赛勒斯·瓦迪亚(Cyrus Wadia)呼吁加快先进材料的研发和商用速度波音787(梦幻客机)的问世让业内人士又惊又羡,同时引出一个问题:“他们是如何做到的?”787的燃油效率比此前的同类飞机提高了20%。它不仅拥有更为宽敞的客舱,而且,只需动一个按钮就能让机窗变暗。如果要把这些东西都解释清楚可能会比较复杂,但是首要一点则很简单:787采用了先进的材料,机体和机翼都采用了碳纤维复合材料,能够大幅提升燃油效率,而机窗则加入了导电变色的凝胶材料。一种新材料在被发现以后,需要大约20年或更多的时间才能被应用
Cyrus Wadia Calls for Accelerated R & D and Commercialization of Advanced Materials The advent of the Boeing 787 has surprised and envied the industry with the question: "How did they do that? The fuel efficiency of the 787 is up 20% over previous aircraft of its kind. Not only does it have a more spacious cabin, but it also dims the window with just a push of a button. It may be complicated to explain all these things, but first and foremost is simple: the 787 uses advanced materials, carbon fiber composites for both the fuselage and the wings, which dramatically increases fuel efficiency while windows are added Conductive discolored gel material. After a new material is discovered, it takes about 20 years or more to be applied
