SR-71 and it's successors

SR-71 "Blackbird" is still officially the fastest aircraft in the world, but there is probably much better and more secretive aircraft, what is more, secure than this 60 years old veteran. The rumors say that in the world of intelligence have been transferred to use drones, and maybe SR-71's drone version is still operational. Today SR-71 is one of the most famous aircraft in the world, but in the early 1970's that aircraft was top secret.


When we are talking about drone versions of the recon planes, we must say that making those things is similar to making cruise missiles. The inertial navigation system can fly very complicated routes, and the system would work with the clock. The system operator would calculate the distance, what the aircraft would travel in the atmosphere, and then the computer would program to turn some direction by using some degrees.


As an example, the system can calculate to travel in some direction by using the speed of Mach 3 and then turn 20 degrees to the left. The thing what denies to hit to the ground is that the flight altitude would adjust higher than the tallest point on the ground. Actually, that aircraft could fly above normal air traffic. Then the GPS would deny taking the aircraft to control in the wrong airspace. If the aircraft would go too low the self-destruction would terminate it immediately.


The robot aircraft would give the very good option for intelligence because the pilot would not see the aircraft. And they would be told, that they are operating with some Predator-drones. The pilot is necessary only in the landing or taking off, but the modern computer technology can deny that problem, and the system can operate autonomous from the highly secured areas. Famous AREA-51 is not only a military area, what is used for those operations. The robot technology allows using self-destruction modules in those aircraft, and because there are no pilots on board, nobody ever notices, that those aircraft are missing.

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
