Using inexpensive parts to build your own drone is a great idea, but the elements are capable of tearing your machine to bits, if they feel so inclined. This is why Ran D. St. Clair, an electronics engineer based in … Continue reading →

Holy Cow! I am flat out amazed! Y’all, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has built an airplane that flies with no—repeat, no—moving parts. Before you laugh and scoff, just remember that’s MIT—an organization that deserves and commands respect. That didn’t … Continue reading →

“People tend to ascribe more capabilities to them than they really have, and people say, oh, they have 3D printers now that will print in metal, at precisions of 1/1000th of an inch,” he said. “With those, yeah, you can … Continue reading →

What if powered mechanical flight didn’t require all the normal trappings of aircraft? That is, a flight that does not need big heavy jet engines to get a plane off the ground, or tons of octane to power this propulsion? … Continue reading →

The work was also contributed to by many undergraduate students from 2010–2018 as part of MIT’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), as part of MIT’s Minority Students Research Program (MSRP), or as part of MIT’s summer research exchange program with … Continue reading →

United Technologies plans to split into three separate companies, the industrial giant said on Monday. The breakup, to be completed by 2020, signals a shift away from a kitchen-sink approach to industrial manufacturing in favor of generating returns by specializing … Continue reading →

The first ever “solid state” plane, with no moving parts in its propulsion system, has successfully flown for a distance of 60 metres, proving that heavier-than-air flight is possible without jets or propellers. The flight represents a breakthrough in “ionic … Continue reading →
