Today's Aerospace and defense industry, contributes two to three percent
of the total annual manmade admissions of carbon dioxide released into the
atmosphere.
Its government customer base remains the largest consumer of fossil fuels
the ability to manage, mitigate,
or reduce fuel costs for air,
ground,
and sea vehicles will deliver a competitive advantage.
and that's just one reason why
Lockheed Martin is building sustainable engineering principles into our key programs.
We're showing our customers whats possible from material selection and manufacturer
through end of a products life.
The aeronautics' F-35 Team
is designing aircraft that have less impact on the environment and human
health.
Replacing Copper-Beryllium with a stainless steel alloy,
prevents delays associated with hazardous materials,
and avoids costly maintenance,
worker exposure,
and disposal issues.
Rare-earth elements, or rees, are used in many Lockheed Martin products such as
the joint strike fighter, Aegis
and javelin programs,
Which are essential components and high-tech defense systems.
Electronics,
communication devices,
missile guidance,
and other clean energy technologies.
Our professions are designing products and working on strategies to capture and
reuse materials, cut costs, and extend the life of the resource.
Lockheed Martin's solid oxide fuel cell technology,
efficiently converts fuel into electricity
and his thirty to fifty percent more fuel efficient than existing military
generator sets.
potentially saving billions of dollars while protecting our troops and cutting
carbon emissions.
and our C-130 program incorporates micro vains to the
fuselage of aircraft
who've system performance
saving approximately twenty gallons of fuel per aircraft flight hour.
this equates to potential savings of up to ten million dollars in fuel costs for
the DOD.
Designing more sustainable solutions. That's Lockheed Martin's way of accelerating
tomorrow.
