The Future of Environmental Friendly Technology
ξ JAXA's Aviation Program Group aims to build safe, environmentally-friendly domestic passenger aircraft
ξ It is conducting research and development to establish new manufacturing techniques and cutting-edge aviation technology.
ξ The results of the group's work are greatly anticipated in the face of accelerating global warming and
ξ new environmental regulations for greenhouse-gas reduction being set by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
ξ Other notable research being conducted by the APG is in next-generation supersonic transport,
ξ which is also being studied in the United States and Europe after the retirement of the only existing supersonic passenger aircraft, the Concorde, in 2003.
ξ Maintaining Japan's only advanced test facilities in this area,
ξ JAXA is conducting research to develop environmentally compatible supersonic transport.
ξ The results thus far have been well received by researchers within and beyond Japan.
ξ the Clean Engine Team is working on an engine with reduced noise and harmful emissions
ξ the Supersonic Transport Team is researching aircraft that will cross the Pacific Ocean in just five hours

ξ environmentally compatible engines,
ξ next-generation supersonic aircraft,
ξ safe flight control, and
ξ unmanned aircraft for meteorological or disaster monitoring !!!

The mandate of the Aviation Program Group
ξ research and develop key advanced technologies to help Japan's aviation industry in the production of domestic passenger aircraft.
ξ these include environmentally compatible engines, next-generation supersonic aircraft, safe flight control, and
ξ unmanned aircraft for meteorological or disaster monitoring
ξ mission is to conduct basic research on promising new technologies, and to pass the results on to Japan's private sector
ξ maintain Japan's only large-scale test facilities, which we share with the private sector,
ξ since the resources required for such facilities make it almost impossible for a single company to operate them on its own
ξ have expertise in design and analysis technology such as computational fluid dynamics
ξ work closely with the private sector throughout to design software for use in that sector
ξ achievements in such public-private partnerships having developed a core technology and passed it on to the private sector, include
ξ the FJR710 Fan Jet Engine and the introduction of carbon fiber composite into aircraft manufacturing
ξ development of the FJR710 started in 1971 at the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan (now part of JAXA), and
ξ the technology was recognized worldwide as cutting-edge
ξ the FJR710 technology was adapted for the V2500 engine, co-developed by the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy and Japan
ξ the V2500 has been installed on many fuselages, including Airbus and Boeing aircraft, and
ξ more than 70 airlines are using the engine today
ξ Japan's aviation industry was once left behind by the rest of the world, being completely banned from developing and manufacturing any aircraft in the postwar era.
ξ considering that fact, you could say that the V2500 engine is a first in Japan's modern aviation industry.
ξ the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers established the Mechanical Engineering Heritage certification in honor of its 110th anniversary,
ξ and awarded the certification to the FJR710, the precursor of the V2500.
ξ today we are also on the leading edge of carbon fiber technology
ξ Carbon fiber is a material that's both light and strong, and is used in a variety of products, such as sporting goods.
ξ The aircraft Asuka, with a tail unit made of carbon fiber composite, successfully completed its first flight in 1985,
ξ but unfortunately, Asuka was not a commercial success.
ξ Since then, however, the technology for incorporating carbon fiber composite into airframe has vastly improved, and
ξ today the material is being used in a brand-new aircraft, the Boeing 787, scheduled for its first flight in 2008
ξ The primary component of the fuselage and all wings is carbon fiber composite (carbon fiber reinforced plastic)
ξ rather than the conventional aluminum alloy
ξ The main wings are manufactured by a Japanese company, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
ξ It is the first time that Boeing has entrusted the production of the main wings to an external enterprise.
ξ Thanks to this, sales in Japan's aviation industry are rapidly increasing.
ξ This is a good example of the kind of success in basic research that we strive for.

A clean engine
ξ an environmentally friendly engine
ξ is key to the reduction of harmful gas emissions, noise and fuel consumption
ξ is quiet
ξ emits much less carbon dioxide and toxic nitrogen oxide (NOx)
ξ can also fly aircraft for longer periods and greater distances with less fuel

The motivation behind the development of clean engine technology
ξ the world is threatened by global warming, which is caused by human activity
ξ JAXA's motivation is to address this serious environmental problem
ξ JAXA's role is to build the fundamental technology
ξ so that the private sector can use it to design and manufacture new, cleaner engines
ξ until now, the focus of aviation technology had always been on fulfilling our desire to travel faster and farther,
ξ without much thought given to the environmental effects
ξ today we can no longer ignore the air pollution problem caused by emissions from aircraft engines
ξ the quality of our lives is at risk if we do not take immediate action to stop global warming
ξ developing technology to mitigate environmental damage is obviously very important for the survival of our species

