But in the future, charging an electric vehicle may require nothing more than driving and parking. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind energy and Energy system Technology IWES in Kassel, Germany, have developed a wireless charger system that not only recharges a battery but also feeds excess energy back into the electrical grid.

With this system in place, energy can be transmitted without a plug and entirely through the air or as researchers explain in more depth, hrough a time-varying magnetic field.

#Helicopter's Robotic Legs Help Stick Tricky Landings Helicopters of the future could use insectlike robotic legs to land in unlikely places like the slopes of steep hills
Touching down on uneven surfaces is something that today's helicopters are equipped just not to do, according to the Defense Advanced Projects Agency,
But robotic landing gear developed for DARPA at the Georgia Institute of technology (Georgia Tech) could better equip these aircraft to land just about anywhere.
The new landing gear features four robotic legs with bendable"knees"that turn a normal helicopter into
the legs automatically move to stabilize the aircraft, according to DARPA officials, who recently tested out the new system near the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta."
unmanned helicopter successfully demonstrated the ability to land and take off from terrain that would be impossible to operate from with standard landing gear,"Ashish Bagai,
DARPA program manager, said in a statement. Embedded with force-sensitive contact sensors on each of its feet,
the robotic legs determine the precise angle they need to assume to keep the helicopter from tipping over
what Bagai referred to as"standard landing gear, "which typically features either retractable wheels or fixed skids (the ski-type beams sometimes seen under the fuselage of a helicopter).
Neither of these options works well on uneven terrain, which is unfortunate, because helicopters often need to land
and take off in areas like disaster zones, where there may not be any flat surfaces, according to DARPA.
The robo-insect landing gear can handle landings on irregular terrain, even if there are significant obstacles in the way,
And besides making landings more versatile, the jointed legs also significantly reduce the damage inflicted on helicopters during"hard landings,"according to DARPA.
The agency said these improved capabilities can"greatly expand"the effectiveness of helicopters used for both military and nonmilitary purposes u

#How to build a hypersonic airliner t is a magic aircraftthe pleasure of flying in it is almost a carnal one.
So said Joelle Cornet-Templet, a chief stewardess for Air france, about Concorde: one of the world first supersonic civilian airplanes,
which flew from 1976 to 2003 and became a watchword for travelling in style. This thoroughbred airliner could fly from London to Sydney in 17 hours, three minutes and 45 seconds;
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,
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.
At the AIAA Hypersonic Space Plane conference in Glasgow in Scotland in July, a paper submitted by Lapcat-II researchers said their early airliner tests suggested such a design would be greener than current aircraft,
just as safe, and would not cost much more than today long-haul flights. Fuel factor Johan Steelant, a senior research engineer at the European space agency (Esa) and coordinator of Lapcat-II,
with his colleagues, has been testing two prototypes. One is a Mach 5 plane the Lapcat-A2 powered by a precooled air-turbo ramjet;
and a promising Esa-designed Mach 8 plane, also powered by a ramjet engine. A ramjet is an air-breathing jet, with no major moving parts.
The engine's forward motion compresses incoming air travelling at high speed, ramming it into a combustion chamber.
Ramjets can move a plane very fast. But how do you power them? Fuel choice is important,
What more, liquid hydrogen fuel is not highly combustible mid-flight. Although hydrogen can be ignited, the risks of an explosion or fire are lower compared to conventional airline kerosene fuel.
Nasa used the same stuff to power the Space shuttle. f there is leak, the hydrogen is
In Asia, Japan aerospace exploration agency (Jaxa) is also working on a hypersonic airliner called Hytex intended to cross the Pacific ocean in two hours at speeds of Mach 5. Both Lapcat-II
The Hytex turbojet engine has been tested successfully in a flight experiment which simulates speeds up to Mach 1. 8. Hytex uses liquid hydrogen both as a fuel
says Hideyuki Taguchi, leader of Jaxa hypersonic airplane research. Hunger for hydrogen But, deriving hydrogen efficiently is one main factor for high operating costs.
the airfare tickets of a hypersonic trip could drop to about half the price of a business-class ticket.
Even though hydrogen-fuelled airliners would not emit greenhouse-increasing gases such as carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides or soot like today subsonic airplanes,
there is another issue. Water vapour produced by hydrogen combustion stays in the stratosphere for a long time and could be a contributing factor to global warming.
And that effect could be worse than the current fleet of long-haul airliners the longer that water vapour remains."
"Lapcat-II also plans for their Mach 8 Esa-variant airliner to fly well above 33 km, hopefully minimising the environmental impact.
when stored as a liquid it needs far less space than gas. f a market for small business jets existed,
Race for the skies Other companies are already working to make the supersonic business-aviation market a reality.
Airbus has patented just a delta-wing Mach 4. 5 hypersonic design that could be used to create business jets.
Spike Aerospace, another US company, plans to launch a similar supersonic business passenger plane with internal video screens linked to external cameras instead of windows.
And Lockheed martin has a commercial plane, the N+2, that will travel at Mach 1. 7. There one problem with flying so fast,

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.
In Europe, Steelant team tested their 300-seat design albeit a 1: 120 scale model, at speeds of Mach 8 within a wind tunnel.
While the design consumes two times more fuel per second than a Mach 4 plane, it gets to the destination in roughly half the time so the fuel consumed overall during the trip is roughly the same.
When we have a lighter airplane, we have lower fuel consumption and smaller tanks, which makes the vehicle again smaller,
The Jaxa project has studied the potential market for hypersonic airliners travelling at Mach 5 and found a 100-passenger aircraft flying two round trips per day is realistic based on market research.
These passengers would be made up mostly of enthusiastic first-class ticket holders. By 2030 the hypersonic aviation industry could employ over 500,000 people,
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,
This represents about 10%of the market of passengers willing to pay for these timesaving routes.
Airbus and Aerion aeroplane tests will start in 2019. The European A2 Mach 5 aeroplane may take another 20 years to complete.
The Esa Mach 8 aeroplane might become commercially sustainable sometime in the mid 21st Century.
The Concordes and Tupolevs that paved the way for supersonic air travel in the 1970s now gather dust in museums.
But their legacy may be continued, fast and high above our heads, in the years to come b
