Narrowbody aircraft currently account for more than half of annual climate-impacting aviation emissions and are projected to comprise over 75% of all aircraft deliveries between 2024 and 2042. In response, the industry is exploring future aircraft concepts for the next generation of narrowbody aircraft, categorized into three types: advanced tube-and-wing designs, energy-efficient configurations, and alternative energy carrier aircraft. Among these, alternative energy carrier aircraft concepts show significant potential to drastically reduce aviation\u2019s harmful emissions. Accordingly, this thesis aims to advance the design and development of next-generation narrowbody aircraft, specifically those utilizing alternative energy carriers, to mitigate aviation\u2019s environmental impact.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETwo key challenges that could hinder the successful development and deployment of alternative energy carrier aircraft are the uncertainty surrounding emerging technologies and the potential environmental impacts beyond in-flight emissions, referred to as life cycle effects. Current design approaches for these aircraft concepts do not adequately address the combined influence of technological uncertainty and life cycle effects, which can affect vehicle design and the accuracy of quantified potential benefits. This thesis proposes an improved design methodology for alternative energy carrier aircraft by integrating uncertainty quantification and life cycle assessment into the conceptual design process. The methodology will be demonstrated through the design and analysis of a future narrowbody aircraft powered by a hybrid-electric turbofan propulsion system. Furthermore, an analysis framework will be developed to support the execution of the methodology and to facilitate comparisons of the life cycle environmental impacts of both current and future aircraft concepts.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommittee\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EProf. Dimitri Mavris \u2013 School of Aerospace Engineering (advisor)\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EProf. Graeme Kennedy \u2013 School of Aerospace Engineering\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EProf. Daniel Schrage \u2013 School of Aerospace Engineering\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDr. Raphael Gautier \u2013 School of Aerospace Engineering\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDr. Dominic Barone \u2013 The Boeing Company\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EA Methodology for Probabilistic Life Cycle Assessment-Based Design of Alternative Energy Carrier Aircraft Concepts\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"A Methodology for Probabilistic Life Cycle Assessment-Based Design of Alternative Energy Carrier Aircraft Concepts"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2024-11-20 17:31:59","changed_gmt":"2024-11-20 17:32:35","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-12-05T13:00:21-05:00","event_time_end":"2024-12-05T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-12-05T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-12-05 18:00:21","gmt_time_end":"2024-12-05 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-12-05 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Collaborative Visualization Environment (CoVE) Weber Space Science and Technology Building (SST II)","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
