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.

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger. The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth. It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons. It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

Research with hypersonic systems is not an easy thing.

"This is an artist’s depiction of a Hyper-X research vehicle under scramjet power in free-flight following separation from its booster rocket. New research into hypersonic jets may transform space travel by making scramjet engines more reliable and efficient, leading to aircraft-like spacecraft. Credit: NASA" (ScitechDaily, Revolution at Mach 10: NASA-Backed Hypersonic Jets Poised to Transform Space Travel) The main problem with hypersonic systems is how to control them on air. If the hypersonic aircraft's body is designed the wrong way, that causes thermal problems. But another problem is this: if the aircraft's shape is wrong, the pressure wave or sonic boom will go past the control surfaces. And those layers will not work in that case. In other cases, if the shockwave nuzzles against the aircraft body, that causes overheating. The next problem is the engine. The Scramjet engine is the only engine type that can use atmospheric air and create hypersonic exhaust gas....

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field. An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate. AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru...
