Trinuclear iron-oxo cocatalyst regulating new electron transfer pathway in Pt loaded bismuth oxychloride for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production

BiOCl, a traditional p-type semiconductor, finds extensive application in photocatalytic oxidation and degradation, whereas it is less common in photocatalytic water splitting and hydrogen production. Here, the photocatalytic hydrogen production performance of black BiOCl has been examined by the introduction of noble metal platinum and cocatalyst trinuclear iron-oxo cluster. During the 5-h photocatalytic process, the established system significantly augments the hydrogen production efficiency of black BiOCl by an estimated factor of 8.53. Under illumination, trinuclear iron-oxo clusters provide electron recombination with holes in the valence band of the catalyst, thereby increasing the utilization of photogenerated electrons. Additionally, since the specific energy level structure has a significant impact on the cocatalyst function, trinuclear iron-oxo clusters can be suitable in a variety of photocatalytic systems. This new endeavor might present creative design approaches and low-cost cocatalyst alternatives for the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from the water splitting of conventional p-type semiconductor materials.

Integrated crop management for long-term sustainability of maize-wheat rotation focusing on productivity, energy and carbon footprints

Modern agriculture, driven by diesel-fed machinery, is both energy and carbon-intensive, primarily due to the improper use of inputs. Designing a production module with lower carbon emissions, greater productivity, and enhanced energy use efficiency is crucial for achieving the environmental sustainability. Conservation agriculture based integrated crop management (ICMs) practices have shown promise in improving the productivity, energy-use, and reducing the carbon emissions. In our extensive long-term field study, we explored the crop yields, energy use, and carbon linkages of a maize-wheat rotation under different ICMs practices. Eight ICMs were evaluated over the course of nine consecutive years, which included ICM1&2: conventional (CT) flat-bed maize and wheat, ICM3&4: CT raised bed maize fb wheat without residues, ICM5&6: conservation agriculture (CA)-based double zero tilled (ZT) maize fb ZT wheat with residues and ICM7&8: CA-based triple ZT maize and wheat with residues and green manures. Our results indicated that the system productivity under CA-based ICMs was 16.5–22.9% greater than that under the CT-based ICM1-4. CA based ICM5-8 (125.2–131.5 × 103 MJ ha−1) needed higher energy input than CT-based ICM1-4 (32.7–39 × 103 MJ ha−1), with 76–80% shared by renewable crop residues. Furthermore, the CA-based ICMs recorded significantly higher levels of specific energy, human energy profitability, non-renewable energy use efficiency, and nutrient energy use efficiencies compared to CT-based. Likewise, the CA-based ICMs produced 12.5% more total output energy than the CT-based ICMs. In contrast, the CT based ICMs demonstrated, energy productivity, higher net energy returns and energy profitability. Compared to conventional ICMs, CA-based ICMs produced a 23–36% reduction in spatial carbon emissions and a 31–44 % reduction in yield-scale emissions. Nevertheless, the CA-based practices recorded the higher C- output, C- sustainability and C- efficiency ratio. Greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) was 33.3–76.2% greater with the ICM1-4 practices than with the ICM5-8 practises. Thus, the present study proposed that adopting the integrated crop management practices based on the conservation agriculture could prove to be productive, as well as carbon and energy-use efficient approach for the maize-wheat rotation. This approach is envisioned to make substantial contributions to both food security and environmental sustainability.

A DFT study of the CaMg2As2 material for photovoltaic applications

The research focused on investigating the structural, elastic, electronic, optical, and thermoelectric characteristics of the CaMg2As2 compound. To inspect these properties, the density functional theory (DFT) method has been applied via the Wien2K code. The electronic analysis revealed that the CaMg2As2 compound demonstrates semiconductor behavior with an indirect band gap of 1.781 eV. Additionally, its elastic properties were examined, revealing a 1.980 % AVR, indicating a variation in elasticity depending on the direction of load or stress applied. We have also studied various optical properties of CaMg2As2, including the refractive index, extinction coefficient, electron energy loss, dielectric tensor, and optical conductivity. the absorption coefficient value is zero for energy levels below 2.60 eV, meaning there is no energy absorption by the material at lower energy levels. However, as the energy surpasses 2.60 eV, the absorption coefficient increases and shows multiple peaks. This signifies that as the incident radiation's energy increases, the material starts absorbing more energy at specific energy levels. In addition, one significant finding is that the thermal conductivity of the lattice (κL) in CaMg2As2 decreases exponentially as the temperature rises. This means that as the material gets hotter, its ability to conduct heat becomes less effective. In simple terms, the material becomes less efficient at transferring heat at higher temperatures. These findings suggest that CaMg2As2 has potential as a thermoelectric material with interesting properties that deserve further investigation.

