The new era of aviation is so-called cheap aircraft, what can be equipped with same engines as cars, and what are easy to control. Above the text is a link to the video, of EKRANOPLAN of WIG (Wing In Ground) vehicle, what uses hybrid-motors. Those engines are actually electric motors, what is connected to a generator and car motor. That system gives this kind of aircraft capacity to use normal petroleum as fuel.


WIG-technology means that under the airplane is made the air cushion, and the airplane is laying on it. The system is actually quite easy to make, and it needs only the flaps what makes dam under the wing of the plane. This flap turns down, and it can give airplane the capacity to flight very low altitude with very high speed.

The air cushion makes this kind of low-level flight safe. Those WIG-flaps are tested in carrier-operative fast attack aircraft because that allows the plane attack against ships at very low altitude and high speed. But that technology can give more capacity for cargo-aircraft, what carries very heavy cargo because it can give the extra upthrust to airplanes.


WIG aircraft could be very large, and that’s why it fascinates many actors. Those aircraft can carry troops and tanks to beaches at very high speed. And this is the reason, why the Soviet Union tested high-speed low-flight amphibious aircraft in Caspian sea. This aircraft was delayed, but the smaller craft would be still in service. The similar technology what is used in WIG-aircraft can also give the airplane capacity to fly extra high altitude.


If the wing of the aircraft would equip with the flaps, what is turning downwards that would dam the air under the wing. This would help aircraft to fly in the stratosphere. If under the outer edge of the wing would be put the small plate, what is downwards, can it stop the stabilization of pressure and even that gives high-altitude aircraft like U-2 spy-plane capacity to fly extreme high altitude, but then all the wing would make overpressure under their area, the airplane would fly even higher.  And if the motor would get oxygen from the bottle, it would give thrust in the near the limit of space.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  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
