Almost all entry-level physics courses, and even some well into a degree program, will have the student make some assumptions in order to avoid some complex topics later on. Most …read more Continue reading Remote-Controlled Hypercar Slices Through Air
We at Hackaday are great fans of hands-on classroom projects promoting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects – after all, inspiring kids with technology at a young age will …read more Continue reading Optimize Your Paper Planes With This Cardboard Wind Tunnel
Following the development and rollout of a “big hole” hybrid three-wheeled scooter for police and emergency services, UK-based R&D outfit White Motorcycle Concepts has teamed up with Mahle Powertrain to produce a fully electric version.Continue Reading… Continue reading WMC and Mahle partner for electric “big hole” three-wheel police scooter
When you burn as much fuel as an airline does, a single-digit fuel efficiency tweak adds up to massive savings. Take the drag-reducing Aeroshark film Swiss Airlines has stuck all over its 12 Boeing 777s – it delivers a 1% efficiency gain, and as a resu… Continue reading Boeing to build braced-wing airliner, shooting for 30% efficiency gain
Blainjett’s fascinating hemispheric rotor concept is a totally unique and left-field approach to VTOL flight. The company (no relation to me, for the record!) came up with the bones of the idea while working on the Horizon eVTOL hoverbike, which we cov… Continue reading Blainjett’s hemi-rotor concept promises unprecedented VTOL performance
The fastest ground vehicles on earth are not driven by their wheels but by an aircraft jet engine. At world record speeds, they run on an aerodynamic razor’s edge between …read more Continue reading High-Speed RC Car Needs A Flight Controller
AGV’s ultra-lightweight Sportmodular helmet is still my all-time favorite flip-face brain bucket, and the company has backed it up with a more affordable Tourmodular lid focused on longer rides, with the option to add an integrated Cardo comms unit.Con… Continue reading AGV Tourmodular flip-face helmet has zero dynamic weight on the highway
The Celera 500L is a truly remarkable design. Otto Aviation says its odd shape delivers an astonishing 59 percent reduction in drag, and a massive leap in efficiency and range compared to traditional plane geometries. Arguably, this thing should’ve bee… Continue reading World’s most efficient passenger plane gets hydrogen powertrain

Airbus is moving ahead with its vision of aircraft with active wing control, following successful wind tunnel tests at its facility near Bristol, England. The company is working to mimic the behavior of bird flight with wings that adapt their shape on … Continue reading Airbus hits the wind tunnel to pursue bird-inspired active wing control
