Long nonstop airline flights of 10 to 20 hours are not uncommon. As anybody who has done it can confirm, making these flights in economy class can be very unpleasant as well as dangerous (Thrombosis).
Magnetoreception (magnetoception) is a sense which allows an organism to detect a magnetic field to perceive location. Birds and fish use it. When humans are asked to walk North, they end up walking in circles.

Innovation: Boldcon Technologies introduces a new patent-pending concept that integrates fluid propulsing devices with enhanced heat exchanging mechanisms to increase heat rejection capabilities on heat exchanging devices. Referred as “Convectors,” the new devices are based on the clever utilization of “boundary layer disruption”
Blade fatigue, due to cavitation in rocket engine turbopumps, often triggers catastrophic system failures, costing insurers of space missions, launch vehicle operators and their customers billions of dollars every year. Next Planet Research’
Aboard the International Space Station astronauts experience a micro-gravity environment: the weight of humans and objects appears to be absent, thanks to the absence of stress and strain normally resulting from externally applied, mechanical contact-forces. This weightlessness has adverse effects on the human neural system, cardiovascular system,
The project is to design a gas turbine from type turbofan engine and the provision of jet fuel in the use of clean energy and renewable energy is hydrogen.
