Debris in orbit is a growing problem. Moving at roughly Mach 25, even a loose screw can inflict catastrophic damage if it collides with a small satellite, creating more debris that can impact other spacecraft. Efforts to deal with this have treated debris as trash,
JETX, born in the year 2020 with the idea of developing the next generation of propulsion systems for the Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL’s) flying vehicles market and high-tech, state of the art manned and unmanned flying vehicles of futuristic design.
JETX is researching &
The Eternium long range multi-role fuel cell electric aircraft and liquid hydrogen fuel production system consists of several patent-pending and novel engineering advances that make long-range (3200nm) electric flight possible. This system is based around our high power density patent-pending Eternium dual-rotor superconductive motor,
The Idea proposed is to construct a Floating Runway in a circular lake.
By having the runway floating, it can be turned in such a way that it is possible to create optimum landing and take off conditions under various types of weather. As the lake would never exceed a total diameter of 1.5 kilometer to 2 kilometers ,
Space Engine Systems Inc. (SES), headquartered in Edmonton, Canada, is currently building the HELLO-1 Experimental, a Mach 5 Hypersonic vehicle using Air Breathing Turbo-Ramjet engines. The vehicle is undergoing full scale ground testing in preparation for flight testing this year.
The biggest challenge to success in hypersonic flight, for both commerce and defence, is heat.
This invention provides vertical lift flight at a much lower power requirement than existing rotorcraft. Existing rotorcraft generate lift by accelerating airflow through the rotor disk. The change in air speed imparts a lifting force on the aircraft through conservation of momentum.
In this device the air flow changes direction, not speed.
The “I JET” is a fully electric private plane that recharges itself using ion collectors to harvest electric energy from the ionosphere. These ion collectors situated on the top of the plane are carbon/graphite/graphene based. According to the proof of concept by the Ion Power Group,
Whenever a plane touches the ground, rubber is pulverized from the tires until they adhere to the ground.
Small electric motors may be used to rotate the wheels such that their peripheral speed matches the plane speed at landing to avoid them sliding at initial touch. This avoids the tires wear and extends their number of landings.
Researchers at INL have developed a large-scale spark plasma sintering process. While small scale SPS has been accomplished, the novelty of this process lies in the tooling and knowledge developed to address the scale up issues and fabricate a viable armor tile.
