  • H1X is an eVTOL, an all-electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle
  • 2-seat personal aircraft
  • Unique tandem wing configuration with the propellers built into the wing
  • 4 ducted fans provide lift and forward propulsion
  • Top speed is 120 mph
  • Range of 40 miles; up to 45 minutes flight time
  • Can takeoff from a driveway and fit in a 2-car garage
  • Intelligent, autonomous navigation system
  • Controlled by a joystick and semi-autonomous flying
  • Company working with FAA on full certification, likely as an ultralight aircraft
  • Already cleared by the FAA for flightworthiness
  • First customers could get their H1X's in 2025
  • Goes into mass production in 2026

  • NASA has spotted and documented a bizarre chain of clouds linked to UFO reports over the Florida Keys.   Here's what we know:
  • Cloud chain spotted northwest of the Florida Keys
  • Clouds shaped like UFOs
  • Ironically clouds also linked to UFO sightings
  • So unusual NASA posted the images
  • Most likely they were Cavum clouds or hole punch clouds
  • Fairly rare occurrence formed when planes fly over small, patchy clouds between 7,000 and 23,000 feet
  • The water vapor in the clouds is supercooled but not to the point of ice
  • Incredible sight
  • Scientists are using advanced satellite imagery, weather modelling and flight patterns to determine if it was a natural or other-worldly phenomenon, but likely culprit is Cavum clouds not UFO's.

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
