A European research project has developed a transport system consisting of water-bags and tugboats to bring fresh water to the hardest-hit coastal and island regions around the Mediterranean.

A water quality sensor to assess water purity has been tested in a laboratory with the intention of being fitted to water-bags in the future to ensure safe and clean delivery after transit.

That information is combined with multi-spectral images of fields taken by advanced camera systems from satellites and airplanes.

and predicting of weather effects on transportation networks can help farmers make better decisions about which routes and methods will be fastest to transport harvested food.

That is especially critical in countries like Brazil where many of the roads are unpaved and heavy rain can cause trucks to get stuck in mud.

It s a type of Vertical Takeoff or Landing (VTOL) rarely done with humans on board because#that transition from vertical to horizontal and back again is difficult for onboard human pilots to manage.

For the drone it works fine and the design lets the wing fly fast like a plane.

#NASA's drone is part chopper, part airplane Answer: NASA'S latest drone prototype, GL-10.

It has a tilt-wing design that allows for vertical takeoff and landing--similar to existing tiltrotor aircraft like the Bell-Boeing V22 Osprey."

"said Zach Johns, the prototype's main pilot.""The four engines on the right wing also work in concert.

"Successful flight tests have not only demonstrated its hovering capabilities during its vertical takeoff--the way a helicopter does

"During the flight tests we successfully transitioned from hover to wing-borne flight like a conventional airplane then back to hover again.

So far we have done this on five flights, "said Bill Fredericks, one of the aerospace engineers working on the project, in a NASA press release."

Now we're working on our second goal--to demonstrate that this concept is four times more aerodynamically efficient in cruise than a helicopter."

Planes and helicopters can be terribly expensive for collecting this overhead video and measurement data, though.

#How to build a hypersonic airliner t is a magic aircraftthe pleasure of flying in it is almost a carnal one.

So said Joelle Cornet-Templet, a chief stewardess for Air france, about Concorde: one of the world first supersonic civilian airplanes,

which flew from 1976 to 2003 and became a watchword for travelling in style. This thoroughbred airliner could fly from London to Sydney in 17 hours, three minutes and 45 seconds;

compared to around 22 hours on a Boeing 747. Concorde was the best-known member of an exclusive club of two;

the only other civilian airliner able to break the speed of sound was the Soviet union Tupolev tu-144,

The end of the Concorde and Tupolev airliners left the supersonic market empty. But now, 12 years after the Concorde fleet last flew,

even faster airliners are taking shape in research facilities. One of those designs is by Lapcat-II,

a European-designed aeroplane capable of cruising speeds up to eight times faster than sound (8, 500 km h or 5, 280 mph) taking passengers from Brussels to Sydney in 2 hours and 55 minutes.

At the AIAA Hypersonic Space Plane conference in Glasgow in Scotland in July, a paper submitted by Lapcat-II researchers said their early airliner tests suggested such a design would be greener than current aircraft,

just as safe, and would not cost much more than today long-haul flights. Fuel factorjohan Steelant, a senior research engineer at the European space agency (Esa) and coordinator of Lapcat-II,

with his colleagues, has been testing two prototypes. One is a Mach 5 plane the Lapcat-A2 powered by a precooled air-turbo ramjet;

and a promising Esa-designed Mach 8 plane, also powered by a ramjet engine. A ramjet is an air-breathing jet, with no major moving parts.

The engine's forward motion compresses incoming air travelling at high speed, ramming it into a combustion chamber.

Ramjets can move a plane very fast. But how do you power them? Fuel choice is important,

the risks of an explosion or fire are lower compared to conventional airline kerosene fuelwhat more,

liquid hydrogen fuel is not highly combustible mid-flight. Although hydrogen can be ignited, the risks of an explosion or fire are lower compared to conventional airline kerosene fuel.

Nasa used the same stuff to power the Space shuttle. f there is leak, the hydrogen is

In Asia, Japan aerospace exploration agency (Jaxa) is also working on a hypersonic airliner called Hytex intended to cross the Pacific ocean in two hours at speeds of Mach 5. Both Lapcat-II

The Hytex turbojet engine has been tested successfully in a flight experiment which simulates speeds up to Mach 1. 8. Hytex uses liquid hydrogen both as a fuel

says Hideyuki Taguchi, leader of Jaxa hypersonic airplane research. Hunger for hydrogenbut, deriving hydrogen efficiently is one main factor for high operating costs.

the airfare tickets of a hypersonic trip could drop to about half the price of a business-class ticket.

though hydrogen-fuelled airliners would not emit greenhouse-increasing gases such as carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides or soot like today subsonic airplanes,

there is another issue. Water vapour produced by hydrogen combustion stays in the stratosphere for a long time and could be a contributing factor to global warming.

And that effect could be worse than the current fleet of long-haul airliners the longer that water vapour remains."

"Lapcat-II also plans for their Mach 8 Esa-variant airliner to fly well above 33 km, hopefully minimising the environmental impact.

when stored as a liquid it needs far less space than gas. f a market for small business jets existed,

Race for the skiesother companies are already working to make the supersonic business-aviation market a reality.

Airbus has patented just a delta-wing Mach 4. 5 hypersonic design that could be used to create business jets.

Spike Aerospace, another US company, plans to launch a similar supersonic business passenger plane with internal video screens linked to external cameras instead of windows.

And Lockheed martin has a commercial plane, the N+2, that will travel at Mach 1. 7. There one problem with flying so fast,

European hypersonic jets would fly over the North pole and cross the Bering strait, avoiding populated land.

and Boeing to design airplanes that break the sound barrier more quietlyanother problem is that of the uperboomwhich develops

when a supersonic airplane changes its speed, turns or manoeuvres. In a superboom the ground noise of a sonic boom is two

As the European hypersonic plane will fly higher, its ground shock waves will be spread out and produce a smaller shock wave.

and Boeing to design airplanes that break the sound barrier more quietly. From 2020 to 2025 it may be possible that airplanes could then exceed the sound barrier over populated land without causing a major disturbance.

In Europe, Steelant team tested their 300-seat design, albeit a 1: 120 scale model, at speeds of Mach 8 within a wind tunnel.

While the design consumes two times more fuel per second than a Mach 4 plane, it gets to the destination in roughly half the time so the fuel consumed overall during the trip is roughly the same.

When we have a lighter airplane, we have lower fuel consumption and smaller tanks, which makes the vehicle again smaller,

The Jaxa project has studied the potential market for hypersonic airliners travelling at Mach 5 and found a 100-passenger aircraft flying two round trips per day is realistic based on market research.

These passengers would be made up mostly of enthusiastic first-class ticket holders. By 2030 the hypersonic aviation industry could employ over 500,000 people,

according to research by Airbus and the Japan Aircraft Development Corporation. he estimated ticket price for Tokyo to Los angeles is the same as that of an existing first-class seat,

This represents about 10%of the market of passengers willing to pay for these timesaving routes.

Airbus and Aerion aeroplane tests will start in 2019. The European A2 Mach 5 aeroplane may take another 20 years to complete.

The Esa Mach 8 aeroplane might become commercially sustainable sometime in the mid 21st Century.

The Concordes and Tupolevs that paved the way for supersonic air travel in the 1970s now gather dust in museums.

But their legacy may be continued, fast and high above our heads, in the years to come
