Great New Zero Emissions Way to Fly

The United Kingdom's Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) is world famous for aviation innovation. Along with funding from the UK government and aviation partners like Airbus and Rolls Royce, it has developed a zero emissions plane concept designed to fly on liquid hydrogen.  Not only that.  It is designed to fly halfway around the world on liquid hydrogen without any refueling which amounts  to 6,037 miles.  This is the new Fly Zero concept plane and it is a look at the future of zero emissions flying.  It is part of a new world of flying with no pollution that the world is hoping for very soon.

Early Look at the Tech

The concept is a midsized aircraft powered totally by liquid hydrogen that can carry 279 passengers, nonstop from London to San Francisco or elsewhere within 6,037 miles. The new plane has a 177-foot wingspan with two turbofan engines powered by hydrogen.  There are no fuel tanks on the wings.  The cryogenic fuel tanks in the rear store hydrogen at -418 Fahrenheit degrees.  ATI says there will also be two additional, smaller tanks to store hydrogen in the front of the plane to maintain balance as the plane consumes the hydrogen fuel.  This concept plane promises to operate at speeds comparable to current jet aircraft.

More Info

UK's ATI believes that hydrogen powered planes like their concept will be deployed in the mid-2030's as much better fuel and cost-efficient alternatives to current jet fuel powered aircraft. They promise more analysis in 2022 on concepts for regional and narrowbody aircraft, potential primary market areas and more.  To take a look at many more aircraft concepts, go to https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B093J89VF5&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_0HKW12MPKQTADHSTPJTB

US Army Invention - Drone Defense Source:  US Army Drone Netting Device Drone Netting Grenade U.S Army researchers have created a 40 mm grenade to protect the armed forces from menacing, enemy or rogue drones.  The defensive drone grenade takes out the drone with a weighted net. Countermeasure - Net Bagging a Drone The net is spring loaded and ejects from the front of the grenade when it nears the drone target.  The net can be triggered remotely by a person on the ground or automatically by an onboard proximity sensor. Drone Defense The net springs open to 30 feet in diameter.  It traps the drone, causing it to fall to the ground.  Word of this new drone defensive technology has just been released.  For more news stories on important innovations, go to  amazon.com/author/ekane
