In efforts to advance this space exploration, NASA has partnered with Blue Origin to develop solar systems from the Moon’s regolith. Blue Origin, the private aerospace manufacturer founded by billionaire entrepreneur Jeff Bezos, has become NASA’S key partner in its […]
Read MoreAir-breathing hypersonic power plants, also known as scramjet engines, are designed to operate at extremely high speeds, typically in the hypersonic regime i.e; Mach 5 and above. These air-breathing scramjet engines are generally fighter-jet engine-seized. Engineers and researchers have been working on innovative designs to reduce the size of scramjet engines. The goal is to […]
Read MoreUnder NASA’s Sustainable Flight Demonstrator project, NASA and Boeing have together developed the U.S. Air Force-designated X-66A, an experimental aircraft whose purpose is to introduce the design of more durable single-aisle aircraft, which are common in passenger airlines all over the world. To make the project a reality, NASA will invest $425 million over seven […]
