Their idea is to use hybrid propulsion... LENR have huge autonomy, but LENr and worse, turbines, have low power density.... Since peak power is huge with planes, while average is lower, it is rational to store energy...
in the report they propose batteries... you can find the old article about that http://www.lenr-forum.com/showthread.php?217-NASA-Boeing-research-on-2040-plane-LENR-among and also the others http://www.lenr-forum.com/tags.php?tag=sugar-plane for data on turbines http://www.lenr-forum.com/showthread.php?53-Application-Steam-Turbine-and-Engine 2012/12/30 Ron Kita <chiralex.k...@gmail.com> > Greetings All, > > Boeing is fully aware of LENR Cold Fusion..and yet they talk about > batteries: > http://phys.org/news/2012-12-sugar-volt-boeing-vision-hybrid.html > > My bet is that their electric plane never sees batteries-except for a > temporary back-up. > > Respectfully, > Ron Kita, Chiralex >