Visualization of Multiple-Resonance-Induced Frontier Molecular Orbitals in a Single Multiple-Resonance Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Molecule.

The spatial distribution and electronic properties of the frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) in a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecule contribute significantly to the TADF properties, and thus, a detailed understanding and sophisticated control of the FMOs are fundamental to the design of TADF molecules. However, for multiple-resonance (MR)-TADF molecules that achieve spatial separation of FMOs by the MR effect, the distinctive distribution of these molecular orbitals poses significant challenges for conventional computational analysis and ensemble averaging methods to elucidate the FMOs' separation and the precise mechanism of luminescence. Therefore, the visualization and analysis of electronic states with the specific energy level of a single MR-TADF molecule will provide a deeper understanding of the TADF mechanism. Here, scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) was used to investigate the electronic states of the DABNA-1 molecule at the atomic scale. FMOs' visualization and local density of states analysis of the DABNA-1 molecule clearly show that MR-TADF molecules also have well-separated FMOs according to the internal heteroatom arrangement, providing insights that complement existing theoretical prediction methods.

Integration of monitoring and operation ion source system in the DECY-13 cyclotron

Abstract In nuclear medicine, cyclotrons play a vital role as cyclic accelerators, producing radioisotopes for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) technology. Currently, the Accelerator Technology Research Center, National Research and Innovation Agency of Indonesia, is developing the DECY-13 cyclotron, which comprises several crucial components, including the ion source. The ion source generates ions that is accelerated to a specific energy level before being directed at the target. The ion source system of the DECY-13 cyclotron includes various supporting components, such as a cooling system, vacuum system, Magnet Power Supply (MPS), gas flow system, and cathode power supply. These components are currently operated independently, with manual monitoring by operators. To simplify and improve the operation, an integration project needed for supporting component of the DECY-13 cyclotron’s ion source. This integration utilizes LabVIEW software, the NI-9870 module, NI-9425 module, and NI-cRIO as the process operation controller. The successful development of the integration program ensures that the displayed data on the interface aligns seamlessly with data from each individual device. Consequently, the integration program serves as an effective tool for monitoring the operation of the DECY-13 cyclotron’s ion source.

Statistical Properties of Exohiss Waves and Associated Scattering Losses of Radiation Belt Electrons

AbstractExohiss waves are a type of structureless whistler‐mode waves that exist in the low density plasmatrough outside the plasmapause and may potentially perturb the motions of electrons in the radiation belt and ring current. Using data from Van Allen Probe A, we analyze the distribution of magnetic power spectral density (PSD) of exohiss waves in different magnetic local time (MLT) and L‐shell regions near the geomagnetic equator. The results reveal that the peak magnetic PSD of exohiss waves is the weakest at MLT = 0–6 and the strongest at MLT = 12–18. The magnetic PSDs of exohiss waves are much lower than those of chorus and hiss waves except for the MLT = 12–18 sector. In addition, we calculated the quasi‐linear bounce‐averaged pitch angle and momentum diffusion coefficients (〈Dαα〉 and 〈Dpp〉) of electrons caused by exohiss waves. The diffusion coefficients are then compared with those caused by chorus and hiss waves. The peak 〈Dαα〉 of electrons driven by exohiss waves becomes stronger as L‐shell increases at all MLTs and is the greatest on the dayside, especially in the sector of MLT = 12–18. Exohiss waves have more significant effect on the loss of radiation belt electrons with specific energy levels related to MLT and L‐shell region compared to chorus and hiss waves. On the other hand, 〈Dpp〉 of electrons caused by exohiss waves is very small, which illustrates that exohiss waves have almost no acceleration effect on electrons.

