HOW CAN WE MAKE SOLAR PANELS MORE RELEVANT IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING?,JACOB LENOX, RISHEE JAYASIMHA

WHAT ARE SOLAR PANELS?  Solar panels are a technology which converts light into electricity 1  Utilize any source of light (usually sun) to produce electricity 1  Solar panels are a collection of solar cells 1  Solar cells produce more electricity when 1 :  There are more grouped together  Light hits them more directly (higher intensity) 1. "Power." What Are Solar Panels? N.p., n.d. Web. 03 Nov

CURRENT USES OF SOLAR PANELS  Today:  Homes 1  Cars 1  Solar Impulse 1  Satellites 1  ISS 1  Large scale powering of factories and research facilities 1 1 Null, Jan. “Harnessing the Sun: The Promises of Solar Energy.” Weatherwise (August 2010). n. pag. Web. 27 September International Space Station (top) ( Solar Dynamics Observatory (bottom) (

POSSIBLE USES IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING  Power of electronic systems on airplanes  Solar panels on fuselage or wings 1 2  Satellites 3  Future spacecraft 3 NASA Concept ( pdf) 1 "Solar Impulse - Around the World to Promote Clean Technologies."

SOLAR IMPULSE  Solar Powered 1  The top of the wings are solar panels 1  Lightest aircraft of its size 1  Can be flown for 36 hours without stopping 1  Manned aircraft without having the cabin pressurized or heated 1 1 "Solar Impulse - Around the World to Promote Clean Technologies." Solar Impulse Website. N.p., n.d. Web. 03 Nov Solar Impulse (solarimpulse.com/#airplane)

CHALLENGES OF USING SOLAR PANELS ON AIRCRAFT  Power 1 2  80 meter wingspan  2 tons vs. 560 tons  Speed 1 2  Increased Drag  Highway Speeds (Solar Impulse)  Range 1 2  Dependent on Energy Density and Glide Ration  40 MJ/kg vs. 1.6 MJ/kg  13,000 km vs. 1,000 km (at night) 1.
