Green Engine VITAL Aims to reduce Aircraft engine noise Carbon dioxide emissions Major Partners SNECMA Airbus France Volvo Aero Rolls Royce

Green Engine Contra Rotating Turbofan (CRTF) Two fans turning in opposite directions Reduce the fan rotating speed by 30% Same performance as a conventional fan Slower tip speeds, reduces fan noise Higher bypass ratio, results in lower fuel burn Reduced carbon dioxide emissions

Future Developments Lilypad Project Futuristic concept Series of floating self-sufficient ocean-going eco-city islands. Support great deal of biodiversity. Collecting pools located in their centers would gather and filter water for use on board. For adventurers and refugees alike as water levels rise around the world.

Future Developments Bahrain World Trade Center Three massive wind turbines Accelerates air moving between towers Generate even more power Largest wind-powered design in a massive building

Future Developments MagLev Wind Turbine Using magnetism to levitate the blades Theoretically survive for centuries Power up to 750,000 homes 1 maglev wind turbine equals to 1000 standard wind mills

Future Developments Solar Tower Surrounded by 600 steel reflectors Sunrays directed at a single point Turn water into steam. The steam moves through turbines and generates energy.

Future Developments Dongtan Eco-City Environmentally, socially, economically and culturally sustainable city Relies on its own wind and solar energy as well as organic farming strategies Prototype for large-scale city planning Fully eco-friendly mindset.

Future Developments Lighthouse Skyscraper 1000-foot-tall office skyscraper Designed to use about half the water and energy of a typical high-rise building Solar energy collection and wind farming techniques Improve recovery of energy and water within the building.

Future Developments Orbiting Solar Arrays Array of solar panels placed into orbit. Beam the solar power back down to a receptor Converted into electricity. No interruption of the flow due to adverse weather conditions or being night.
