In a remarkable stride toward sustainable transportation, the U.S.-based company Regent Craft has unveiled the inaugural prototype of its Viceroy seaglider, a groundbreaking vehicle poised to redefine coastal mobility. This innovative craft, capable of floating, foiling, or skimming just above the water’s surface, boasts a wingspan of nearly 20 meters, positioning it as one of the most expansive all-electric aerial vehicles ever constructed.
Researchers at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FSB) at the University of Zagreb, in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), are developing an innovative drone designed to transform Mars exploration.
Boom Supersonic, a pioneering aerospace company, is setting new benchmarks in aviation history with its revolutionary supersonic aircraft, the XB-1. Following its historic first test, the XB-1 soared through the skies again on February 1, marking another major milestone in the journey to revive commercial supersonic travel. The aircraft first shattered the sound barrier during its January test flight and subsequently achieved supersonic speeds three more times during its latest mission.
China is accelerating its ambitious lunar exploration agenda with the Chang’e-7 mission, set for launch in 2026. This mission is a crucial step in China’s broader vision of establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon by the 2030s.
Boom Supersonic’s experimental aircraft, the XB-1, has officially broken the sound barrier, marking a major advancement in supersonic aviation technology and bringing commercial supersonic travel one step closer to reality.
Usually, when one thinks of an airplane, a huge tubular structure with wings and a tail attached comes to mind. It’s no secret that this traditional superstructure doesn’t generate much lift, despite the number of passengers or cargo it can carry. Of course, alternative designs have been developed for these precise reasons, some of which have even reached series production.
