The European company Airbus is considered one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world and makes a great contribution to the development of aviation. As you know, aviation technology pollutes the air a lot, so many companies are developing airplanes with electric motors

Airspeed 2000. In 1933, brothers George and William Bessler, in the USA, this device with a steam engine was designed and built!The engine is V-shaped, two-cylinder, developing a power of 150 horses. Two-blade wooden screw.- Salik.bizThis aircraft did not lose engine power at high altitudes, like an internal combustion engine, where you have to compensate for the drop in atmospheric pressure with all kinds of pressurization

Combat missile "surface-to-air" looked somewhat unusual - its nose was lengthened by a metal cone. On November 28, 1991, she launched from a test site near the Baikonur cosmodrome and self-destructed high above the ground. Although the missile did not shoot down any aerial object, the launch target was achieved

Everyone has heard of the Wright brothers. Of course - the first flight, a great event for all people. Have you heard of Gustav Albin Whitehead too? Few would say yes. By the way, this is also an aviation pioneer, designer, inventor and, quite possibly, the first person who made the first flight … a little earlier than the famous brothers

Despite the fact that today it is the plane that is considered the safest form of public transport, every year at least several aircraft crash. And these high-profile media reports and the high number of deaths lead to the fact that a significant part is generally afraid to fly this "safest" transport

It seems the future has finally arrived. So, a team from the University of Bristol has created a new algorithm that will make robots much more "human" than they are now. The new achievement of scientists, published in the journal Science Robotics, proves that in the near future robots will learn to help humans, becoming practically indistinguishable from him