The effects of Zn and Yb co-dopants on the electronic, radiation shielding, structural, thermal and spectroscopic properties of hydroxyapatite

This work presents a comprehensive investigation of the electronic properties of hydroxyapatite (HA) doped with zinc (Zn) and ytterbium (Yb). Four different compositions, namely 0.33Zn-0.33Yb-HA, 0.33Zn-0.66Yb-HA, 0.66Zn-0.33Yb-HA, and 0.66Zn-0.66Yb-HA, were studied using Density of States (DOS) and band structure calculations. The computed band gap values for each composition were determined to be 4.3097 eV, 4.1324 eV, 4.2527 eV, and 4.2088 eV, respectively. The observed decrease in the band gap energy from 0.33Zn-0.33Yb-HA to 0.66Zn-0.66Yb-HA signifies a significant impact of the dopant composition on the electronic properties of the material. Furthermore, the inclusion of ytterbium in the HA matrix resulted in the formation of a distinct band and peak in the density of states. This indicates the emergence of specific energy levels associated with Yb, suggesting a distinct influence on the electronic structure of the material. These findings provide valuable insights into the tunability of the electronic properties of HA through controlled doping with Zn and Yb. Such knowledge is crucial for tailoring materials with desired electronic characteristics, thus holding promise for various applications in electronic devices and biocompatible coatings. The as-modeled structures were synthesized via a wet chemical route. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses verified the formation of the HA structure for each sample. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) results showed that all the as-prepared samples were thermally stable. The negligible mass losses were detected for all the samples in the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurements. The addition of both co-dopants affected crystal structure related parameters and decreased the crystallinity and cell viability.

Thermoluminescence peak temperature shift characteristics of NaCl, NaCl:Al, and NaCl:Ca

To gain a more in-depth understanding of the thermoluminescence peak temperature shift characteristics of pure NaCl itself and its Al and Ca doped variants, a combination of the first-principles calculations and thermoluminescence experiments is used to explore how doping affects the electronic structure of the crystal and further analyze the mechanism of peak temperature shift in thermoluminescence. The calculations indicate that doping NaCl with Al slightly increases its band gap to 5.20 eV, whereas doping with Ca reduces it dramatically to 0 eV. These changes can modify the band gap width but introduce distinct defect formation energy values. Such changes may cause the thermoluminescence peak temperature to occur at lower temperatures and shift with the change of experimental conditions. The theoretical predictions are validated through thermoluminescence experiments, showing that the thermoluminescence peak temperatures of all samples rise with heating rate increasing. Notably, the change is most significant for NaCl:Al, where the peak temperature rises from 276 to 340 K. Meanwhile, as the irradiation dose increases in a range of 1–25 mGy, the growth of the thermoluminescence peak temperature turns relatively small, especially for NaCl:Ca, the peak temperature rises only from 195 to 202 K. This comprehensive analysis of the electronic structures and defect formation energy provides an insight into the thermoluminescence behavior of NaCl crystal. Doping with Al and Ca introduces mid-gap states that act as traps for charge carriers. These traps play a crucial role in the thermoluminescence process, capturing electrons during irradiation and releasing them upon heating, which leads to the observed luminescence. The presence of these traps and their specific energy levels relative to the conduction and valence bands directly influences the temperature at which the peak luminescence occurs. In addition, this study explores how the changes of electronic structure, caused by doping, affects the recombination process of charge carriers, which is very important for the thermoluminescence phenomenon. It also investigates the influence of external factors, such as the rate of heating and the dose of irradiation, on the stability and shift of thermoluminescence peak temperature. These findings emphasize the complex interactions between material composition, structural defects, and experimental conditions in determining the thermoluminescence characteristics of doped NaCl crystals. The results of this research are of great significance for the application of doped materials in various fields, including radiation dosimetry and solid-state lighting. The ability to manipulate the thermoluminescence peak temperatures through doping opens up new ways for designing materials with tailored luminescence properties for specific applications. This study not only deepens our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of thermoluminescence but also highlights the potential of first-principles calculations combined with experimental analysis in the development of new materials with desired optical and electronic characteristics.

