#In Sweden Remote-control Airport Is A Reality As our plane touches down in Sundsvall Sweden the horizon is all snow and ice.
But this airport actually has two air traffic control centers. The second one is just a short walk from the airport runway.
Inside a ground-floor windowless room there's a display that looks exactly like what you'd see out of an air traffic control tower.
You can see the snowy runway you can see the trees you can even see a car pulling into the airport parking lot.
And the airport you're looking at isn't the one in Sundsvall. It's the one in Ornskoldsvik Sweden#about 105 miles away.
Ornskoldsvik is the first airport in the world to land passenger planes remotely. This summer an airport in Leesburg Va. will become the first American airport to use the new technology.
Erik Backman runs the remote airplane landing center in the town of Sundsvall. He explains that the town of Ornskoldsvik has a tiny airport
and it's expensive to keep air traffic controllers there who spend hours with no planes to land.
The day you have one air traffic controller who can control two airports then you have some good benefits according to costs Backman says.
For the air traffic controller this is like airline pilots going from propeller to jet Henriksson says. It's a paradigm shift.
And that might make this technology useful even for big crowded airports. Anders Carp is head of traffic management at Saab the Swedish defense
Airports in dangerous places could have a camera house instead of a control tower he says. The air traffic controllers could be a few
The passengers#and even the pilot#have no idea whether they've been brought in for a landing from the tower they can see out their window or from this hidden remote center more than a 100 miles away
"The technology doesn't offer the same level of evidence as medical research on animals or small pilot human trials,
where mock weapons and explosives were smuggled through airports, undetected in 95%of cases. The terahertz technology may also prove useful in discovering concealed goods in the retail industry or for non-destructive monitoring, for example quality control in drugs or food.

Marion tells PSFK, ith the line flier pod, (the drone) makes it easy. The Line Flier pod
which flies baits to specific areas was the original inspiration but two more pods has been developed:
With a $150, 000 goal on Kickstarter, Aguadrone will sell its flagship fliers at $399 with the Fish Scout and Line Flier pod.
They say the device taps in to the body's natural rhythm and gives the wearer control over how alert
This is all the information needed for the device to tap into the body's natural response to external rhythms."

and human airway tissue taken from both asthmatic and non-asthmatic people, the researchers discovered that increased numbers of calcium-sensing receptors usually accompanied healthier lung tissue,
as compared to the airway tissue without calcium-sensing receptors. Based on the study, the researchers concluded that this is one of the main reasons for the excessive inflammatory responses that occur in people with asthma.
and they say their pilot plant in Dresden will pump out 160 litres of the of the stuff every day in the coming months to power their Audi a8 cars.
the drones will need to operate semi-autonomously as well as being directed by a human pilot: having the ability to navigate environments on their own ensures they can travel greater distances and cover more land.
The robot can also continue on an indicated path on'auto pilot 'if the patient gets tired of giving it mental direction,

Solving the problem is not so simple, especially with regards to aviation the source of two-percent of the annual greenhouse gas emissions from human activity.
Ours is the first process to generate true drop in aviation biofuels. Scown cites the Intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) on the importance of drop in aviation biofuels. n a 2014 report
the IPCC pointed out that drop in biofuels are the only viable alternative to conventional jet fuels,
air travel is going to require renewable liquid fuels because batteries and fuel cells simply aren practical. The process developed at EBI can be used to selectively upgrade alkyl methyl ketones derived from sugarcane biomass into trimer condensates with better than 95-percent yields.

#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.
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.
Typical fossil fuels used in aviation are formed from the organic remains of dead plants and animals that have been buried deep within the Earth.
Burning these fuels is great for combustion but it also releases the organic materialscarbon components into the atmosphere,

Or, better yet, how about underwater aircraft carriers? As Peter W. Singer, an expert on drones and warfare, pointed out about recent DARPA initiatives,
f you are looking at other places where you might see aircraft carriers, don look up in the air, look under the water.
Yes, that right underwater aircraft carriers for drones. In yet another experiment, the U s. Naval Research Laboratory showed that it was possible to release a drone from a submerged submarine with the robotic drone shot out of a Tomahawk missile tube.
which suggests that there just aren enough drone pilots out there to keep up with the military use of drones.
A pilot for the project is also likely to be tested in India this year following a second stage of the USAID grant.
