New engine to power missiles to hypersonic speed

A new propulsion system that could lead to regular hypersonic flights has been unveiled.
That problem is efficiency at extreme speeds above Mach 5, five times the speed of sound or more than 6,174 km/h.
US aerospace companies GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin collaborated to show how a liquid-fuelled ramjet engine, that’s one with no moving parts, could be paired with a new tactical inlet.
While standard jet engines use spinning fan blades to squeeze air, a ramjet relies entirely on its own high-speed forward motion to "ram" air into the engine and compress it for combustion.
The new modified version combines traditional ramjet principles with a revolutionary way of burning fuel to reach speeds exceeding Mach 5.
It does this by injecting fuel and air into a ring-shaped chamber.
A powerful detonation is triggered and a shockwave travels in a circular path around the chamber.
As the shockwave circles, it continuously hits and ignites new fuel-air mixtures, creating a self-sustaining cycle of high-pressure waves thousands of times per second.
On January 14 this year GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin successfully completed a series of ground-based tests to validate the new propulsion unit called the Rotating Detonation Ramjet.
The demonstration was at the GE Aerospace Research Center in Niskayuna, New York.

Picture MUST credit: Lockheed Martin
A soldier with no pilot training has successfully guided a pilotless US military Black Hawk helicopter through a mission — by remote
control in a world first.
The soldier, a US Army National Guard sergeant, was able to independently plan, command and execute Black Hawk missions using a handheld tablet powered by a flight autonomy system called MATRIX.
He directed the payload to a location 130 km away and commanded multiple precision airborne drops.
The helicopter was a special version of a Black Hawk known as an OPV which stands for Optionally Piloted Vehicle.
It means the same aircraft can be operated in three modes depending on the mission requirements.
These are conventional manned flight with two pilots, reduced crew operation with one pilot or fully autonomous with no humans on board, functioning as a large drone.
The new marked the first time an OPR Black Hawk operated fully under the control of an actual warfighter, instead of a trained test pilot or engineer.
The mission was carried out by helicopter maker Sikorsky, a subsidiary of aerospace and defence company Lockheed Martin.
The test was in partnership with the USA’s Joint Personnel Recovery Agency and military research agency DARPA.
OPS: The soldier planned and controlled the mission using a computer tablet from Camp Grayling military base in Michigan , USA.

Image of a F-35 Lightning aircraft from 617 Squadron (Sqn) from RAF Marham, undergoing general post flight checks at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
The Sqn took part in Exercise RED FLAG 20-1, a premier multi-national combat training exercise which is conducted on the vast bombing ranges of the Nevada Test and Training Area. This is the first time that the UK's F35 Lightnings have taken part in Exercise RED FLAG which will see them flying alongside a variety of aircraft from other nations, providing aircrews the experience of multiple, intensive air combat sorties in the safety of a training environment to maximise combat readiness, capability and interoperability.
RAF Marham Station Commander, Group Captain Beck said "This is another first for the Lightning Force and will give the opportunity for our pilots to really put the F-35s to the test in a combat representative environment. This training is as near to high-end operational flying as our pilots can get in a controlled environment and will really test them and the teams that support the Squadron."
Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, is one of the largest fighter bases in the world. Aircraft from Nellis operate on the Nevada Test and Training Range, which offers more than 15,000 square miles of airspace and 4,700 square miles of restricted land, allowing them to conduct advanced combat training, performs operational test and evaluation, and develops tactics.
This image was one of 900 images submitted to this year’s RAF Photographic Competition and although not placed by the judges, it highlights the exceptionally high standard of work carried by RAF Photographers over the past year.© MOD Crown Copyright / eyevine

New designs for a lunar lander to help US space agency NASA put man back onto the Moon has been unveiled.NASA’s, longtime space contractor Lockheed Martin has sow design concepts with the aim of getting to the Moon by 2024The US company says it can be ready within the next five years — as long as it has enough resources. The vehicle consists of two elements a lander portion that can travel down to the ground, and an ascent vehicle that can lift astronauts off the Moon’s surface. The lander is meant to travel to and from a new space station that NASA wants to build around the Moon called the Gateway. If all of these elements are created, astronauts would travel to the Gateway from Earth and then take the lander from the station to the Moon. The ascent vehicle would then bring them back to the station.
OPS: Lockheed Martin's concept for a crewed lunar lander is a single stage, fully reusable system that incorporates many of Orion’s flight-proven technologies and systems. The lander would accommodate a crew of four and 2000 lbs. of payload on the surface for up to two weeks while returning to the Gateway without maintenance or refueling on the surface.

April 4, 2018 - United States: Illustration of NASA's new Low-Boom Flight Demonstration X-plane flying over land in the United States. Aeronautical innovations are part of a government-industry partnership to collect data that could make supersonic flight over land possible, dramatically reducing travel time in the United States or anywhere in the world. NASA's Low-boom Flight Demonstration mission has two goals: design and build a piloted, large-scale supersonic X-plane with technology that reduces the loudness of a sonic boom to that of a gentle thump; and fly the X-plane over select U.S. communities to gather data on human responses to the low-boom flights and deliver that data set to U.S. and international regulators. Using these data, new sound-based rules regarding supersonic flight over land could be developed, which would open the doors to new commercial cargo and passenger markets to provide faster-than-sound air travel.
