The thought about aerodynamics and jet planes

B-1 Lancer

This is the writing about the B-1 “Lancer” and some strange thing about the aviation of the United States Air Force. When we are reading the books of the aerodynamics, we always face the mysterious world “side relationship”. This world means that what kind of capacities the airplane has depends on the relationship of the wing area the length and form of the wing and the body of the airplane, and that´s the reason why some airplanes have so-called “sweep wings” what means that the wing of the airplane will turn backwards, when airplane increases the speed.

The “flying wing” formation has the best relationship cargo and operational range. But when we are talking about the aviation, we can make the many size airplanes with same drawings, and if somebody says, that there is needed more powerful engines, we can simply put more turbojets inside that aircraft body, if we want to make the bigger airplane. But when we want to make the smaller airplane, we can just make smaller body and wings, and also change smaller parts for the hydraulic systems.

So the question of the B-1 bomber is that same body and drawings are suitable for the fast tactical aircraft, what is useful for the same missions, what are reserved for F-22 and another tactical airplane. This aircraft can have the same kind of canopy than other tactical aircraft, but the modern ultra-fast airplane does not need the canopy or windows. The pilot can use the virtual reality for making the observations from the space around the plane.

In this scenario, the surface of the aircraft if full of tiny cameras and other sensors, what will give the pilot 360 degrees observation area, and the computer system can zoom the targets what will not give the positive IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) signal. Also, those virtual systems can be given only the information, what the pilot needs. But when the system faces the EMP-system, will those high-tech systems can be removed in seconds if the pilot needs analogical meters. So those virtualization systems can be fitted to the helmet of the pilot, and if the system fails, will the transfer to analogical systems happen only to cut off the electricity from the virtual mask. And the canopy will just change to the lucid form if the electricity of the system will cut.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful. Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down. The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts. The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
