The Flight of the Future: Will it be Green?

In Europe scientists are working on project Clean Sky. This project is biased on making aircraft quieter, cleaner, and all around more environmentally friendly. The goal is to achieve new structural and aerodynamic concepts. They are testing different designs on the body of the aircraft. Experts want a 50 percent reduction in carbon dioxide and in noise. If everything goes OK then nitrogen oxide should be decreased by 80 percent. They wish to achieve these feats by 2020. There are 16 different nations working on this project.

I think this is good thing to work on. I think the US needs to be included in this project as well. We need to protect our environment as much as we possibly can. I wonder how much pollution air planes actually make a year. I do not think scientists will be able to reduce all of that stuff by 2020. They have to do a lot of work. I wonder if doing this will reduce to price of air planes in general. All I've got to say is good luck!

I'm not lazy I just decide to not do stuff. Oh wait, that does mean I am lazy.
