Russian winged submarine would be a fascinating idea

I found interesting film on YouTube, what tells the story about Russian winged submarine, what seems very unique idea. The reason for those massive wing structure might be planned because those wings allow that the submarine could jump from the water like some giant dolphin or flying fish, and those wings would allow that this submarine could fly to a longer distance.

This submarine would use this ability when it flees from torpedoes. Another way to to make flying submarine is to replace the missile tubes with giant turbines, what was installed in tubes, what goes thru the hull of the submarine. This system might be used for nuclear power, and in theory, those submarines can fly to the earth orbiter. If that system would be made someday, it will have more capacity to operate than any ISS (International Space Station).


And those over 200 meters long systems would give the sophisticated opportunity for scientific and military operations at Earth orbiter. But those systems need nuclear power to operate perfectly. And the use of nuclear reactors would be quite dangerous in those cases, where untested technology would be used the first time. Those very rare but at the same time fascinating ideas are making engineering interesting thing, and probably some of them might be done in some day.


The idea of flying submarine would be one of them. And in theory somebody would replace missile tubes of some submarine with turbines, that can raise this thing to the air, but there would need very much power. Because this device would be heavier than air, could it maneuver by more agilely than the normal airship, and this makes it more capable than airships, what are lighter than air. The structure of airship makes it very easy to damage, and even one ammunition from the machine gun, what makes holes to the gas tanks might destroy that vehicle.


But heavier than air vehicles would also maneuver tightly, but the problem of those vehicles is, that they would need fuel during all operation, and the fuel is needed very much. And if the system uses nuclear energy, would there need the only propellant for those motors, what must raise tens tons to air. This kind of things are weird examples of engineering, and capacities, what imagination can give to technical advantages. And here we must say, that people thought that motorized aircraft was the hoax until Wright brothers flew with the motorized airplane in Kitty Hawk at 1901.

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
