NASA and Boeing have joined to develop the most advanced RC (radio controlled) model plane. Known as the Skyray 48, this prototype could be the future of commercial aviation. The RC plane will have less power consumption and fewer emissions, while increasing carrying capacity and speed compared with current cargo and passenger aircraft. [NASA] More
Here is a video of Boeing’s high-tech YAL-1 Airborne Laser (ABL) weapons system that consists of a high energy laser, flight turret assembly, tracker Illuminator lasers, and a beacon illuminator. The weapon system uses infrared sensors to detect missiles, and then three low power tracking lasers calculate speed of the missile, and finally the main laser is fired for 3-5 seconds from a front-mounted turret to destroy the missile. Watch the video to get more details.
