Self-Healing PCB Circuits for Autonomous Space Electronics

Spacecraft electronics are vulnerable to damage from temperature extremes, impacts, and long missions. Traditional PCBs cannot repair themselves after cracks or fractures, risking total mission failure.

This invention introduces self-healing PCB circuits using embedded microfluid channels underneath the electrical traces. If a trace fractures, conductive liquid metal flows into the break and restores the circuit automatically.

Single-Pivot Oblique Wing Design for Future Aircraft: Integration of Aerodynamic Performance, Structural Stability, and Energy Optimization

Oblique Wing research-driven design addresses the aerodynamic inefficiencies of conventional symmetric wing configurations at high-speed flight regimes by proposing a structurally optimized oblique wing (OW) configuration. Unlike conventional sweep-back designs, the OW incorporates a single-pivot, asymmetric wing structure capable of variable sweep adjustment,

Space Gas Station

The benefits of liquid oxygen (LOX) propellant depots in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) are becoming increasingly apparent, as evidenced by investments from NASA and aerospace contractors in fuel storage and transfer technologies. But LOX fuel is still launched from Earth at a cost of 22kg of launch propellant for every kilogram put in orbit.

Twin Terrain Mobility Tactical Vehicle

The Twin Terrain Mobility Tactical Vehicle (TTMTV) is a futuristic solution to the mobility restrictions of tracked vehicles (a.k.a. tanks) experienced in the Defense industry. It is generally known that wheeled vehicles lose traction in terrains such as mud, sand and snow. Tracked vehicles do much better on these terrains. However, tracked vehicles are incompatible with paved surfaces,

Virtual Terrain

Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others died when their highly experienced helicopter pilot became disoriented after he lost sight of the terrain below. The pilot, Ara Zobayan, was flying under visual flight rules (VFR) in conditions that required instrument flight rules (IFR) due to low visibility and a low cloud ceiling. He climbed into the clouds,
