Text of the page (random words):
has designed this aircraft in a number of creative ways that were intended to make flying a much more enjoyable experience unfortunately the plane has undergone many problems with various components of its design especially the battery which is most likely due to the sheer number of new features in this plane that have not been fully tested while the plane itself may not be a perfect example of successful innovation in aerospace many of the technologies incorporated on the plane are very impressive and worth discussing for starters the dreamliner is 60 less noisy than other planes of similar size this is mostly due to the materials used in the cabin and on the exterior as well the fuselage is made of lightweight composite materials including a carbon fiber and epoxy composite that make the plane very fuel efficient the design is so fuel efficient in fact that it would have been the first midsize plane to be able to fly long distance trips the design is also very space efficient as seen by its 30 larger overhead storage area and window size compared to similar size planes the windows also no longer have the plastic shade boeing came up with a creative idea here that suits this decade much better than a simple shade each window has a button that allows for the adjustment of transparency of the window using an electrochromic dimming system this works by applying a burst of electricity to reduce the transparency in the special type of glass that the window is made of so basically each window seat passenger gets to control the brightness of their window using a button instead of a shade another aspect of the dreamliner that boeing is particularly proud of is the led mood lighting installed in the cabin the lights are programmed to glow certain colors at particular times such as an orange light during meal time and a soft lavender glow when passengers need to relax many studies have been done on testing the effects of color on our moods and i think this is quite an interesting use of that information probably the feature that was getting the dreamliner the most media attention is the fact that it runs on a biofuel blend of mostly used cooking oil combined with the technological innovations this fuel would have resulted in the plane emitting a total of 30 less greenhouse gasses than other planes of the same size the concept that i find the most innovative and impressive about this design is its turbulence reducing system the engineers on this project came up with algorithms that work in combination with sensors and accelerometers on the plane in order to predict a big turbulence bump and change the wing control surfaces in minor ways in order to mitigate the effects of the turbulence i honestly have no idea what other applications this technology can have aside from possibly increased stability control on other aircraft i am simply fascinated that we have technology so advanced that we can design a system to target and counteract forces as random as turbulence overall there are many technological innovations in this plane that i believe have the potential to become much more popular in the future designs of commercial aircraft reference cnngo staff 787 dreamliner takes flight cnn travel web october 2011 http travel cnn com explorations life whats so special about boeing dreamliner 766616 1 comment filed under uncategorized may 10 2013 6 05 pm lockheed unmanned military helicopter is huge success charles kaman invented the k max in the 1940 s it was a new type of helicopter called a synchropter that had two main rotors that spun in opposite directions in order to provide more lift and get rid of the need for a tail rotor it was mainly used in the logging industry today missions to get food and supplies to our soldiers in afghanistan have become increasingly more dangerous due to roadside bombs which have been the cause of over half of our soldier s deaths since 2008 the navy and marine corps looked into this and ultimately decided to have a competition where they allowed certain companies to design an unmanned aerial cargo transport vehicle for military purposes naturally with today s technology the navy wanted an unmanned aerial system not only for safety reasons but also to allow it to carry more cargo because of the absence of onboard human weight lockheed martin took the k max synchropter and redesigned it to fit the navy s needs over the past year and a half or so it has successfully flown over 1000 missions and delivered over 3 million pounds of cargo to our troops source http www flightglobal com the technology in this helicopter is so advanced that it does not even need a person to fly it through remote controls although that is an option in fact the k max can be programmed to fly to specific destinations and it carries out its route using gps along with onboard altitude and orientation sensors it can fly at 115 mph for up to 250 miles and it can carry up to 6 000 pounds of cargo which is a much heavier load than previous cargo helicopters it also is very good at hovering in place which is an ideal skill when lowering cargo to the ground this technology here is clearly the future of cargo transport in warzones and also in unmanned aerial vehicle systems in general what impresses me the most about this innovative helicopter is that it does not need a pilot at all most unmanned aerial systems have a pilot that controls the aircraft by remote control from a base somewhere while looking at the live video feeds from the aircraft gps and other orientation technologies have become so advanced that we can now program large aircraft to fly wherever we want them to at the touch of a button eliminating the need for a pilot altogether this makes me think about how long it will be before an airline develops a passenger plane that s flight is entirely determined by complex computer programming as opposed to a human pilot i realize that this idea will scare many people because of the natural tendency to trust fellow humans over machines but i do not it will be too long before we see the first passenger plane that has implemented technology similar to the unmanned k max 2 comments filed under uncategorized may 3 2013 11 48 pm yves rossy the closest person to a real life iron man in 2006 yves rossy became the first person to fly with a jet propelled wing yes you read that correctly a kerosene powered jet turbine propelled six foot wide wing that is strapped to one person s back to this day he is the only person who has done this source http www jetman com page_id 869 yves knew since he was a child that he loved flying and he wanted to become a pilot he eventually accomplished this dream by becoming a pilot in the military he loved flying so much however that he decided to experiment with many more natural forms of it including skydiving and wing suit diving this was not enough however he wanted to do more flying and less falling so he invented his first wing which was a rigid harness with inflatable panels for wings that allowed him to fall forward this led him to come up with the idea for a powered wing similar to a jet pack from that idea his first engine powered wing was born in 2005 it had two turbines and did not have enough power to propel him upwards but enough to maintain level flight now he has a much more advanced wing powered by four turbines that allow him to do complicated aerial maneuvers and fly for 10 13 minutes at an average speed of 125 mph