Plasma wings could change the way airplanes are designed and flown
Flying with the Fourth State of Matter
On airplane wings, for example, tiny plasma actuators could help planes fly more safely, more efficiently, and with greater stability and control. They can speed, slow or divert air flows in ways that can cut drag, fuel use, and CO2 emissions by as much as 25%, researchers estimate. Some experts even think that these devices might someday replace conventional flight control surfaces such as flaps and ailerons. Imagine witnessing the ghoulish purple glow of the lab demo from the window seat of a transcontinental flight.

The Army Is Definitely Still Working On A Hoverbike
A "Joint tactical aerial resupply vehicle," to be technical Let me cut to the landspeeder chase: the U.S. Army is currently working on a hoverbike. Last summer, when the Army expressed an interest in the hoverbike, Popular Science wrote about all the previous attempts at smaller, one-or-two perso...
Save The Date: NASA's Newest Mars Lander Gets A Launch Opportunity
Go lander go! NASA announced today that its InSight mission, the first lander dedicated to taking a deeper look at Mars' surface by literally drilling into it, has a new launch period beginning May 5, 2018. This comes after a series of setbacks, including a faulty seismometer and two-year delay t...

Questions Arise On Implications Of SpaceX Pad Explosion
As SpaceX begins investigating the causes of the Sept. 1 accident that destroyed a Falcon 9 and its payload, questions are mounting over the near- and far-term implications of the failure for the launch company, its commercial customers, NASA and the U.S. Air Force.
Even before the explosion, which fortunately occurred without any injuries at Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral, SpaceX was already facing a tight schedule to meet its planned target of 18 launches for the year. The vehicle, which was to launch the Amos-6 communications satellite on Sept. 3, was to have been the ninth mission of this year and the 29th Falcon 9 launch overall. SpaceX's busy year is currently scheduled to culminate in the Falcon Heavy demonstration flight, itself already delayed from late 2015.
