NEWS - Utah: Feuerprobe für einen neuen Raketenträger der NASA
June 28, 2016 - Promontory, UT, United States of America - Guests watch smoke and flames rise during the second and final qualification motor test for the Space Launch System booster rocket at Orbital ATK Propulsion Systems test facilities June 28, 2016 in Promontory, Utah. During the Space Launch System flight the boosters will provide more than 75 percent of the thrust needed to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth, the first step on NASAs Journey to Mars (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

FEATURE - Airbus enthüllt revolutionäres 'Blended Wing'-Flugzeugdesign
Aircraft giant Airbus has revealed a new advanced wing design which it claims could cut carbon emissions by 20 per cent.
The aircraft manufacturer rolled out a model of the small-scale, remote-controlled aircraft demonstrator it's been using to test the design at the Singapore Air Show 2020 on Tuesday (11Feb20).
The "blended wing body" demonstrator called Maveric - which stands for Model Aircraft for Validation and Experimentation of Robust Innovative Controls - measures two meters long and 3.2 meters wide.
Testing has reportedly been underway since June 2019 but the project, which launched in 2017, was kept under wraps until this month.
The concept of a 'blended wing body' design has been around since the 1940s and led to the U.S. B-2 bomber, as well as the X-48 research project between Boeing and NASA a decade ago.
Such aircraft are complex to control but produce less aerodynamic drag, making them more efficient to fly.
Planemakers are revisiting such designs as the passenger jet industry tries to commit to more environmentally friendly aircraft.
"We believe it is high time now to push this technology further and study what it brings to us,' Jean-Brice Dumont, executive vice-president of engineering at Airbus, told reporters.
"We need these disruptive technologies to meet our environmental challenge. It is the next generation of aircraft; we are studying an option."
He said it was too early to say whether such shapes could contribute to the next generation of medium-haul planes, expected in the 2030s.
The “blended wing body” configuration also opens up new possibilities for propulsion systems type and integration, as well as a versatile cabin for a totally new on-board passenger experience.

The concept of a 'blended wing body' design has been around since the 1940s and led to the U.S. B-2 bomber, as well as the X-48 research project between Boeing and NASA a decade ago.
Such aircraft are complex to control but produce less aerodynamic drag, making them more efficient to fly.
Planemakers are revisiting such designs as the passenger jet industry tries to commit to more environmentally friendly aircraft.
"We believe it is high time now to push this technology further and study what it brings to us,' Jean-Brice Dumont, executive vice-president of engineering at Airbus, told reporters.
"We need these disruptive technologies to meet our environmental challenge. It is the next generation of aircraft; we are studying an option."
He said it was too early to say whether such shapes could contribute to the next generation of medium-haul planes, expected in the 2030s.
The “blended wing body” configuration also opens up new possibilities for propulsion systems type and integration, as well as a versatile cabin for a totally new on-board passenger experience.

FEATURE - 15mal stärker als Stahl: "unzerstörbare" Steppjacke aus Dyneema-Fasern
A Dutch brand have created the world's strongest puffer jacket - and it's an incredible 15 times stronger than steel.
Dubbed The Indestructible Puffer by clothing concept company Vollebak, the jacket is made from Dyneema, the world’s strongest fibre. In fact the fibre used is so strong that it's been used as body armour, anti-ballistic vehicle armour, mooring systems for giant container ships, and in the ropes used to tie down oil rigs in chaotic seas.
The Indestructible Puffer can withstand temperatures as low as 140 degrees Fahrenheit. As the temperature drops, the jacket goes into Hulk mode, gaining strength as it gets colder. During extreme winter conditions, the jacket has proven to gain 5-10% strength when the temperature drops past -50C.
"Most puffer jackets are built to be as light as possible, so the outsides are typically made from super lightweight polyester and nylon,’ explains Vollebak co-founder, Steve Tidal.
"The trade-off for this weight saving is that they are incredibly easy to tear and snag and once you have a rip, or the seams have started to go, or the tiny spines of down have poked their way through the lightweight outer layer, it’s simply an escape hatch for the feathers inside, and the jackets destroy themselves from the inside out."
Inside Vollebak opted for the recycling route. They utilised plastic bottles, transforming them into insulating synthetic fibres. Power-packed with around 30 half-litre recycled bottles, each Indestructible Puffer promises to keep you warm in the iciest of situations.
Styled with a two-way front zipper, fleece-lined pockets, and two invisible chest pockets, the puffer reaches another level of heavy-duty with military-grade wrist belt tapes, a storm flap, and Cordura-built adjusters.
The Indestructible Puffer is designed to outlive the owner and be in good enough condition to pass down generations.
The jacket retails at £795 and comes in sizes ranging from XS-XXL and is only available t
