Airbus's BLADE - Breakthrough Laminar Aircraft Demonstrator in Europe

Another leap forward towards cleaner and more fuel-efficient aviation this Airbus A340 took off from Toulouse, on a beautiful fall day on its first test flight with totally newly designed wings that could eventually revolutionise air travel the project called blade.

It is a European Union backed program to find ways of making flying even cleaner engineers from Airbus and its partners have been huddled together since 2008 developing the new wings called laminar wings similar to what you get on gliders to reduce wind drag.

Owl - The Silent Flier

You might not have noticed the difference but scientists did! A group of scientists carried out an experiment to scientifically notice the phenomenon of an owl's flight. A comparison is carried out between three different birds namely a pigeon, a peregrine falcon and finally the main participant a barn owl. And to be noted the results are significant!

That was pretty good comparative flight. Did you hear anything while the barn owl flew? No, nothing at all, Absolutely quiet. It's amazing. But what have the microphones picked up?

DARthVader - The Aero Cat

DARth Vader realistically is a adorable cat with a specific job in DARcorporation (Design, Analysis and Research Corporation) , an aeronautical engineering firm. He typically has three impressive job roles in the leading company. 

DARth Vader is respectively DARcorporation's office mascot, ambassador and protector. For beginners a official mascot represent any person, animal, or object thought to bring luck, or

Mesmerising Radial Engine Assembly Animation

Radial engine was first invented in the year 1901. Earlier airplane engines used to be powered by these radial engines, nowadays a very few airplanes are associated with these engines. But have you ever imagined the number of components in it? Dan Cabral a Product Design Engineer has given a modern touch to this retro beauty. Watch this mesmerising "Radial Engine Assembly Animation".

Friends! Recently, the launch of CRew Dragon was made and it was wonderful. I am glad that there are still people like Elon Musk on Earth . They don't buy luxury Islands, but invest their money in science, and that's great. This time I decided to make a note about cosmic speeds. You can easily prove the formula for the first cosmic velocity. It is a little more difficult to prove the Tsiolkovsky formula, which directly follows from the Meshchersky equation. And the most unusual thing is the fourth cosmic speed to leave our milky way galaxy. What do you know about space speeds? Write Your response in the comments.

Inflatable Wings - The compact future of airplanes

Long wide-spanned wings will be long gone one day in the mere future! Wonder how? Do you know the "Largest aircraft by wingspan" is held by "STRATOLAUNCH", and the wing span is about "117.35 METRE(S)". If are imagining how long it is? Let me help you, its longer than the 100 metre athletic strip which took Usian Bolt around 9.58 seconds to cross.

The wing of a conventional airplane is typically lesser than 100 metres but still it is considerably bigger. Imagine yourself walking through the pathway or lane with your hands wide spread, I'm certain it would cause unimaginable hindrance. This enlarged wingspan makes the handling of airplanes tougher, as they require greater clearance and a huge hanger.

So is there any kind technology which helps reduce the wingspan?

Indian Air Defence A Trillion Dollar Business - Rafale Vs F21

It is really mesmerising to perceive the exact figures involved in Indian Air defence, if you don't know its generally in "Billions". The currently planned budget for buying fighter advanced foreign jets is around 15 billion US dollars, which is approximately ₹ 1,139,355,000,000 in Indian Rupees.

Are you really trying figuring out a proper way to typically pronounce it? Let me make it easy for you it's around ₹ 1.14 trillion Indian Rupees (A thousand billion make a trillion) or in other terms can be termed as ₹ 1.14 lakh crore (Approximately).

THE HIDDEN FACE – Exploring the far side of moon

The moon has been our neighbour for ages, explorations are being conducted for decades. Every question invariably leads to a remarkable discovery, vice versa every discovery leads to a question. Planetary observers doubted the appearance of the moon since they were able to see only the near side of the moon every time, have you ever noticed it? If not peep through your window to instantly start observing!

This profound mystery remained unsolved till the soviets properly captured the first iconic photo by their Luna 3 space probe. But this didn’t put a full stop to the eternal quest! Still several questions were raised and numerous concepts were required to explain them. Willingly let’s take a trip around those fundamental questions and key concepts...

Dancing Wing - A fun integrated scientific experimentation of morphing wing concept

The best way to establish an engaging research is to seamlessly integrate gentle fun into scientific experimentation. Literally, who doesn't like to have fun? When you properly integrate fun activities into laboratory experiments, you naturally get a more extensive reach of your innovative ideas.

It typically makes the technicalities simplified which helps everyone to intuitively understand the fundamental objective and paramount importance of your dedicated research. In-turn you undoubtedly gain a heartier moral support from your social community which means a lot in modern research. Technically defining:

"A morphing wing can be defined as one which has the ability to either alter its shape in a continuous change along the chord or spar or to change its shape in a drastic manner."

GE9X - The Propulsive Beast

Earlier horses used to pull the cart, but in this modern age of engineering engines typically perform in practical terms of horse power for propelling the associated vehicle.Realistically be it a motorcycle or a powered aircraft, both are powered/propelled by engines? But what's special in the engines used by aviation industry?

If you have instantly guessed it to be the difference in power delivered (i.e. propulsive power) , you have guessed it right! But how much notable difference in common is it?
