Experimental Jet Design Aims to Cut Emissions by 50%

The design of an experimental flight test vehicle at the University of Victoria’s Centre for Aerospace Research in North Saanich is looking to change the face of business jet aviation around the world. Suleman says key design features are looking to reduce the aircraft’s emissions by 50 per cent. The difference that sets this jet design apart from others is a smooth transition between the fuselage and the wing. “That basically reduces drag,” said Suleman, meaning the plane burns far less fuel.

It’s produced from materials that reduce its weight as well. The engines have been improved for better fuel efficiency, and in an effort to damper noise pollution within the aircraft, those engines sit above the fuselage. The company behind the research project is Montreal-based Bombardier, and it’s been in the works for 15 year
