The new shapes and new materials are revolution in aerospace technology.

The X-59 Qesst (Quiet SuperSonic Technology) means a new shape for supersonic and hypersonic aviation. This type of system is extremely streamlined. And that makes it very thin and gentle pressure waves. Those pressure waves travel as long as possible before they hit to ground. And that means those pressure waves can deliver as much energy as possible before they reach the ground. 

That technology is useful in both, super- and hypersonic bodies. The silent supersonic and hypersonic systems can revolutionize things like civil and military aviation, and if those turbines use hydrogen, they will not cause emissions. The same thing that makes those next-generation systems quiet makes them hard to detect. 






The new materials decrease the aircraft's weight and radar signatures. 


New materials like nano-printed titanium have also revolutionized aviation. That new material is 50% stronger than aerospace titanium. The nano-titanium has better thermal abilities than regular, or homogenous titanium. It's possible that in that structure there are things like fullerene or some very cold particles that pull thermal energy in out from the main structure. 

In some models, engineers can put things like electronegative particles like protons (hydrogen ions) in that structure. The idea is that when radio waves hit to outer shell, that electronegative structure pulls those radiowaves inside this material structure. Engineers can cover the outer shell of aircraft with very thin structures like nanonet which is a very lightweight composite metal-graphene combination. It's possible that in that structure are small nano-balls that roll when the aircraft moves through the air.

The new metamaterials are the tools that make incredible things. The difference between those new metamaterials and traditional materials is that metamaterials or nanotechnical materials are created atom by atom. The chimeric materials  EM. radiation can jump into the structure that pulls it into itself. 

If an aircraft can transport thermal energy out from its body.  That will make the revolution for hypersonic technology. The biggest problem in high-speed flight is friction. This aircraft must remove this temperature or its structures will melt. 

The simplest way to transport heat out from the aircraft's body that decreases its temperature is to make ram-air travel between layers. That air will decrease the aircraft's temperature. But things like active thermal pumps can also make it possible to reach a speed, that is higher than before. 

That kind of material must deliver that stored energy somewhere. So, there can be some kind of thermal pump that transfers energy out of the structure. That thermal pump can be the laser ray or some kind of ion beam that travels in the plane. This thing should make radiation travel in one direction in the aircraft's body. 

That makes the aircraft more resistant to thermal effects. If an aircraft can remove the thermal effect from its body, that allows it to increase its speed. And that will be a breakthrough in the hypersonic technology.

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 armor has
