CINCINNATI, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) and NASA are partnering on a series of unique flight tests to help further the aviation industry's understanding of contrails, using new test methods and technologies.
辛辛那提，2024年11月15日 /PRNewswire/ — 通用電氣航空航天公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：GE）和美國宇航局正在合作進行一系列獨特的飛行測試，使用新的測試方法和技術，幫助航空業進一步了解凝結航線。
Contrails are clouds made of ice particles, which can be created when airplanes fly through cold, humid air. Persistent contrails are estimated to have a warming climate impact. Flight tests will support industry research efforts to better understand contrail science and enable new technology development that can reduce non-CO2 emissions.
Contrails 是由冰粒構成的雲層，可以在飛機在寒冷潮溼的空氣中飛行時產生。據估計，持續的凝結會對氣候變暖產生影響。飛行測試將支持行業研究工作，以更好地了解凝結科學，並促進可以減少非二氧化碳排放的新技術開發。
Flights for the Contrail Optical Depth Experiment (CODEX) will be conducted the week of November 18 from Virginia. NASA Langley Research Center's G-III aircraft will follow GE Aerospace's Flying Test Bed in the sky and scan the aircraft wake with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology. This will advance the use of LiDAR by NASA to generate three-dimensional imaging of contrails to better characterize how contrails form and how they behave over time.
Contrail光學深度實驗（CODEX）的飛行將於11月18日當週從弗吉尼亞州起飛。美國宇航局蘭利研究中心的G-III飛機將跟隨通用電氣航空航天公司的空中飛行試驗檯，並使用光探測和測距（LiDAR）技術掃描飛機尾部。這將推動美國國家航空航天局使用激光雷達生成凝結尾跡的三維成像，以更好地描述凝結尾跡的形成方式及其隨時間推移的行爲。

Open Fan, advanced combustion designs, and other propulsion systems are being developed through CFM International's Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines (RISE)* program.
對於通用電氣航空航天公司來說，這是其747飛行試驗檯的新操作方法，在計劃於本十年進行的飛行測試之前擴大了能力，以評估新的商用發動機技術的性能。開放式風扇、先進的燃燒設計和其他推進系統正在通過CfM International的可持續發動機革命性創新（RISE）*計劃進行開發。
