On today’s episode of “For Science!” we explore the concepts of Thrust, Lift, and Drag by conducting the ring airplane experiment. Cut the paper into 1 inch strips. Using two strips, tape them ...

The electric solar wind sail is a propulsion system that uses the solar wind proton flow as a source of momentum for spacecraft thrust. The momentum of the solar wind is transferred to the spacecraft ...

A new system called the EmDrive, a way of using electricity to generate thrust without the need for fuel, is one of those ideas that will generate a lot of heat and noise, but probably not a lot of ...

Engineers and scientists experimentally observe surface twisting in thrust faults that can momentarily rip open the earth's surface. It is a common trope in disaster movies: an earthquake strikes, ...

Latest entry in the VTOL (Vertical take-off and landing) competition is the Bell X-14, which achieves vertical flight in a horizontal flying attitude by means of a Venetian blind. The X-14 has two ...

India’s first indigenously designed and developed high-thrust cryogenic rocket engine generating a nominal thrust of 19 tonnes has been successfully endurance hot-tested for 800 seconds, ISRO said ...

Using supersonic shockwaves for combustion, the groundbreaking design could allow aircraft to travel up to six times the speed of sound. Reading time: Reading time 4 minutes Venus Aerospace is a ...

The author has no potential conflicts of interest, financial or otherwise, that would bias him in any way with regards to this work. You know, it’s odd being a rocket scientist. The people you meet ...

Outer space might be silent, but if planets could sing, their tunes could tell us a lot about how they formed. At least that’s the theory of UNLV researcher and astrophysicist Jason Steffen, who ...

Since 1911, the Collier Trophy has been given yearly, by a committee of U.S. aviation experts, to the man responsible for “the greatest achievement in aviation in America.” Past committees have ...

NEW DELHI: Controlling dangerously high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, making synthetic cells to build eco-friendly hydrogen fuel and addressing legal issues on genomics are the thrust ...
