The first flying car, what people really can buy.

This is the very good advantage for flying cars and for the first time, normal people can buy this kind of vehicle. The major problem with those cheap airborne vehicles is about legislative. The person, who wants to fly those vehicles must have flier's license, what is a quite expensive investment. But those flying cars might take the price of that thing down, but when we are thinking about those cheap airborne vehicles, the technology, what is used in them, have been in use about 20 years. And the term "flying car" means V/STOL (Vertical/ Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, that can be as easy to buy like automobiles.

Some of that equipment would drive on the road like automobiles. But there is a couple of problems with those vehicles, and one of those problems is that they can be used to replace combat helicopters in some conflicts. And if somebody makes the decision to equip those vehicles with machine guns, would the result be deadly, and many so-called "third world nations" might have thoughts, that those "flying cars" could be used in military missions. Those vehicles can use advanced autopilots, and GPS equipment, but if the autopilot would be cut or get malfunctions, would that cause the situation, where the pilot might need to take control, and if the flight skills not found, would results be catastrophic.

Those advanced autopilots and flight control computers use cameras, GPS and GSM-data to communicate with computer centers, what can control the traffic in the air, but if the system would get the malfunction, the flying car can turn dangerous, and if it hits some airplane, the result would be devastating. But flying cars can be used also as replacers of cranes in building sites and those air vehicles could also replace helicopters in many missions, and if they are equipped with the group convention, can they work as a group, that means they can rise very heavy elements from the ground. And this means that they are not toys for some rich people.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(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.

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
