established by National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics for the plane wing and later adapted for compressor blade design. This is not applicable for turbine sectionairfoils, primarily due to the high stress concentration at the respective blades’ leading edges that cannot be supported by sharp geom...
Boom Supersonic's XB-1 smashes the sound barrier — becoming the 1st civil aircraft to go supersonic in US history Boom Supersonic's next-generation XB-1 passenger plane 1 step away from breaking the sound barrier Latest Is the moon still geologically active? Evidence says it's possible ...
B)The plane will need outboard boosters (inefficient and expensive)C)The plane will need a set of additional engines to get it to altitude and speed (not in this concept, and would be inefficient due to added mass)Also, consider the landings. Naturally, the aircraft would be going slow...
HyperFlight speeds will be ten times those of traditional high-speed trains, and five times those of passenger aircraft, sources with CASIC said at the forum in Wuhan, capital of central China's Hubei Province. The HyperFlight program has three steps: first, a regional inter-city network with ...
In addition to faster air travel, the technology could also be used in rockets for space missions to make them lighter by requiring less fuel, travel farther and burn more cleanly. Detonation propulsion systems have been studied for more than half a century but had not been successful due to...
for the return to Oruro. Fortunately the imminent departure of the railcar to Potosi meant that the ticket window was manned. A 1967 Ferrostaal (Essen, Germany) built railcar, number 337 was scheduled to work the 10am Uyuni - Potosi service. At this point in time it had one passenger. ...

1. Introduction JAXA is investigating a design approach to a Mach 5 hypersonic passenger aircraft [1] (Figure 1), which could significantly reduce the flight time for intercontinental travel. The X-43A [2] flight experiment successfully demonstrated hypersonic flight with a scramjet engine. The fol...
