The House She Built a Source of Conflict

-
There was a time when everything seemed to be going right for Amara . She was a beautiful woman, not only in appearance but in the way she carried herself. She grew up in a loving home, surrounded by parents who worked hard and believed that their children should never lack opportunities. Her father was a respected man who worked tirelessly to provide for the family, while her mother was equally hardworking. They raised their daughters with discipline, kindness, and the belief that education and hard work were the keys to a good life. Amara was the elder daughter. Her younger sister, Nadia , was also intelligent and ambitious. The two sisters grew up watching their parents work together, and they learned an important lesson from them: nothing worthwhile comes without sacrifice. As the years passed, both sisters became successful in their own ways. Amara worked hard, saved her money, and eventually achieved something she had dreamed about since she was young. She bought a beauti...

The aircraft that’s currently referred to as PHASA-35 is the creation of BAE systems, situated in Warton, Lancashire in collaboration with engineers from tech SME Prismatic.The aircraft successfully completed its maiden flight in Australia in February this year.The team is now gearing up the aircraft to fly higher into the stratosphere this summer in the US. It is expected to be an important feat for the PHASA-35 aircraft.The aircraft has been designed to operate without a pilot on board in the stratosphere above the weather and location of conventional air traffic.

Engineers in Britain have built a solar-powered drone that possesses a 115 feet wingspan and is capable of being in the air for a whole year with ease.

Reported first by Daily Mail, the aircraft is being touted as an alternative to lower Earth orbit satellites that are really common today.  

The aircraft that’s currently referred to as PHASA-35 is the creation of BAE systems, situated in Warton, Lancashire in collaboration with engineers from tech SME Prismatic. The aircraft successfully completed its maiden flight in Australia in February this year.

The team is now gearing up the aircraft to fly higher into the stratosphere this summer in the US. It is expected to be an important feat for the PHASA-35 aircraft. 

The aircraft has been designed to operate without a pilot on board in the stratosphere above the weather and location of conventional air traffic. The payload design too is flexible allowing the aircraft to be equipped with a bunch of sensors to allow a detailed, accurate coverage of a fixed location. 

Moreover, the payload can also be reduced to allow the aircraft to fly higher whereas a group of such aircraft can fly in a constellation, similar to SpaceX’s Starlink, providing internet connectivity in a remote location.

The solar panels are laid out on the top of the drone. As per the company’s claims, they operate at around 30 percent efficiency -- almost close to the top end available with existing technology.

During the day, the aircraft would run from the sun’s radiation while charging a set of ‘off the shelf’ commercial batteries on the plane that would equip the aircraft to fly at night. The aircraft would also have the option to reduce the altitude to save battery life.

Apart from acting as an internet satellite in lower Earth orbit, the aircraft is also capable of helping predict forest fire in time before it breaks out, as well as disaster relief, border protection, maritime and military surveillance.

This New Ultralight Aircraft May Be World’s Fastest Single-Engine Business Jet

  The speedy LAR-01's automotive interior adds comfort and luxury. Plus: The wings detach, so the jet can be stored in a home garage. By  MICHAEL VERDON           Courtesy Flaris The  Flaris  LAR-01 has a number of striking stats, including being a ton lighter (literally) than its competitors, along with an unusually short-field landing capability, and detachable wings. But its most impressive number is the 250-knot true air speed, which its designers say makes it the world’s fastest business jet among single-engine very light jets and turboprop aircraft. Flaris says recent tests “confirmed the assumptions made previously” about the effectiveness of multiple systems, including its Garmin G600 avionics and Flaris Flight Assistance System flight computer, as well as the landing gear and emergency parachute system. But it also claims more impressive stats like the 250-knot TSA at 10,000 feet. Its 6,000-feet-per-minute climb rate, adds the compan...

Fighting Drug addiction

-
 Here's the story: We sat down with a man who had a harrowing journey with addiction. He began by telling us about his early days in tertiary education, where he would occasionally smoke dagga with friends. However, his focus remained on his studies, and he worked hard to graduate and secure a qualification. After landing a job, he started building a life for himself. He got married, bought a property, and even splurged on a car. Life was good, and he felt like he was on top of the world. But one fateful night, while out with friends, he was introduced to heavier narcotics. At first, the experience was exhilarating. He described it as an elevation from the mild high of dagga to a level 5 high, where he felt invincible and euphoric. The effects would last for days, allowing him to party from Friday to Sunday without sleep. The problem, however, began to manifest on Mondays and Tuesdays every week, when the withdrawal symptoms would kick in, and he'd struggle to function at work....

Ultra-Widebody Volkswagen Bus "Volkswide" Looks Like a Porsche Racing Van

  Home   >   News   >   Renderings It's easy to understand why a muscle car or a Ferrari is cool - the big engine and cool body. But car culture is also influenced by television, rarity, or simply a generation growing up with a particular vehicle. The Volkswagen Bus is a perfect example of this because it's slow, not sporty-looking, yet it can cost a lot of money.  16 photos The Bus is perhaps one of the least understood collectibles, right up there with bubble cars. You see them grabbing huge money at auctions, making it difficult to visualize why somebody wouldn't rather have a Ferrari or some 1960s Mustang. Comedian Gabriel Iglesias is known as the VW Bus King, as his collection of Vdubs is reportedly worth in excess of $3 million. The Hoonigan crew recently did a feature video, but we still had trouble picturing the value of these vehicles. Fortunately, there's a set of renderings that takes the visuals of the Microbus to the level where everybody...
