faster growth of nanotechnology in aerospace-
applications.
Future Scope :
Future Needs and Opportunities in
Nanotechnology for Aerospace Applications
Future Needs and Opportunities in Nanotechnology for Aerospace Applications
Future Needs and Opportunities in Nanotechnology for Aerospace Applications
Finally,
My intention towards “Nanotechnology in Aeronautical “ is to
Become a Research scientist to develope , Innovate a new Nano-coated
composite material consisting of very lighter, stronger , more durable and cost
effective and that composite material can be used by Different Airline
Industries, Military & Defense aircrafts as well Worldwide….!!!
If I get a chance am eagerly wanted to work in the Research field
with NASA or Indian Defense sector, For my further Research Programme.
“ Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star. “

Editor's Notes

  • #6: Aerospace Engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. It is divided into two major and overlapping branches. Aeronautical Engineering Astronautical Engineering It involves designing aircraft such as powered lighter-than –aircraft, gliders, fixed wing airplanes, jets, autogyro’s and helicopter.