Optimization of Lift-Plus-Cruise Vertical Take-Off and Landing Aircraft with Electrified Propulsion

Conventional aircraft sizing methods face challenges in analyzing all-electric or hybrid-electric novel aircraft configurations, such as those for urban air mobility applications. The vast design space containing both continuous and discrete design variables and competing design objectives necessitates searching for not necessarily a unique optimal design but rather an array of Pareto-optimal designs. This paper uses the Parametric Energy-Based Aircraft Configuration Evaluator, an aircraft sizing framework for novel aircraft and propulsion system architectures, to pursue multi-objective optimization of a lift-plus-cruise urban air mobility aircraft with all-electric, hybrid-electric, and turbo-electric propulsion system architectures using Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II. The optimization cases considered include multiple objective functions, such as maximum takeoff mass, mission time, energy and propulsion mass fraction, and energy used per unit distance per unit payload. Optimization was performed for trip distances of 80, 120, and 150 km and battery specific energy levels of 350 and 400 Wh/kg. Except when mission time was an objective function, Pareto-optimal designs occurred near the lower bound of the velocity range. Raising that bound had an impact on the architectural composition of the final generation. All-electric architectures appeared exclusively for lower trip distances, hybrid-electric designs appeared for longer trip distances, and turbo-electric designs only appeared for combinations of longer trip distances, a higher minimum cruise speed, and a lower battery specific energy level. The sizing results were sensitive to assumptions regarding the overload capacity of lift propulsor motors in postfailure conditions.

Tuning electronic properties of hydroxyapatite through controlled doping using zinc, silver, and praseodymium: A density of states and experimental study

This study presents a comprehensive exploration of the electronic properties of hydroxyapatite (HA) doped with zinc (Zn), silver (Ag), and praseodymium (Pr). Five distinct compositions—0.4Pr-HA, 0.4Zn-0.4Pr-HA, 0.8Zn-0.4Pr-HA, 0.4Ag-0.4Pr-HA, and 0.8Zn-0.4Pr-HA were systematically investigated through Density of States (DOS) and band structure calculations. The computed band gap values, ranging from 4.4037 to 4.1554 eV, revealed a progressive decrease in band gap energy from 0.4Pr-HA to 0.8Ag-0.4Pr-HA, emphasizing the substantial impact of dopant composition on electronic properties. Additionally, the incorporation of Pr induced distinct bands and peaks in the density of states, signifying the emergence of specific energy levels associated with Pr and suggesting a clear effect on the electronic structure. Furthermore, the study explores the influences of dopant type and quantity on the electronic structure, microstructure, spectral, thermal, and in vitro cell viability properties of Pr-based HA samples. Theoretical results demonstrated a continuous decrease in the bandgap with Ag or Zn dopants, and the study observed controllable changes in LAC values based on co-dopant type and quantity. Experimental outcomes revealed significant effects on crystallinity, crystallite size, lattice parameters, and unit cell volume, confirmed through XRD, SEM, EDX, FTIR, and Raman analyses. These findings provide valuable visions into the tunability of the electronic properties of HA through controlled doping with Zn, Pr, and Ag. This knowledge is crucial for modifying materials with desirable electronic properties, and thus holds promise for various applications in electronic devices and biocompatible coatings.

Anisotropic electronic structure of NaAlSi studied by angle-resolved soft x-ray emission spectroscopy

The characteristic x-ray emission direction of a material indicates the direction of the bonding orbitals and spatial symmetry of the electron orbitals. Accordingly, the intensity of x-ray emission, which varies with the direction of emission and crystal orientation, provides crucial information regarding anisotropic electronic structures. This study utilized angle-resolved soft x-ray emission spectroscopy (SXES) on a layered material, NaAlSi, to ascertain the spatial distribution of the valence electrons. Distinct alterations in the spectral intensity distributions were observed in the Al–L2,3 and Si–L2,3 spectra with respect to the emission angle. To interpret the anisotropic SXES spectra, the spatial distribution of each valence electronic state was simulated using first-principle calculations. Although the anisotropic emission intensity could not explain the symmetry of the spatial distributions of the isolated s and d atomic orbitals, the anisotropy of the SXES spectra could be interpreted as the spatial distribution of these orbitals when hybridized with p orbitals. Furthermore, the spectral structure corresponding to the electronic states near the Fermi level reflected the characteristics of the d orbitals. Therefore, angle-resolved SXES measurements can effectively discern the spatial distribution of hybridized electron orbitals with specific energy levels, which could enhance techniques related to electron distribution analysis, with potential applications in material science and electronic structure characterization.

