EOS Airlines' $6500 Roundtrip Airfare

The venerable SST was retired in June of 2003 after nearly 35 years of service. In its place is a void that has yet to be filled. EOS Airlines, with a fleet of custom outfitted Boeing 757 aircraft is attempting to fill that void. Can they pull it off? The smart money is on the business traveler seeking to arrive in London or New York refreshed and ready to get down to serious business.

Testing X-Planes Under Satellite Surveillance

The United States and our technologies are far more advanced than any other current civilization, but this is a lead we should not risk losing. So when testing new technologies we must be careful to be wary of foreign satellites over head.

European Airlines: Choice Is King

Are you planning to fly to or within Europe? If so, the competition amongst air carriers is red hot. This is good news for travelers looking for a bargain as choice is truly king.

Studying Wake Turbulence at Airports Using the Sun as Background

Airports are needing to study the wake turbulence of aircraft taking off at large airports to improve safety. Wake turbulence has caused many accidents between large aircraft and smaller ones literally turning the aircraft upside down and putting it into a death spiral.

Space Shuttle Night Launch Lighting for NASA

Generally we do not launch Space Shuttles at night, we have but not usually, yet we have the capacity to light up Cape Canaveral like a Christmas Tree and Florida Light and Power is not going to complain. I propose that we cut the lighting costs out of the pattern.

UAV

UAV stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, which is essentially an aircraft, which flies around without at pilot. There are large UAVs such as the Predator UAV, which is used for intelligence and surveillance.

What Happens When You Travel Faster Than Sound?

They will travel at subsonic speed for a while, and then accelerate rapidly until they have passed through and left the build up of sound behind them...

Aircraft Lighting System Fuel Saver

When flying a high-performance sleek aircraft often it is problematic getting the aircraft slowed down. Many super high performance aircraft and gliders have spoilers or speed brakes to help slow them down for landing by increasing drag.

Hot Air Balloon Flutter Lighting

When flying a hot air balloon, you must be prepared for anything and play it safe. You do not have the control in a lighter-than-air aircraft that you would in a normal airplane. It can be very dangerous indeed.

Vibrational Warning Lights for Jet Aircraft Engines

Today we have some of the most efficient, powerful and enduring jet engines ever in human history. Thanks to companies like General Electric, Rolls Royce and others we are flying more hours between overhauls by 500% of that nearly a decade earlier.

UAV Power Plant Issues

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Technology is the wave of the future for many things, not just military operations. We are using UAVs for border patrol, wildfire fighting, search and rescue and even atmospheric weather observation and scientific trend analysis. It is safe to say that UAVs will be around for a long time and the commercial applications are virtually unlimited.

Verbal Commands to Fly UAVs

Autonomous Artificial Intelligent Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is not a new concept, after all Sci Fi writers have been discussing it for years. We are truly getting closer to such technologies and it may become a reality sooner than we think. The next step for unmanned vehicles whether they be on the ground, air, sea or a combination of all three, will soon work on verbal commands.

Finding Cheap Airfare for Indian Travel

The land of myriad cultures, staunchly rooted in tradition, the habitat of millions of people belonging to varying religions and the country known for its distinguished history... India is a place worth visiting in the Asian continent.

Expandable, Inflatable, Extendable Wings In UAVs and Fighter Aircraft

A recent think thank has suggested a concept of using a concept of expandable, inflatable, extendable wings in UAVs and fighter Aircraft. In this concept it was debated whether aerodynamic current methodology and design would apply. Such a concept in fact would transcend many current and future technologies.
