A team from Eastern Mennonite University is the first from the United States to join an international collaborative project to design an economically viable, hypersonic, 300-passenger aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\n

The H2020 STRATOFLY academy, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known popularly as CERN) and the European Space Agency have invited input from university teams through a massive open online platform, said Professor <\/span>Stefano<\/strong> Colafranceschi<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Its goal is \u201chigh-speed civil passenger transport along antipodal routes in the stratosphere\u201d by 2030-35, <\/span>according to its Twitter page<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The EMU team \u2013 Isaac Andreas, Duncan Ferency-Viars, Ethan Herman, Jacob Horsley, Philip Park<\/strong> and Graham Stauffer<\/strong> \u2013 will focus on remote sensing with fiber optics to provide the plane\u2019s pilots and computers with real-time monitoring of plane conditions, and on advanced programmable computer architecture, said Colafranceschi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stauffer, a senior computer science major, said he joined the cross-discipline team to gain hands-on, real-world programming and testing experience. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to being able to work with new people I haven\u2019t yet gotten to take classes with,\u201d he said, \u201cas well as being able to work on a project that combines my field of study (computer science) with my personal interests in aviation and engineering.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The European Union-funded STRATOFLY project \u201cis highly multidisciplinary and combines technological and operative issues,\u201d its <\/span>website<\/span><\/a> states. In addition to economic, public safety and other issues, a new hypersonic jet must integrate \u201cinnovative propulsion systems, unconventional structural configurations and systems for the thermal and energy management\u201d with reduced emissions and noise, among other attributes.<\/span><\/p>\n

International connections \u2013 specifically \u201cgetting to learn from and connect with people from all over\u201d \u2013 drew Andreas, a sophomore math and computer science major, to the project, as did the more immediate experience of being part of the team. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly learning collaboration skills will be helpful in the future,\u201d he said. \u201cI hope we can add something substantial from EMU.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, Colafranceschi told the team, any contributions to such a project face a tricky test: integration with all other aspects of the plane\u2019s design. That will take research and trial and error. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t expect that whatever you will do will be successful,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are many things that will go wrong. Satisfaction is when you see that your component is happily integrated into the larger project.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
