DIU is now seeking commercial materials and systems, such as for propulsion and alternative navigation, to test on its planned hypersonic test jet.

Under the current contract, the Leidos team has been granted a first funding tranche of $24 million to bring complete a digital system requirements review and a conceptual design review within 12 months. The team — which also includes Kratos, Calspan and Draper — is tasked with “designing and developing a large-class version that surpasses current air-breathing systems in range and payload capacity using digital engineering to ensure the design efforts help future development and transition,” the Dec. That said, he told Breaking Defense in a Jan. At the end of the 51-month contract, the team is to deliver the data “needed to design and prepare a production ready technical data package to produce prototypes,” the press release added.

A communique from the office of Government Spokesperson this evening said that at 5:03 pm. For several months now, Rwanda is accusing the neighbor from the West of perpetuating several acts of aggression, ranging from shelling into Rwanda’s territory and armed soldiers crossing into Rwanda trying to shoot border security officers. For the third time in three months, a fighter jet from the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC) has violated Rwanda’s airspace, a case which Rwanda called “continued aggression”.

A video shared widely on Congolese social media showed a projectile shooting toward an airborne military plane, before exploding in the air near the plane.

"Rwanda asks the DRC to stop this aggression," she said. local time, prompting the government to take defensive measures against it. Reuters could not immediately verify the video.

One definite advantage of the chosen technologies and materials is the flexibility of TPU as a substrate with integrated sensor modules, which is essential for use in aviation. This would allow data to be collected independently from the aircrafts' own resources and shared wirelessly by radio or Bluetooth. After the trial strips were successfully tested for their response to different mechanical and chemical influences by the industry partner Airbus Central C&T, the doors seem open for follow-up projects. By tracking environmental parameters and flow resistance in real time during flight, they can also optimize the fuel consumption of their [aircraft](https://techxplore.com/tags/aircraft/). To make current and future aircrafts more energy-efficient and use less jet fuel, the industry needs reliable data about the durability of materials and aerodynamics in actual flight. But realizing their true potential needs reliable measurements that can offer insights about how different materials behave and how stresses affect them down to the nanometer scale.

It’s remarkable that after so many years the MIT GTL lab is still very relevant to the fields of aeronautics, space, and automotive [research] and to all of the new and exciting horizons like electrification and clean energy.” “We continue on our voyage of discovery to learn the unknown.” “The challenges are different now compared to 75 years ago, but the way we do research and the way we collaborate has not changed. “They came from different backgrounds and had lots of good ideas to share and were always willing to help.” He remembers looking forward to the midmorning and midafternoon coffee breaks in the library. “It turns out that the USS Halibut, a Gato-class submarine, had run ashore and was decommissioned in New Hampshire in 1945. The ability, “developed at the GTL, to summarize and explain a complex topic in simple words has served me well in my career,” he states. “It was a real thrill, seeing the engine start up for the first time,” he remembers. Over the course of 75 years, the GTL, now housed in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, has been at the cutting edge of applied research. The GTL “is still going very strong, tackling new and different challenges,” Spakovszky says. [Zoltán Spakovszky](https://aeroastro.mit.edu/people/zoltan-s-spakovszky/), director of the MIT Gas Turbine Laboratory (GTL) and the T.A. Super-high-pressure ratio compressors for carbon sequestration and ultrashort aeroengine inlets to reduce fuel burn are examples of the many different industry-focused projects that the GTL has worked on. The group of luminaries concluded that due to the temperature limitations of existing materials, gas turbines did not have much of a future in propelling airplanes.

The Rwandan military shot at a fighter jet of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) on Tuesday which had “violated Rwanda's airspace.

[Anadolu Agency website contains only a portion of the news stories offered to subscribers in the AA News Broadcasting System (HAS), and in summarized form. It did not fly over Rwandan airspace.” “The DR Congo government strongly condemns and denounces the attack on its fighter plane by the Rwandan army in Congolese airspace and does not intend to let it go,” it said in a statement.

According to the NTSB, the employee had been briefed twice that the plane's engines were still running, moments before the fatal incident in December.

A second safety “huddle” was held shortly before the airplane arrived at the gate, to reiterate that the engines would remain running until ground power was connected. “The ground crew reported that a safety briefing was held about 10 minutes before the airplane arrived at the gate. As a result, the pilots elected to leave the small airliner’s jet engines running until the plane was connected to ground power.

A ground worker at an Alabama airport died last month after they got too close to the engine of an American Eagle jet.

The co-worker "heard a 'bang'" before the engine shut down, the report said. The pilots described feeling the plane "shake violently." The pilots alerted airport workers about leaving the engines on.

Alabama crew had 'safety huddle' about how to move around the plane and employee who was killed received warning to stay back.

was away from her family working on New Year’s Eve making sure passengers go to where they needed to be for the holidays,” the union statement said. Edwards was a ground handling agent for Piedmont Airlines, a subsidiary of American Airlines. But, according to the local news website The American Eagle manual warns ground crew to stay at least 15ft back from the front of an engine until its blades stop spinning. The employee was sucked into the engine and killed, investigators said. According to the report, the pilots of the plane alerted airport workers that the engines would stay on for a time.

A ground worker at an Alabama airport died last month after they got too close to the engine of an American Eagle jet.

The co-worker "heard a 'bang'" before the engine shut down, the report said. The pilots described feeling the plane "shake violently." The pilots alerted airport workers about leaving the engines on. The employee who died was also warned by a co-worker who, at one point, saw them get nearly knocked over by the exhaust from the jet and told them to stay back, the report said. They did this because an auxiliary power unit on board wasn't working, and they needed the engines to stay on until the plane could be linked to ground power, the report said. - The employee was warned multiple times not to go near the engine, federal officials said.
