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.

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

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.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. 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
