Photo: BoeingNASA is claiming a breakthrough in quiet supersonic aircraft, with successful wind tunnel tests of designs that combine low sonic boom and low cruise drag – characteristics once thought to be mutually exclusive. Continue reading
Harvard University Microrobotics Laboratory engineers have come up with a novel new approach to fabricating their micro robotic bees. Continue reading
Northrop Grumman Corporation has been selected by the Office of Naval Research to develop a new cost-effective atom-based magnetic sensor, or magnetometer, for antisubmarine warfare operations. Continue reading
NuWaves Engineering, an international Radio Frequency (RF) solutions company, has been selected to join the University of Dayton Research Institute’s Center for Unmanned Aerial System Exploitation (CUE) consortium. Continue reading
In December, MIT Media Lab researchers caused a stir by releasing a slow-motion video of a burst of light traveling the length of a plastic bottle. Continue reading
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative research proposals for technology supportive of Arctic situation awareness. Continue reading
Israel Aerospace Industries has unveiled the prototype of its “Butterfly” unmanned aircraft system, as part of an effort to develop covert miniature equipment for use by Special Forces personnel. Continue reading
Aircraft-carrier crews use a set of standard hand gestures to guide planes on the carrier deck. But as unmanned aircraft are increasingly used for routine air missions, researchers at MIT are working on a system that would enable them to follow the same types of gestures. Continue reading
