EU project makes first'solar'kerosene An EU-funded research project called SOLAR-JET has produced the world's first'solar'jet fuel from water and carbon dioxide (CO2), a promising technology for a better

and can be used by existing vehicles and aircraft without modifications of their engines or of fuel infrastructure.

The SOLAR-JET project brings together research organisations from academia and industry (ETH Zürich, Bauhaus Luftfahrt, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt (DLR),

##Aircraft can safely traverse the beam and tests have demonstrated that even the sensitive honeybee is unaffected,

Boeing and GE are developing the capability to 3-D print aircraft components, he said,

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

The fist-sized robot, a product of Virtual Incision in Lincoln, Nebraska, will have its first zero gravity test in an aircraft flying in parabolic arcs in the next few months.

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

Aircraft operate in vast empty skies and do so on three axes. Training a car to sense

#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."

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

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.

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;

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,

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.

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

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

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

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,

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

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.

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,

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.

as we can easily install this system into a drone, airplane, or satellite to detect plant photosynthesis on a large scale to assess ecosystem health,

motorcycles, diesel trains, generators, container ships and aircraft, among others. It is hoping to have the same impact as the catalytic converter,

but in the air it flies more like an airplane. Future versions of the drone could be used for a variety of applications,

"We have demonstrated now an entirely new class of electromagnetic metamaterials that are fabricated from separate atomic planes of Van der waals materials,

which is used already for scanning by plane, satellite or tractor, has become a precise, noninvasive and more affordable tool to check how crops are doing.
