SR-71 and it's successors

SR-71 "Blackbird" is still officially the fastest aircraft in the world, but there is probably much better and more secretive aircraft, what is more, secure than this 60 years old veteran. The rumors say that in the world of intelligence have been transferred to use drones, and maybe SR-71's drone version is still operational. Today SR-71 is one of the most famous aircraft in the world, but in the early 1970's that aircraft was top secret.


When we are talking about drone versions of the recon planes, we must say that making those things is similar to making cruise missiles. The inertial navigation system can fly very complicated routes, and the system would work with the clock. The system operator would calculate the distance, what the aircraft would travel in the atmosphere, and then the computer would program to turn some direction by using some degrees.


As an example, the system can calculate to travel in some direction by using the speed of Mach 3 and then turn 20 degrees to the left. The thing what denies to hit to the ground is that the flight altitude would adjust higher than the tallest point on the ground. Actually, that aircraft could fly above normal air traffic. Then the GPS would deny taking the aircraft to control in the wrong airspace. If the aircraft would go too low the self-destruction would terminate it immediately.


The robot aircraft would give the very good option for intelligence because the pilot would not see the aircraft. And they would be told, that they are operating with some Predator-drones. The pilot is necessary only in the landing or taking off, but the modern computer technology can deny that problem, and the system can operate autonomous from the highly secured areas. Famous AREA-51 is not only a military area, what is used for those operations. The robot technology allows using self-destruction modules in those aircraft, and because there are no pilots on board, nobody ever notices, that those aircraft are missing.

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.

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
