and the air intake pointed directly into the air flow. 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

#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:
the Flight Core autopilot system, 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,
Operators can just trace a flight path on a map instead of driving the drone in real-time.
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.
which will provide a full-on Linux computer for developers to work with in addition to the standard Flight Core autopilot and Ground Control Station integration.
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.

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.

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.

and related method for aerial locomotion"was awarded to Airbus, also known as the European aeronautic defence and space company, in July. Airbus said the plane would be targeted mainly at business travel
and VIP passengers"who require transcontinental return journeys within one day, "and at the military.
The plane would achieve its extreme speed with a combination of three sets of engines turbojets for taxiing, takeoff and landing;
The Concorde, built by Aerospatiale and British Aircraft Corp. The Tupolev tu-144 or"Charger"built by Voronezh Aircraft Production Association.
No sonic boom on ground But the patent says its main improvement over those two is that it reduces the noise of the sonic boom a loud bang caused by shockwaves created by an object moving faster than the speed of sound."
if not the only one, preventing the opening of lines other than transatlantic ones for the Concorde aircraft,
Airbus said it files for hundreds of patents a year.""These patents are often based on R&d concepts and ideas in a very nascent stage of conceptualization,
"Airbus has filed other unusual aircraft patents in the past. For example, last summer, it filed a patent to bicycle-style seats on planes that would make it possible to cram more passengers in the same amount of space.
"Federal aviation administration chief Michel Huerta said at a news conference to announce the step. Registration will increase pressure on drone operators to fly responsibly,

Airbus files patent for a hypersonic jet more than double the speed of Concorde A trip from London to New york could take just one hour

The US Patent and Trademark Office recently approved an application from Airbus for the new jet,
Business Insider points out that this is a major improvement on the 3. 5 hours it took for the now Mach 2 Concorde to make the same trip.
500km/h). Two turbo jets would allow the aircraft to climb vertically at takeoff, before retracting into the fuselage just before it reaches the speed of sound.
Airbus says it has designed the craft's aerodynamics to limit sonic boom, which was a major problem for Concorde
when it flew over land. Passengers on the aircraft will be limited to 20.''In the case of civil applications, the market envisaged is principally that of business travel and VIP passengers,
Airbus thinks the jet would be able to complete trips such as Tokyo to Los angeles in just three hours.
The aircraft manufacturer says the hypersonic jet could also be for military applications, working to transport soldiers at rapid speeds.
But Airbus isn't the only one vying to create hypersonic aircraft technology. Last month, Air force bosses revealed they hope to have a hypersonic plane capable of crossing countries in minutes by 2023.
