"White knight" launch vehicle and its modification to the nuclear power aircraft could revolutionize many things in aviation. New forms of nuclear-powered aircraft would be already in production. Those things are unseen, and the technology, what is used is actually basing the RTG (Radio Thermal Generator), what is the so-called nuclear battery, what has given power to the spacecraft like Voyager-probes and other deep space exploration vehicles. Those nuclear-powered drones could be quite similar, with  Rutan's "White Knight" launch vehicle, what have been operated with X-37B.


This unmanned space launch system can be easy to modify the nuclear-powered vehicle, by installing the RTG:s and electric motors with propels to that vehicle. Those vehicles could fly extremely high altitude, and they can also carry cruise missiles under their fuselage. Those high flying unmanned platforms can operate even years in the atmosphere, and they can also be armed with nuclear warheads. Those systems can also operate with ASAT (Anti Satellite) missions, and they can carry anti-satellite missiles, and they are very hard to find and destroy.


Those small size motherships can also be used in other kinds of military purposes like shooting normal combat missiles like Harpoons and SLAM (Stand-Off Land Attack Missile) missiles. They are of course very easy to destroy if they can be located first, but the flight altitude of those systems can be over 20 kilometers. The record of electric motor powered aircraft is about 30 kilometers, and it was made by solar-powered  Helios aircraft. And there are rumors that also "Predator" drones are transformed to use RTG:s. Those motor systems can be only the RTG:s, where is connected the electric motors and those killer drones operate in the global area and strike without warning. The nuclear-powered aircraft are not addicted to sunlight.


There are study plans for creating the electric engine aircraft what bases the Helios, that uses the capillary tube to rotate the generators, what gives electric power to motors. But the aircraft is still in the drawing stage. The benefit of electric engined aircraft is, that those vehicles leave the very low infrared signature, and they can be produced by using STEALTH-technology, and that's why they are actually quite hard to find.

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