Tunable Light Response Modulated by the Organic Interface Charge Transfer Effect

AbstractThe combination of a donor (D) and an acceptor (A) is viewed as a promising approach to achieve high performance phototransistors, owing to their advantages in exciton dissociation and charge trapping. The electronic properties at the D‐A interface can vary substantially with the choice of materials, and how to precisely control the interface properties to achieve a controllable light response behavior is still an open question. Herein, a series of D‐A heterostructure is reported with varying electronic structures of the acceptor and demonstrate the ability to tune the performance and photocurrent decay behaviors. Two distinct types of charge transfer phenomena, ground state, and excited state charge transfer, are identified originating from the specific different energy level alignment and lead to the improved photoresponsivity up to 104 AW−1 and the significantly varied photosensitivity ranging from 102 to approaching 107. Furthermore, the distinct charge transfer scenarios elicit diverse temporal responses, encompassing both short‐term synaptic behavior as well as persistent memory characteristics. These findings shed light on the importance of understanding and controlling charge transfer property for phototransistor performance and applications. The ability to modulate the temporal responses opens up new possibilities for designing devices with desired memory and synaptic functionalities.

Three-dimensional wormhole with cosmic string effects on eigenvalue solution of non-relativistic quantum particles

In this paper, we explore the quantum system of non-relativistic particles in a unique scenario: a circularly symmetric and static three-dimensional wormhole space-time accompanied by cosmic strings. We focus on a specific case where the redshift function varPhi (r) to be zero and defining the shape function as A(r)=frac{b}{r^2}. After establishing this background space-time, we investigate the behavior of a harmonic oscillator within the same wormhole context. By doing so, we observe the effects of the cosmic string and wormhole throat radius on the eigenvalue solution of the oscillator’s eigenvalue problem. The primary finding is that these cosmic features lead to modifications in the energy spectrum and wave functions of the system, breaking the degeneracy of energy levels that would typically be present in a more conventional setting. As a particular case, we present the specific energy level E_{1,ell } and the corresponding wave function psi _{1,ell }, which are associated with the ground state of the quantum system. These results highlight the fascinating and unique properties of the harmonic oscillator in the background of a circularly symmetric, static wormhole space-time with cosmic strings.

Adaptive fuzzy controller for generalized chaotic Lorenz systems with hidden attractors based on Hamilton energy analysis

Control of the generalized chaotic systems’ dynamical behaviors is studied here, by which a direct adaptive fuzzy controller is proposed to control a chaotic dynamical system using their Hamilton energy level. A generalized chaotic Lorenz system with hidden attractors is used as the under-control system, and its Hamilton energy is formulated and analyzed. As a practical consideration, the system is requested to be in a specific desired energy level in each explicit situation. A model-based control is computed and an adaptive fuzzy control is proposed based on it to improve the control signal from the magnitude and smoothness points of view. Adaptation law is designed to adjust the fuzzy controller parameters optimally, based on the Lyapunov second law, and guarantee the system stability. Consequent parameters of the fuzzy rules are tuned based on the residual value between the system’s Hamilton energy and the desired level. Simulation results show superiority of the proposed controller based on tracking performance and control efficiency indices.

Optical-to-microwave frequency conversion with Rydberg excitons

A copper-based plasmonic system is presented to provide optical-to-microwave photon conversion. The process uses highly excited levels in ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$ Rydberg excitons and takes advantage of spoof plasmons, which allow for significant enhancement of the transition probability between specific excitonic energy levels. The theoretical results are verified with numerical simulations. The proposed system is very flexible, allowing for emission of microwave wavelengths from 0.1 to 10 mm.

