why we can not apply aronoutical technologies in automobiles?

Question

both automobiles & aeroplane run fast ,then why we cannot use aeroplane technology in automobiles?

Answer 1

Making something go fast is not all that difficult much of the time, it is about making it *controllable*. Speed (power) is nothing without control.

In the air, not only do you have the option of full 360 degree movement options (esp with rotating wing aircraft), you do not have "blind corners", slippery road surfaces and sodding speed cameras.

In many ways we DO embrace much of the other technology though, from lighter materials, more aerodynamic design and advanced navigational facilties (FRED / GPS) etc

One thing that has never seemed to make it to the road is an engine with twin spark plugs - a requirement on all conventional engined aircraft. Not only does it give backup (less critical on the road) but ALSO makes a fair difference in economy. When switching magnetos (ignition) from BOTH to Left or Right, a drop of 50-100 RPM is not uncommon - suggesting strongly that the additional spark does indeed improve effieicney and power output.

Aeroplane engines are also happy to be leaned out considerably more than automobile engines. Again allowing for greater economy AND power.

Are there any other technologies you are thinking of specifically that you think should be incorporated into cars?

Answer 2

It really depends on what technologies you are talking about.

Engine:
Jet engines (Brayton Cycle) expel considerably hot exhaust gases and also are more costly to maintain and build. If you build a gas turbine engine, the degree of sophistication involved is very high. You must have many compressor fan blades and many turbine fan blades. Compared to land bound cars, (Diesel or Otto Cycle) you don't want it to be difficult to maintain. Pistons, valves and crankshafts can be easily manufactured by forging but turbine blades in aircrafts are built from a single crystal.

Aerodynamics (fluids), control systems, materials technology are relatively similar if you compare high end cars and planes. At this point, you may want to consider design as well, airplanes do not have welds for structural integrity but car designers have the liberty to choose weldings or mechanical joining like bolts.

Answer 3

There are many technologies used in aircraft that are used in modern cars. For example, the ABS or the anti-skid braking system is used in aircraft for long. However, you cannot possibly use a gas turbine engine to propel a car. After all, you want fuel efficiency, don't want the hot exhaust hitting the pedestrians flat and want to have great control in start and stop traffic. Certain experimental cars that made speed records, however were fitted with gas turbine engines.

Answer 4

Aerodynamics are used on every vehicle made nowadays. Aeronautical technologies are in use by some automotive manufacturers. Most of the technologies are used by non-business inventers. They do have things out there that could be considered an air-car, but they are so expensive and unreasonable at the moment for popular use.

Answer 5

aerolplane technology to some extent can be used in automobiles but not completely........we have friction of the ground to cope up in automobiles but nothin such in aero...some design features are incoporated in automobiles from aerodnamics to reduce air drag and much more streamlining...........
F1 cars work exactly opposite to the working of aeroplanes in design features

Answer 6

Aeronautical concepts are used in the design of automobiles. That's why cars are getting more and more sleek. In fact Formula 1 racing cars are tested in wind tunnels.

Answer 7

the final occasion is a MEMS device using nanotechnology. it is your airbag sensor. lots smaller and lighter and greater fee-effective than till now fashions. different examples would be LED lighting fixtures, microelectronic processors, nanoparticles interior the paint which makes it brighter or greater solid, liquid crystal reveal reflects. All of those use nanotechnology. it somewhat is a brilliant field

Answer 8

we can ofcourse and we r (aerodynamics is important in the cars design), but if we wanted to make car fly it wudnt b a car anymore wud it?

Answer 9

Because Jet fuel is more expensive than gas.
