The flight of NASA's Ingenuity helicopter is turning harder and harder.



Image I: Artist's impression of the Ingenuity helicopter flying over Mars. 

The helicopter that flies over the Martian hemisphere is a very impressive tool. It can operate in an atmosphere which density is less than 2% of Earth. In so low pressure even the smallest changes mean a lot of things. Today the pressure of the atmosphere of Mars is about 1% of the Earth's atmosphere because winter is coming to that planet. 

And that means the mission of that helicopter is turning more difficult. Soon the pressure is so low, that the rotors cannot rise that helicopter to flight. The same technology that is used in Integuinity can be used also for many other purposes. The high-flying helicopters can fly at 1% of the pressure of the sea level. Can be the next-generation tools for civil and military aviation. 

There is the possibility that the similar helicopters that the Integuinity are will use to rise the rocket which mission is to return the samples from the red planet to Earth to the launch position. And similar helicopters which are a little bit bigger can use to raise small rockets like Pegasus to the high atmosphere and launch them to Earth orbiter. That thing makes it possible to launch rockets without noise. The helicopter can rise to the high atmosphere even from the parking lot. And then it would just drop that rocket which starts its main engine.

Also, those high-flying helicopters can operate as surveillance platforms that are equipped with infrared and radar sensors. Those systems can also use things like gamma-cameras and other sensors to find out things like radioactive targets. Those helicopters can hover above a certain point of the ground. And they can follow the pollution, changes in ice and water level. They can offer communication services and replace part of the satellites if somewhere is needed extra-power for the data network. 

Those systems can also follow the growth of the plantations. And they can be big ammo over the battlefield. They can observe aircraft that are flying under them and give warnings about the troops. Also in some visions. Those systems can equip with lasers or some other type of weapons like EMP and neutron bombs. That means they could be the "aerial minefield". If somebody will try to flight across those helicopters, they might detonate their weapons. If the system uses the EMP warhead it can destroy things like drone swarms.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between  USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull.  The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