Virtual Monoenergetic Imaging of Lower Extremities Using Dual-Energy CT Angiography in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common metabolic disorder in the world and an important risk factor for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). CT angiography represents the method of choice for the diagnosis, pre-operative planning, and follow-up of vascular disease. Low-energy dual-energy CT (DECT) virtual mono-energetic imaging (VMI) has been shown to improve image contrast, iodine signal, and may also lead to a reduction in contrast medium dose. In recent years, VMI has been improved with the use of a new algorithm called VMI+, able to obtain the best image contrast with the least possible image noise in low-keV reconstructions. To evaluate the impact of VMI+ DECT reconstructions on quantitative and qualitative image quality in the evaluation of the lower extremity runoff. We evaluated DECT angiography of lower extremities in patients suffering from diabetes who had undergone clinically indicated DECT examinations between January 2018 and January 2023. Images were reconstructed with standard linear blending (F_0.5) and low VMI+ series were generated from 40 to 100 keV, in an interval of 15 keV. Vascular attenuation, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated for objective analysis. Subjective analysis was performed using five-point scales to evaluate image quality, image noise, and diagnostic assessability of vessel contrast. Our final study cohort consisted of 77 patients (41 males). Attenuation values, CNR, and SNR were higher in 40-keV VMI+ reconstructions compared to the remaining VMI+ and standard F_0.5 series (HU: 1180.41 ± 45.09; SNR: 29.91 ± 0.99; CNR: 28.60 ± 1.03 vs. HU 251.32 ± 7.13; SNR: 13.22 ± 0.44; CNR: 10.57 ± 0.39 in standard F_0.5 series) (p < 0.0001). Subjective image rating was significantly higher in 55-keV VMI+ images compared to the other VMI+ and standard F_0.5 series in terms of image quality (mean score: 4.77), image noise (mean score: 4.39), and assessability of vessel contrast (mean value: 4.57) (p < 0.001). DECT 40-keV and 55-keV VMI+ showed the highest objective and subjective parameters of image quality, respectively. These specific energy levels for VMI+ reconstructions could be recommended in clinical practice, providing high-quality images with greater diagnostic suitability for the evaluation of lower extremity runoff, and potentially needing a lower amount of contrast medium, which is particularly advantageous for diabetic patients.

Multiphoton absorption properties and bioimaging of solvent coligand cyclometalated Pt(II) complex

As a cyclometalated complex, solvent coligand Pt(II) complex with multiphoton absorption has been designed and synthesized. After the optical properties of the Pt(II) complex were studied carefully, time-dependent density functional theory calculation (TD-DFT) was used to further identify the triplet charge transitions of the complex. The specific energy levels of frontier molecular orbitals and the data related to the energy level transition showed that the Pt(II) complex had photoluminescent properties, and their phosphorescence emission originated from 3LLCT/3MLCT. Because of nonlinear optics (NLO) response, the Pt(II) complex could act as multiphoton absorption materials for bioimaging and anticancer application.

Dark current in pinned photodiode CMOS image sensors: a pre-fabrication physics-based model

The present technique to find a dark current source in an image sensor, i.e., Dark Current Spectroscopy, is not sufficient to conclusively differentiate between the contribution of interface and bulk defect generation in a pixel. Also, the dark current data is available only post-fabrication. In this work, the Dark current versus Transfer Gate-off voltage curve is used to extract the defect density-cross-section product, activation energy and maximum carrier lifetime for two important device generation sites, i.e., interface under the Transfer Gate and Pinned Photodiode depletion region. A comprehensive analytical dark current model is formulated and validated using TCAD simulation and experimental data reported in the literature. The temperature variation is incorporated using the Arrhenius relation corresponding to the specific activation energy level. The proposed model along with the Arrhenius relation provides a sufficient pre-fabrication dark current estimate.

A LAMINAR FLOW, PROPULSIVE, JET-FLAPPED CONCEPT FOR ELECTRICALLY POWERED TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT

Friction drag constitutes approximately half of the total drag of subsonic civil transport aircraft at cruise conditions. Several means were examined to control the flow over an aircraft and achieve laminar flow. Here, a new concept for friction drag reduction in the form of an integration of the aerodynamics and propulsion of the aircraft is put forward. Engines buried in the wing and at the rear of the fuselage suck the boundary layer of the entire wing and fuselage surface, and then, they used it as intake air and exhaust through ducts. At the wings, the engines exhaust in the form of a jet flap at the trailing edge providing distributed propulsion. By this laminar flow, propulsive concept laminar flow is established over the entire aircraft, resulting in substantial drag reduction. The analysis showed that out of the four electrically powered aircraft versions considered only the combined lift distribution with tailless fuselage is about to be feasible. It was also found that the example aircraft design is inappropriate. It is expected that a design purposely based on the proposed concept would bring electrically powered transport aircraft within the specific energy levels of present batteries.
