NASA’s X-59 enters supersonic thump test phase (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NASA’s experimental supersonic aircraft X-59 Quesst reached a speed of Mach 1.2 on its 25th test flight. The test is now intended to lead to the next phase of test flights, in which the supersonic thumps caused by the aircraft when transitioning to supersonic speed are to be evaluated. The flight again showed that the sonic booms of the accompanying aircraft were louder than the flight noise generated by the X-59. The X-59 test flight was carried out on August 21 by NASA’s NASA at Armstrong Flig
US military tests quantum sensors for flight navigation without GPS over Pacific (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), a development unit of the US Department of Defense, has tested a quantum sensor-based flight navigation system over the Pacific as part of the MagNav program. The DIU announced on Friday. This allows the position to be determined precisely without relying on GPS; for example, if it is jammed by the enemy in military conflicts, the GPS signal fails or cannot be received. The MagNav system, developed by Honeywell Aerospace, uses quantum sensors. These sensors det
Floating Companion: Quiet flying companion robot for a better home environment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Researchers at Japan's Keio University compare their whale-shaped companion robot to Tinkerbell, the small flying fairy in Disney's Peter Pan. The helium-filled flying robot is intended for indoor use. Since the Soft Floating Robot (SFR) operates without noisy propeller drives, it floats quietly around, for example, to remind its users of appointments, to help with learning, and to dance with them. The SFR from the Japanese scientists consists of a helium-filled shell and resembles a flying mini
3D-printed, autonomous VTOL drone fights drone swarms at up to 560 km/h (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The US company SkyDefense has developed an autonomous VTOL drone called CobraJet (Vertical Take-Off and Landing – VTOL), which is intended to be able to independently defend against drone swarm attacks. CobraJet is available in different versions, which, powered electrically or additionally by turbines, can reach speeds of up to 560 km/h. The hull of the interceptor drone comes from the 3D printer. SkyDefense plans to offer five variants of the CobraJet once the fixed-wing drone has passed all t
