A Ground Assisted Orbital Launch System

Introduction:

Calculations based on NASA's 'Simu' programs show that a single stage to semi-synchronous equatorial orbit, SSEO, with a 100% re-useable craft, propelled by clean, supercooled maglev launch boost, hydrogen/air turbojets, and hydrogen/air rockets, is feasible with a solar powered manufactory generating energy, and condensing, distilling, and storing, propulsion and cooling gases from the atmosphere.

A Simple Sensor for Detection of Ground from Water

There are a lot of data and papers describing how the presence of water is problematic in remote sensing. We use this problem as the source of information.

Application

An indication of surface information (water/soil) helps these in these three applications:

Amphibious seaplanes are easily wrecked when landing on water with wheel landing gear down.

A Tail-Wagger Airplane

The illustrated airplane tail surface combines articulation and side shift, providing adjustable, on-the-go variable longitudinal control for straight in-runway landings. There is no more correction from flight configuration to ground travel.

Pilots must exercise greater skill and caution in crosswind landings to transition from flight to a landing configuration. Imagine, however,

AeroFeathers: 3D Printed Airfoils Inspired by the Quiet Flight of Owls

Excessive fan noise is prevalent everywhere, from noisy aircraft engines to annoying vacuum cleaners. The rise of drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has contributed to this issue, particularly in cities, due to their constant humming. The incessant fan noise of drones can cause considerable nuisance and stress, contributing to noise pollution. This, in turn,

Air Ionization in Air Breathing Plasma Thruster

Currently, air-breathing electric propulsion ramjet configurations are considered worldwide. However, configurations with air scoops suffer from significant momentum losses due to air collimation and drag. One idea that was proposed a few years ago and requires further development is a direct scramjet configuration that can significantly reduce drag. In this case, full ionization of atmospheric molecules is required.
