A Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Lofter Aircraft Concept: Brimstone Angel Donald C. Bingaman, Christian V. Rice, Wake Smith and Patrick Vogel AIAA 2020-0618 Published Online:5 Jan 2020 https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2020-0618 Abstract: A Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Lofter Aircraft Concept: SAIL-01 A conceptual aircraft design is presented to facilitate Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) for the purpose of altering the Earth’s thermodynamic energy balance to offset a portion of anthropogenic global warming. Aircraft design characteristics are described to illustrate the challenges associated with the lofting and distribution of up to 15 tons of sulfate or calcite aerosol particulates per sortie at 20 Km (~65,000 ft.). Aircraft aerodynamic, propulsion, structural and subsystem concepts and analyses are presented to validate the aircraft conceptual design. A program plan, schedule and development cost estimate are provided for scoping the resources required to field a SAIL aircraft. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
