Electric powered aircraft is one of the excellent innovations in the aviation.

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Electric powered aircraft are silent and capable to make the "flying cars", what actually means low prize and sophisticated aerial vehicles possible, and it might have also many other useful possibilities. The electric motors must be powerful, and that limits the operational time. But if the vehicle would be hybrid, this might make it capable to operate in the city area, without disturbing people. In this case, the electric engines are used in lift-off and landings, but when batteries are turning low, the system would start the combustion engine. Of course, the batteries can charge from any socket, what is found, but combustion engines allow to load batteries while the system is airborne.

This allows to flight in the longer periods than pure electric engines allow. There is one possibility to make the clean electric engine aircraft what is lightweight and silent. The fuel cells can be used for creating the electric power to those systems, and if they would use hydrogen as the fuel, there would not be pollution. The term "flying car" means actually the low-prize VTOL-capable (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aerial vehicles, what can also use as a car, that means that they can be driven on highways. Some of those flying cars are looking like cars, but some of the shapes are more aircraft looking.

Those vehicles are tested by many car and aircraft factories, and the military and civil operators have planned them the great role for many purposes. The techniques that are used to produce them can also apply to the normal aircraft. And in many cases, those flying cars are actually very fast in comparison with the normal helicopter, because they are using blower technology, what makes them very fast. That solution, where the engines and propels are putting inside the tube, makes this solution silent and allows the high rotating speed of propels.

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
