#Edge-of-space planes to free-up congested skies Making predictions about the future of aviation is dangerous;

Airships were supposed to be the way of the future, not aircraft. Experts believed the aviation industry would die because of environmental concerns and falling passenger numbers.

New generations of aircraft like the Boeing 787 and the Airbus a380 are far more efficient than older aircraft#70%more fuel efficient than aircraft of 40 years ago, according to the International air transport association (IATA.

Air traffic control and airport management will also be revolutionised as digital technology makes aircraft easier to manage.

Lighter aircraft can be bigger and carry more freight and passengers. New fuelsin years to come they can be flown remotely, too.

Passenger aircraft might not be flown remotely#we will still feel safer with a human in the cockpit

British aerospace flew an aircraft remotely to Inverness in Scotland this summer in a Civil aviation Authority-supported experiment.

The number of aircraft flying on our skies, however, also depends on the infrastructure to safely manage it.

assembly-line machines do their own'thinking'A major consumer of time and money in the manufacturing of aircraft, motor vehicles,

Different models of aircraft have different body shapes, different types of seats and cabins, and so on.

All of this affects the shape and size of the fuselage. This means that production lines have to switch from one variety of aeroplane to another using different machines and different setups for the machines.

This costs time and money. PRESS can help significantly reduce costs by having the machines themselves adapt to different aeroplane models

says Peschl. roducts used to be more standardised. Today, customers want more varieties and customised products.

or a cargo-hold from damaging the structure or tearing a hole in the fuselage and bringing down the plane.

The primary challenge was to make these state-of-the-art materials contain the rapid gas expansion that occurs in an explosion strong enough to rip open the aluminium fuselage of a plane.

One of the major potential uses is on cargo planes not to confine terrorist bombs, but to transport dangerous materials."

According to Zangani, the first Fly-Bags are expected to be installed in commercial passenger planes in 2013.

"Unmanned aircraft offer news organizations significant opportunities,"says FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.""We hope this agreement with CNN

and other media outlets looking to tap into the potential of unmanned aircraft, to others it may seem a little overdue with the FAA still outlawing drone use for commercial purposes.

I asked why you don t see wipers on some aircraft on when they are coming in at very low levels for landing.

But the e-commerce giant isn t the only company researching how to harness the potential of small unmanned aircraft:

##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,

Its frame is created from carbon fiber to keep the aircraft lightweight and It seats two people.

Not only was impressed the team with the smooth flight experience of the aircraft, but they were surprised also by how quiet the Volocopter ran.

It is E-volo s hopes that the aircraft will eventually get up to speeds of 50 knots and stay in the air for more than an hour.

With some economy airlines charging significantly more to sit in an exit row or close to the front of the plane,

He s taken it on planes on many occasions as part of a project that began some years ago in the Marshall islands.

The EPFL team noted its work underscores confidentiality issues with drones as its aircraft can pull phones Wi-fi network names and MAC addresses.

With the top speed of a these trains just 25 percent less than the average speed of a commercial airplane (which travels at about 800 kilometers per hour), one can travel faster between city center to city center

The findings, reported in the journal Science, could lead to cheaper and greener cars, planes and electronics.

thermosets are used throughout modern cars and aircraft, often mixed with carbon fibers to form composites. Some 50%of the new Airbus a350 jet, for example, will be made from composites.

Yet until now, none of this thermoset plastic could be recycled. The potential impact here is said phenomenal

and onboard battery storage that allows the planes to fly at night. The drones are huge aircraft the smaller model,

the Solara 50, is actually larger than a Boeing 767 jetliner, boasting a 164-foot wingspan.

The problem with solar planes is that they are limited to smaller payloads, said drone expert Patrick Egan.

which has flown already a model aircraft on it. The Navy 289 vessels all rely on oil-based fuel,

with the exception of some aircraft carriers and 72 submarines that rely on nuclear propulsion. Moving away from that reliance would free the military from fuel shortages

and manufacturing costs by designing a critical aircraft part that was 83 percent lighter and yet still met the safety and design criteria, according to GE general manager for technology Christine Furstoss.

unmanned aircraft operated by Israel, the U k. and the U s. are capable of tracking and firing on aircraft and missiles.

