The first step would be funding to update the Boeing/North american Aviation studies done in the 1970s.
Boeing and GE are developing the capability to 3-D print aircraft components, he said,
"Lockheed martin (US) in the end did more development and at sea testing than any other company, says Caitlyn Antrim, executive director of the Rule of law Committee for the Oceans in WASHINGTON DC,
Cameron s government sponsored Lockheed s claim to the 58,000-square-kilometre potential mining site through the company s subsidiary UK Seabed Resources in London.
Lockheed has proven technologies and the most nodule-bed data. Polymetallic nodules form over thousands of years on the sea floor, through processes that are still not fully understood;
"It s part of the art of the possible now, says Miles Libbey, a former employee of Lockheed martin US,

Now Airware, founded by MIT alumnus Jonathan Downey 6, has developed a platform hardware, software, and cloud services that lets manufacturers pick
and display that info to a user, says Downey, Airware CEO, who researched and built drones throughout his time at MIT.
Airware then pushes all data to the cloud, where it aggregated and analyzed, and available to designated users.
Clients have trialed Airware platform over the past year including researchers at MIT, who are demonstrating delivery of vaccines in Africa.
Airware plans to launch the platform for general adoption later this year, viewing companies that monitor crops
A company from scratch Airware roots date to 2005, when Downey, who studied electrical engineering and computer science, organized an MIT student team including Airware chief technology officer, Buddy Michini 7, SM 9,
Phd 3 to build drones for an intercollegiate competition. At the time, drones were used primarily for military surveillance,
A five-year stretch at Boeing as an engineer for the U s. military A160 Hummingbird UAV and as a commercial pilot put Downey in contact with drone manufacturers, who,
Thus Airware was born in 2010 first run only by Downey, then with Michini and a team of Boeing engineers to make a military-grade lack boxsystem,
but whose capabilities could be tweaked and extended. Early prototypes were trialed by How group at MIT,
before Airware entered two California incubators, Lemnos Labs and Y-Combinator, in 2013. Since then, theye raised $40 million from investors and expanded their team from five to more than 50 employees. he last 18 months has been a rapid rise,
Not much of the early MIT drone designs made it into the final Airware platform. ut building that early drone at MIT
what Airware is today, Downey says. he DOS for dronestoday, Downey says, the development of a standard operating system for drones is analogous to Intel processors
It has a tilt-wing design that allows for vertical takeoff and landing--similar to existing tiltrotor aircraft like the Bell-Boeing V22 Osprey."
#Airware Launches Its Commercial Drone Operating system Drones could save businesses big money by doing dull, dirty,
Airware is out to change that with today launch of its Aerial Information Platform. Commercial businesses can now license Airware Flight Core autopilot technology,
Ground Control Station for dispatching drones, and its cloud platform for customizing missions and collecting data.
the four year-old Airware is perhaps Silicon valley premier drone startup. Airware integrated hardware software, and cloud system lets enterprises customize drones to check on gas pipelines,
survey farm land, inspect cell towers, patrol property, or do search & rescue, Now wel see just how many businesses will pay a monthly subscription for Airware to power their drones for industrial inspections, agriculture management, anti-poaching, and more.
Consumer drone makers are growing fast as quadcopters become the hot new toy for kids and adults alike.
Airware bussed investors, customers, and a handful of reporters from San francisco to an isolated farm in Petaluma, where the startup showed off its platform with a variety of drones built for different use cases.
Following a brief introduction by Airware CEO Jonathan Downey, CTO Buddy Michini demonstrated Airware core technologies:
which provides the brains to each drone that Airware powers, the Ground Control Station that lets a single user operate a fleet of drones from a Windows laptop or tablet,
Airware can handle the whole process. The goal is to reduce the drone piloting expertise needed to get complicated missions flown.
Drone operators just set up the standard Airware control system enhance it with cloud widgets to customize their drone to the day use case,
and dig sites using flight plans generated Airware Ground Control Station. Users simply draw out a geofence for the drone to stay within
After several similar demos, Drone America CEO Mike Richards spoke about using his company larger drones with Airware software for missions outside of traditional industrial uses.
During this time, Michini explained Airware plug-in system, which lets customers create widgets for the Ground Control Station in the C# programming language.
These widgets are actually the main reason Airware is sticking with Windows for its tablet app.
When it rolls out to select Airware partners this summer, this new system will let customers take advantage of more advanced sensor
Airware can roll out new products like App Core without having to find new companies to sell to or upsell its current customers.
Airware costs $2500 per drone per year. But the company doesn have to race to revenue just yet.
Now his company Airware is going to teach them to do our bidding, and even save some lives g
So said Joelle Cornet-Templet, a chief stewardess for Air france, about Concorde: one of the world first supersonic civilian airplanes,
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,
which flew until 1999. A variant of the Tupolev was used in experiments by Nasa, and American and Russian aerospace industries, in a joint research program after the end of the Cold war.
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.
A similar concept powers the new missiles used by the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter plane, for instance. Ramjets can move a plane very fast.
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,
The retired Concorde produced a 135-decibel noise on the ground a lot more than the average Airbus. Quote:
Nasa is working with Lockheed martin 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
Nasa is working with Lockheed martin 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.
By 2030 the hypersonic aviation industry could employ over 500,000 people, and be worth 3. 5 billion euros (£2. 5 bn) a year,
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 Concordes and Tupolevs that paved the way for supersonic air travel in the 1970s now gather dust in museums.
