Engineers fly first-ever plane with no moving parts

Since the first airplane took flight over 100 years ago, virtually every aircraft in the sky has flown with the help of moving parts such as propellers, turbine blades, and fans, which are powered by the combustion of fossil fuels or by battery packs that produce a persistent, whining buzz.

Now MIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever plane with no moving parts. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an “ionic wind” – a silent but mighty flow of ions that is produced aboard the plane, and that generates enough thrust to propel the plane over a sustained, steady flight.

Unlike turbine-powered planes, the aircraft does not depend on fossil fuels to fly. And unlike propeller-driven drones, the new design is completely silent.

“This is the first-ever sustained flight of a plane with no moving parts in the propulsion system,” says Steven Barrett, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. “This has potentially opened new and unexplored possibilities for aircraft which are quieter, mechanically simpler, and do not emit combustion emissions.”

He expects that in the near-term, such ion wind propulsion systems could be used to fly less noisy drones. Further out, he envisions ion propulsion paired with more conventional combustion systems to create more fuel-efficient, hybrid passenger planes and other large aircraft.

Barrett and his team at MIT have published their results in the journal Nature.

At the intersection of IoT and Web Development and Designing

The advent of recent technologies has helped the enterprises to meet the dynamic demands of their customers. One of the technologies which have helped the workforce immensely across all the industries is the Internet of Things (IoT).

IoT, a network of interconnected devices, is based on the standard communication protocol. Traditional technologies like Radio frequency identifiers (RFID), sensors, bar codes, Global positioning systems (GPS), and many others are integrated into applications that use IoT.

At The Intersection Of IoT And Web Development And Designing

IoT has been helping the companies to provide a more customized service to their customers. It also allows its users to have remote control over their home appliances. Internet of Things has left an effective impact on web development and designing also.

Web development service providers use a lot of frameworks to complete web development efficiently. Web development and designing stumble upon intricacies if IoT is an element of the application. Companies need to onboard an appropriate talent for web development projects.

There are numerous IoT devices today that can display web content apart from the laptops and mobile phones. Smart watches can display web content. Android watches have a web browser for android wearable. AI-driven Apple’s Siri, Google’s Now, Microsoft’s Cortana, and Amazon’s Alexa have already charted popularity. IoT can help the web applications to access the bots and subsequently read the information instead of merely displaying it.

Internet of Things also has its impact on web designing. Businesses have started focusing on designing a website that can respond to personalized data from web-enabled devices. The user activities can also operate and control IoT devices.

Most of the companies are looking to improve their communication with customers, and they are also working on eliminating any security flaws. Internet of Things can help the companies to achieve those targets.
