Advances in supercomputing technology during the past 20 years are one of multiple reasons that the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is confident that it can succeed in its Control of Revolutionary Aircraft with Novel Effectors (CRANE) active flow control (AFC) programme.

California-based Aptera recently opened pre-orders for its solar electric vehicle that ânever needs chargingâ and within less than 24 hours, according to the firm, the $26,000 car sold out.
The futuristic-styled structure is designed with lightweight materials, providing low-dray aerodynamics and cooling.
Apteraâs Never Charge technology is comprised of an integrate solar package that provides more than 40 miles of âfreeâ driving per day âmaking it the first vehicle that wonât need to fuel up for most daily driving.â
âWhat our technology does is it improves range and lowers vehicle cost,â Campbell said. âItâs as simple as that.â
As the name of his company suggests, Campbell thinks the key is a more-solid electric car battery. The lithium-ion batteries powering almost all of todayâs electric vehicles rely on a liquid electrolyte, which ferries charged ions from a cathode to an anode. While the technology makes it practical to charge and recharge, the liquid can catch fire if overloaded.
For decades, scientists have seen a potential answer in solid electrolytes, which could allow a battery to soak up more energy without overheating.
Hereâs our best hope for hypersonic flight yet: the sodramjet.
A Chinese-made âsodramjetâ engine has reached nine times the speed of sound in a wind tunnel test. The engine could power an aircraft to reach anywhere in the world within two hours, the makers say.

Electric cars from Toyota are coming! đ
Toyota may have mastered the art of the solid-state battery. Get the details in here.
Circa 2019
The average car features up to 60 pounds of copper wiring, but researchers are looking to reduce some of that weight. Combing aluminum with carbon nanotubes could be the solution, those researchers believe. The nanotubes reportedly add strength and conductivity to lightweight aluminum.
This may come in handy if you live in a traffic riddled city. đ
This is Triggo, a lightweight and fully-electric micro car that has an innovative suspension design that enables its front wheels to retract and allow the driver easily pass through traffic jams just like a motorcycle.
During Battery Day, Tesla unveiled a number of advances that will further enhance the companyâs electric vehicles, lower their cost, and dramatically improve the ownership experience. One very important improvement is silicon, which the company will use in the anode of the battery cell. Tesla silicon opens the door to.
A new report suggests that Toyota is going to unveil an electric car with a new solid-state battery that enables 10-minute fast-charging capacity next year.
Toyota started working on solid-state batteries back in 2017 with plans to commercialize the batteries inside electric vehicles in the early 2020s.
