As the "heart" of an aero-engine, the performance and reliability of the fuel pump directly affect flight safety.
AXT is proud to announce the signing of a Heads of Agreement with Stärke-AMG’s Additive Division, establishing a strategic partnership to accelerate sovereign Australian manufacturing capability across defense, aerospace, autonomous systems and advanced industrial programs.
When a spacecraft reenters Earth's atmosphere at hypersonic velocities, its protective heat shield faces the most extreme conditions, including temperatures beyond 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
A rocket launch is not for the faint of heart - and certainly not for sensitive electronics either. Nevertheless, satellites must survive the vibrations during launch unscathed. In collaboration with the Swiss space company Beyond Gravity, Empa researchers have developed a solution to mitigate these dangerous vibrations.
A 3D-printed Stamp Form Die (SFD) metal mold was developed through a partnership between the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Boeing Company to explore state-of-the-art manufacturing methods for SFD tooling in thermoplastic composite production. The SFD will be used by Boeing to contribute to NASA's Hi-Rate Composite Aircraft Manufacturing (HiCAM) project.
Stratasys Ltd. announced the launch of the new F870™ FDM® system, a large-format additive manufacturing platform designed for industrial manufacturers, automotive OEMs, aerospace & defense production lines, looking to scale production on the factory floor.
A Defense Technology review examines how tunable plasma layers could absorb, reflect, refract, and scatter radar signals to reduce the radar cross-section of aircraft and other military platforms. The authors assess plasma-generation methods, hybrid stealth systems, and the substantial challenges in power, stability, communication, and integration that still separate laboratory research from operational use.
Future lunar bases will depend on materials that can withstand radiation, extreme temperatures, vacuum, and abrasive dust while supporting power generation, storage, and transmission at increasingly large scales. The review highlights how radiation-tolerant photovoltaics, regolith-based thermal storage, lunar-derived conductors and other ISRU-compatible materials could reduce launch mass and help enable more resilient lunar energy infrastructure.
“No flying machine will ever fly from New York to Paris,” aviation pioneer Orville Wright once said. What even the visionary Wright brothers considered impossible is now a reality – thanks in part to new materials that make modern aircraft and engines possible in the first place.
Biomanufacturing uses biological systems to produce chemicals or materials. For example, scientists use microbes' ability to ferment alcohol to develop bio-based fuels. In advanced aviation fuels, new formulas could have better performance and efficiency than current ones.
