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.

The next breakthrough for Cyber Command’s Unified Platform program will be a fully built software factory, a platform for consolidating applications and inventing new tools. This will help integrate and deploy analytical capabilities for the cyber mission force. 

Besides consolidating, the platform will standardize the variety of big data tools used by Cyber Command and its subordinate organizations, including the Defense Information Systems Agency. The common platform will allow organizations to easily share information and build tools that can be used across the service cyber components leading to greater interoperability.

Trends that will redefine banking

Banking organizations become more comfortable with a faster pace of innovation, using data and analytics more extensively. Digitization drives banks to be more innovative in targeting, expanding services, re-configuring delivery channels, and integrating payments.

Connected cars are not too far away from being introduced. There will come a day where the people can simply sit in a car and drive off, instead of setting the temperature, seats, batteries, as everything would be automatic. 

The cars would be autonomous and make a steady approach to the destination the driver prefers. After reaching the destination, the car would park itself in the prearranged parking location, which includes a wireless inductive charger.

A Guide to adopting Blockchain Technology

#Blockchain is a popular solution for storing digital information securely. The adoption of this technology has doubled in 2018 compared to last year; governments and companies have spent $2.1 billion on blockchain this year according to the International Data Corporation, a provider of market intelligence and advisory services.