after he has flown for about 8 minutes he pulls the cord that opens his parachute and he calmly glides back down to earth the fascinating thing about this design that distinguishes it from a miniature airplane is that the wing is strapped straight to rossy s back and it has no control surfaces whatsoever the pitch yaw and roll are entirely controlled by rossy s body movements and a throttle control that he holds in his hand this type of control is very similar to wing suit diving and skydiving and he plans to keep his future designs controlled in this same manner his current wing does not have enough power or control to take off from the ground so rossy has to fly up in an airplane and from there he jumps out and starts his wings engines there are rumors that he is developing the next generation wing that will allow him to fly from base jumping off of cliffs instead of having to fly up to a high altitude in an airplane already he has been able to do some incredible stunts including flying over the grand canyon and even flying in formation with other planes there are not many words that can describe my excitement about this technology it is essentially the beginning of individual iron man flight suits and i seriously hope that i will live to see the day where i can buy one of these for myself jet wing vs iron man capabilities not yet yes rocket launcher x helmet with integrated humanoid robot analyst x incredible user controlled flight capabilities x source author 5 comments filed under uncategorized april 26 2013 10 14 pm the solar impulse the world s most advanced solar powered plane the solar impulse is currently the most advanced plane in existence that runs entirely on solar power in 2010 the solar impulse made headlines when it completed the first ever solar powered night flight flying 26 hours non stop in 2012 it flew from europe to africa which was the first intercontinental solar powered flight in 2015 the founders are planning to make the first solar powered coast to coast flight which will start in san francisco and end in new york the plane has a massive wingspan of over 208 feet weighs less than a car and has a cockpit just big enough for the pilot with no passengers most of the wing area is covered in photovoltaic cells solar panels that power the plane in daylight while also sending power to be stored in the plane s battery which is what allows the plane to fly at night one of the things that amazes me about the solar impulse it that the solar panels only generate enough power to give the plane about 8 hp this is about the amount of power the wright brothers were working with when they made their first powered flight it is practically nothing and as a result the plane has a top speed of just 43 mph with a maximum bank angle of 10 degrees it is also vulnerable to bad weather and it cannot fly through clouds so overall it is quite fragile the creators of the solar impulse have stated that the technology employed in their plane would not come close to replacing jet fuel powered commercial airplanes to power a commercial airliner it would take two solar panels roughly the size of football fields which would obviously not be feasible at all it is clear that this plane is more of a demonstration of the potential of solar power in the future and also the movement towards using environmentally conscious forms of energy as much as possible so while this may not be a very practical design for today s airplanes it is still very much a feat of remarkable engineering and it gives me the feeling that i am getting a glimpse into the future of one area of the aerospace industry the creators of the solar impulse are already working on the next generation solar powered plane which will supposedly be able to complete the first solar powered flight around the world after that who knows where this technology will take us i imagine that someday we might be able to use solar power to travel to outer space 2 comments filed under uncategorized april 19 2013 10 52 pm the new eye in the sky the boeing phantom eye the boeing phantom eye is a propeller driven unmanned high altitude long endurance aircraft that can be used for many purposes including intelligence surveillance reconnaissance communication with our navy disaster relief and search and rescue the project is still in the testing phase and is completely internally funded which shows the level of confidence that boeing has in the aircraft s potential as far as i know there have only been two test flights of the phantom the first one was in june of 2012 where the aircraft reached an altitude of 4 080 feet and flew for 28 minutes but then had a rocky landing when the landing gear malfunctioned and dug into the ground instead of allowing a smooth stop which caused some damage to come to the aircraft for the second flight which took place on february 25 th 2013 the development team made sure to upgrade the landing gear software to ensure a perfect landing during that second flight the phantom reached 8 000 feet and flew for 66 minutes one of the main innovations with this plane is that it can fly for four days at an altitude of 65 000 feet with a 450 pound payload of surveillance equipment this is quite an impressive design because of its ability to carry such a large payload while maintaining a very long flight time as far as uavs go what i don t understand is why neither of those flights came close to testing the four day time period that boeing claims the plane can fly for on one tank of fuel i am assuming that they did not want to test that limit of the plane just yet but i am not sure why that is in either case the flights were successes proving that this is a valid design for an aircraft that is not what amazes me the most though what is so fascinating to me has to do with how environmentally conscious this design is the phantom runs entirely on liquid hydrogen this means that when that fuel is combusted in the engine the only byproduct is water this in itself is an incredible example of human innovation but what amazes me about it is that the military is developing this technology when i think of military aircraft the first thing that comes to my mind is the lockheed martin sr 71 blackbird which flies at over 2 000 mph and uses up almost all of its fuel reserves just to get off the ground my point is that when it comes to military aircraft performance is always the first priority and they traditionally do not take into account environmental friendliness for fear of sacrificing performance the phantom completely breaks that stereo type boeing was so innovative that they came up with a design for this airplane that could be extremely environmentally conscious while still having the best performance the fact that this plane combines those two qualities in its design is what makes it so incredible hopefully we will see this technology put to good use in our military and from there it will inspire people to move in a new line of thinking when designing future military aircraft leave a comment filed under uncategorized april 12 2013 10 12 pm the world s first spherical flying machine the first aeronautical invention that i wanted to talk about is more of a neat and impressive novelty than a creation that will forever change the aerospace industry but nevertheless i thought it was worth highlighting around a year and a half ago the world s first spherical flying machine was developed it is remote controlled and similar to a helicopt...