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
ξ sets standards on noise pollution and harmful emissions for the international civil-aviation industry
ξ its requirements are becoming tighter each year
ξ JAXA must anticipate future regulations and develop engines with lower emissions than the current standards require

The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)
ξ launched the Research and Development of Environmentally Compatible Engines for Small Aircraft project (the Eco Engine Project) in 2003
ξ subsidized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry
ξ goal is to produce environmentally friendly, low-cost Japanese engines for next-generation passenger aircraft
ξ JAXA is a partner on the technical side

The roadmap for the practical application of clean engines
ξ clean-engine development started in 2003
ξ the core technology was developed from 2004 to 2006
ξ the core technology is a cooling mechanism for the turbines and combustor
ξ it plays a key role in reducing emissions of harmful substances
ξ scheduled to conduct extensive trials of the technology using test engines
ξ by 2011 expect to build a clean engine with new technologies developed by JAXA, and to test its performance
ξ this roadmap has been designed to align with each development phase of NEDO's Eco Engine Project

Dear Sir,

S&S is a private California corporation developing the unmanned helicopter yourDragonXi (Xi).

Referring to Dr. Takashi Ishikawa's story at http://www.jaxa.jp/article/special/aviation/index_e.html
and JXAX's mandate to "research and develop unmanned aircraft for meteorological or disaster monitoring"
S&S is interested to collaborate with JXAX.

Xi is designed to use a clean engine, which will be fueled by liquid BIO-hydrogen and it's electronics powered by MH2/fuel cells.
Hydrogen for Xi will be produced with environment friendly methods, for example from algae, therefore S&S calls Xi's fuel BIO-LH2.
S&S's goal is to migitate emissions during the whole life cycle of Xi.

We are also interested to apply JXAX's Carbon fiber composite technology to build Xi helicopter and the autonomous base station (Base4Xi),
which is designed to refuel, recharge, update and shelter several Xi helicopters.
The electricity to power Base4Xi is designed to be generated using renewable energy sources.

Our UAS system consists of the unmanned helicopter Xi, the autonomous base station (Base4Xi), wireless ad-hoc sensors (Sensor4Xi)
and mobile device series. All devices are designed for network-centric operations at remote and demanding theaters.
This UAS system would be suitable for meteorological or disaster monitoring.

Xi can be rapidly deployed with a manned air vehicle such as a fighter to the disaster theater.
Figher can drop one to two Xi helicopters inside the pod (Pod4Xi) at safe altitude.
Xi hatches in the air. Being an agile helicopter Xi can manoeuvre at low altitudes and tight places.
Embedded cameras and sensors help Xi to broadcast real-time information from the theater.
If longer monitoring is needed, Base4Xi can be deployed with a manned helicopter together with rescue forces and our mobile devices.

Meteorological monitoring Xi helicopter can do with it's embedded sensors.
Xi is also capable to drop wireless sensors to ground and collect data from those sensors.
Smart bobs (Bob4Xi) can be dropped to water by Xi and it can collect sensor data above surface and under surface.

Monitoring environment and other applications Xi does emitting water due to LH2 fuel.

Collaborating with Dr. Takashi Ishikawa and JAXA would be great honor to S&S.

Kind regards,

Chief Executive Officer

~ High Speed Internet

»Japan successfully launches high-speed Internet satellite
ξ satellite aimed at providing high-speed Internet access across Asia, even when terrestrial infrastructure goes down,
ξ the domestically developed H-2A rocket carried the Kizuna satellite
ξ the communications satellite is expected to be in use for five years
ξ the 342 million dollar-Kizuna will allow super-high speed data communications of up to 1.2 Gbps
ξ that rate would translate to 150 times that of the average high-speed ADSL connection rate of 8 Mbps,
ξ or 12 times the speed of a fibre-optic communication delivery to a person's premises (FTTP)
ξ the "Kizuna" is expected to begin transmitting and receiving data with terrestrial infrastructures in July
ξ Japan is looking to use the satellite to allow communication when a ground-based network is severed by a disaster in any Asian country
ξ in which case it would be used to transmit data to crisis management offices
ξ the agency is hoping it can also be used as an educational or medical tool to reach people in remote or mountainous areas
ξ the Internets infrastructure levels vary; urban areas have a better environment, whereas some mountainous regions and remote islands are not well-equipped
ξ the satellite will enable students in Asian countries to communicate smoothly and with no time lag among one another
ξ the launch delayed by one week after JAXA said it had discovered a problem with the gas jet thruster for its launch rocket
ξ Japan has been stepping up its space operations and has set a goal of sending an astronaut to the moon by 2020