On some of its Navy cruisers, the U s. also operates Phalanx, a stationary system that can track

and engage anti-ship missiles and aircraft. The Army is testing a gun-mounted ground vehicle, MAARS, that can fire on targets autonomously.

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

proven techniques already widely used in the likes of smart phones, cars and airplanes. It has been estimated there are already 50 MEMS sensors in a modern car.

If an enemy boat or aircraft gets too close to a Navy ship, the laser can deter the threat with an effect known as optical"dazzling."

IBM said the materials could even potentially be used in airplanes, where their strength, light weight,

resistance to stress and self-healing abilities could allow them to be used on airplane wings.

"In addition to the hard material that IBM says could be used for airplane wings, they also developed an elastic gel that is mostly liquid

"It is like an airplane with wings upside down,"Graham Hawkes, founder and chief technical officer of Hawkes Ocean Technologies, told the Chronicle."

Also airplanes etched in these nanostructures could potentially avoid the dangers of water freezing on the wings.

Should Jets Be rerouted to Avoid Warming Contrails? Pennsylvania State university geography professor Andrew M. Carleton and graduate student Jase Bernhardt studied April data from two weather stations, one in the South and the other in the Midwest,

when commercial jets were grounded, suggested that the absence of contrails had an effect upon weather. But it took the longer recent study to show that the effect could be observed over a longer period as well.

and the jets are not always active exploring them remotely is challenging. The more the spacecraft can do without waiting for communication with Earth the better they can explore especially

But the most radical aspect of the redesign is the landing gear which will allow astronauts to set the spacecraft down on solid ground.

Like passengers in today's commercial aeroplanes riders of the Dragon V2 won't get much leg room in the capsule's tight quarters.

or the air flows that make aeroplane flights bumpy. Now Sandra Chapman of the University of Warwick UK and her colleagues have examined the solar wind's behaviour using NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft.

which combined parachutes with landing gear powered by retrorockets that could lower the rover to the surface on tethers.

One of the alternative models was just little pockets of water driving the jets and in that model you wouldn't have much in the way of life

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.

while the two lobes on the horizontal plane consist of slower-moving particles (watch a NASA video of the tail in action).

Instead the smaller cheaper machine might help labs around the world study deep-space objects such as powerful radiation jets squirted out by black holes.

so that it crashes into metal atoms releasing a jet of electrons and positrons. These particles are separated into two beams with magnets (Physical Review Letters doi. org/m2n.

whereas our jet is a hundred times narrower and remains pencil-like as it propagates he adds.

and everything is defined in planes. In many applications you want the three-dimensionality: 3-D printing is going to make a big difference in the kinds of systems we can put together

If I turn on the two jets at one end it won t go straight. It will just turn.

The control algorithm constantly adjusts the velocity of the water pumped through each of the six jets to keep the robot on course.

if you take the area of the plane and the solid angle of light coming out from that plane, that is fixed,

Cossairt says. hat that means is that if you take the 3-D image size

These illicit products which include electronics, automotive and aircraft parts, pharmaceuticals, and food can pose safety risks and cost governments and private companies hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

For example, in trying to prevent the buildup of ice on an airplane wing, the contact time of raindrops is critical:

#Finding blood clots before they wreak havoc Life-threatening blood clots can form in anyone who sits on a plane for a long time is confined to bed

including materials used in aircraft, oil wells, and other critical industrial applications. Metal fatigue, for example which can result from an accumulation of nanoscale cracks over time s probably the most common failure modefor structural metals in general

An additional major advantage is the ability to bring these models on commercial airplanes, whereas real parts of bombs are allowed never.

It could enable an aircraft to fly anywhere in the world in under four hours says Bond.

Most aircraft are designed to fly with a nose up angle of attack. This way the fuselage generates lift.

Since the engine inlet is extremely sensitive to the direction of airflow at high mach numbers it is angled down 7 degrees

It s based on aircraft carriers which are notoriously challenging to land on. The Navy s own X-47b experimental drone has landed on an aircraft carrier successfully

and autonomously so adding a computer copilot to a naval craft could help there too.

Bringing the artificial intelligence inside the cockpit is one major way robots will fly alongside humans in fighters of the future--but it s not the only one.

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
