Difficulties in making the fastest aircraft in the world

SR-71 "Blackbird" is the fastest known aircraft in the world. Making ultra-fast aircraft is not easy, because the heat in the atmospheric fly is very high, and that's why that very fast aircraft must rise above the tight layers of the atmosphere. The friction is the very bad problem, and that's why those aircraft must equip with the carbon fiber core, what would stand the extreme heat and pressure without melting. But the raise above the tight layers of the air would cause the problems because the jet motors cannot get enough air, and that's why the power of those machines would decrease.


One solution would pump the oxygen to the turbines from the liquid oxygen tanks, but that would cause decreasing the payload of that aircraft. And also oxygen tanks would decrease the flight time. So there must create the solution, what allows the motor to get tight air in the inlet, and the best way to act would be to design the aircraft that way, that the pressure wave, what would come from the nose of the aircraft would hit straight to the air inlet of the motor.


That would bring the tight air to the motor, and increase the altitude for all motors from turbojets and ramjets to flap ramjets and scramjets. The high speed would also increase the mass of incoming air to the motors. And that's why SR-71 got higher altitude than the U-2 spy plane. The SR-71 was withdrawn from the duty because of USAF afraid that the secret technology, what was used in that plane would go to the hands of Russians. But legend remains, and maybe the successor of the SR-71 is operational in somewhere inside the top-secret world of military intelligence.

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems.  There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool.   Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-

Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.

  "ZEROe teams powered on the iron pod, the future hydrogen-propulsion system designed for Airbus’ electric concept aircraft." (Intersting Engineering, Airbus's ZEROe: First engine fuel cell powers up for hydrogen flight) Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.  Airbus Zero is a testbed for fuel cells that are used in commercial aircraft. The problem with aircraft is always noise and pollution. If the aircraft uses electric engines. That decreases noise levels and cleans the air, especially around airfields. Lightweight solar panels that can be installed on the wings and body of aircraft can give electricity to electric engines. And they can extend an aircraft's operational range.   The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that the "flying cars" or cheap VTOL aircraft can use them as a power source. The hydrogen power cells can give energy to electric aircraft at night time. And that makes them m
