materials, their design techniques investigated in the wind tunnel.
and manufacturing procedures
are developed to decrease
vehicle mass. Both types of efforts
lead to reduced fuel consumption
and lower pollutants emissions.
New concepts of multimodal
transport are analysed at the
Institute. These include the Small
Aircraft Transport subsystem, which
aims to enable energy-efficient,
door-to-door travel, within 4 hours,
between any two locations inside
the whole EU, including areas
where rail and highway transport
is not justifiable due to very sparse
passenger streams.
Advanced combustion processes
are also investigated, detonation
combustion in particular. This
is much more efficient than the
conventional process, so it should
help decrease greenhouse gases
emissions.
The Institute also works on Contact details:
developing green propellants Instytut Lotnictwa

for aircraft and high-test peroxide al. Krakowska 110/114
for spacecraft. The former 02-256 Warszawa
decreases the fraction of fossil Poland
fuels used by aviation, while the
latter reduces the amount of toxic
propellants applied in rockets and
satellites.
