Episode Synopsis "The Silent Aircraft"
We’re all well used to the roar of the jet engine. Those living under flight paths or near our airports have even learnt to live with its regular intrusions. But the search is now on for something that will revolutionise the aviation industry – the silent aircraft. A prototype plane is still some time off, but a team headed by researchers from the University of Cambridge and MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts is developing a design for a low fuel burn and ultra-low noise level aircraft. It’s also going to have a dramatic effect on the debate over aircraft sustainability. Tom Hynes is a Reader in Cambridge University Engineering Department, and Steven Barrett is a Lecturer in Transport Technology at the University of Cambridge. Reporter: Richard Hollingham.
