#Supersonic Aircraft patented by an Airbus Group Company The European aeronautic defence and space company has patented a revolutionary aircraft that leaves every other supersonic jet far behind.
The sonic boom created by this aircraft is surprisingly less than that of the Concorde. The aircraft is equipped with two ramjets under its delta wings, a pair of Turbojets under the front part of the fuselage and a rocket engine at the rear end of the fuselage.
The turbojets are used for propelling the aircraft during taxiing and takeoff. The passengers and the crew are placed in hammocks for improved comfort.
Once the aircraft climbs to a certain altitude, the turbojets are retracted into the fuselage. At this point, the rocket engine is ignited at full power causing the aircraft to travel vertically like a rocket at supersonic speeds.
Because of this vertical trajectory, the energy of the supersonic boom is dissipated in all horizontal radial directions
and does not encounter the ground. The ingenuity that makes higher supersonic speeds possible lies in the pair of fins situated on the outer ends of the delta wings.
At speeds less than MACH 1, these fins are oriented horizontally. However, once the speed exceeds MACH 1
the fins are oriented vertically. This causes the centre of pressure to be maintained at the same point and thus providing greater stability.
the aircraft curves into a horizontal trajectory at which point the rocket engine is powered off and closed by a door to make it streamlined.
The ram jets are ignited then and the aircraft is propelled horizontally at supersonic speeds. At 4. 5 mach, you can reach from London to NY in 1 hr.
Currently it takes a 7 hrs flight. The flight path of this aircraft technically makes it the highest roller coaster in the world.

#A major commercial airliner will fly on animal poop this summer Wee not letting our animal waste go to waste.
This summer, United airlines will starting flying planes using fuel derived from farm animal poop and fats.
The effort is an attempt to curb the greenhouse gas emissions produced by burning jet fuel in commercial aircraft.
The first partially poo-powered flight will be a short one, taking off from Los angeles and landing in San francisco. Then for next two weeks, United will fly four to five flights a day between LA and San francisco,
all of which will contain about 30 percent biofuel. The animal-based propellent is produced by California-based Altair Fuels.
Today, United will announce a $30 million investment in Fulcrum Bioenergy, one of the largest makers of aviation biofuels.
Globally, airlines have been looking at biofuel use for some time, but this marks the biggest ever investment in alternative fuels by a major commercial airline, reports The New york times. Eventually, United plans to integrate biofuels into its entire fleet.
