Oscillating Air Flux Phenomena and Safety of VTOL Aircraft

This entry explains clearly how poor understanding is resulting in incorrect arrangement of propellers, causing serous VTOL Flight safety issues, and shows the solution to the problem.

I am going to discuss V–22 Osprey aircraft as the most prominent case pertaining to the issues above.

Overall V–22 Osprey is an outstanding engineering achievement, given the humble means,

Platinum

Platinum from Asteroids. Many sought it. Technology fell short. Here's the answer, just released (Advances In Space Research, Elsevier):

$1,370,000,000 in Pt from Main Belt asteroids per each 12-month mission, now possible.

Three innovations make this possible:

Fe and Ni are boiled off M-class ore, leaving platinum group metals behind.

Rotating-Field Modulated Antenna (RFMA): Compact VLF Transmission via Electromagnetic Energy Circulation

The Rotating-Field Modulated Antenna (RFMA) introduces a novel method for achieving compact and efficient Very Low Frequency (VLF) communication by synthesizing and modulating circulating electromagnetic energy. This solution addresses a long-standing limitation in VLF systems, where conventional antennas must span hundreds to thousands of meters to achieve meaningful radiation efficiency.
