The Challenge | Fly-by-Wireless
Beginning with the design or concept of a current aircraft or spacecraft, your challenge is to engineer the design of the first aircraft or spacecraft with no wires, connectors, or penetrations! You may choose to add functions that the original vehicle does not have. Be sure to identify future aerospace applications as specifically as possible.
Make a revolution in space industry
we will make the all wireless space craft by using optical communication and wifi and developing the most powerful space engine using the particle physics technology
•A large commercial passenger aircraft has more than 100,000 wires, with a total length of 470 km and weight of 5,700 kg. There is about 30% of additional weight in harnessing and connectors. About 30% of electrical wires are potential candidates for a wireless substitute. Wiring lacks dissimilar redundancy and has limited maintenance flexibility and access. Many bulkhead penetrations and connectors are needed between compartments, into tankage and to pass from interior to exterior. Many permanent and temporary sensors are not added because of wiring efforts and associated weight.
