Sounder Rajan}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The accelerated growth in aircraft industries desire effectual schemes, programs, innovative designs of advanced systems to accomplishing the augmenting need for home-free air transportation. In this paper, a contemporary conceptual design of an airplane has been proposed without landing gear systems in order to reducing accidents, time consumption, and to eliminating drawbacks by using superconducting levitation phenomenon. This invention of an airplane with superconductive material coating, on the solar plexus region assist to reduce weight by approximately 4% of the total takeoff weight, and cost effective. Moreover, we conjectured that superconductor landing system reduces ground friction, mission fuel, total drag, take-off and landing distance. }, journal = {International Journal of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {7}, year = {2013}, pages = {1603 - 1605}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/16535}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/79}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 79, 2013}, }
