Johns Hopkins researchers are using AI to speed up and improve titanium alloy manufacturing, unlocking new processing techniques for stronger, high-quality materials. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com ================================================================================== AI-driven research is making titanium 3D-printing faster, stronger, and more efficient, transforming aerospace and defense manufacturing. Producing high-performance titanium alloy parts—whether for spacecraft, submarines, or medical devices—has traditionally been a slow and resource-intensive process. Even with advanced metal 3D printing, determining optimal manufacturing conditions has required extensive trial and error. But what if these parts could be made faster, stronger, and with near-perfect precision? A research team from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics...

With America’s drone technology a disappointment on the battlefield, defense startups have joined forces with Ukrainian manufacturers to build better, war-proven aircraft for the U.S. military. U.S. startups have spent billions of venture-capital dollars in hopes of developing the small drones that the Pentagon says it needs for future conflicts, but many have produced only expensive aircraft that don’t fly very well. Ukrainian drone makers, meanwhile, have mastered mass-producing drones despite limited resources and are looking for new customers and capital. Now, the two sides are coming together, and the unlikely pairing is getting attention from the Defense Department. Southern...

She didn’t like them blowing the whistle while she twerked. Alaska Airlines flight attendant Nelle Diala has spilled the beans on getting fired for filming herself twerking at work, claiming that the punishment was “unfair” and even “discriminatory.” She opened up about getting canned for shaking her tailfeather in a recent interview with Inside Edition. “I didn’t think that being so happy could turn into something like this,” she said. “I just decided to take advantage of the moment to wake myself and get myself hyped up for my day.” Diala had reportedly uploaded a now-private TikTok video depicting herself...

Photo Credit: Ascendance Electric vehicles have seen remarkable growth over the past decade and are now commonplace on many streets. Two companies, Capgemini and Ascendance, are hoping to build upon that evolution by taking it to the skies. The companies recently announced that they're extending a partnership designed to kick-start sustainable air travel — with a test flight set for this year. Air travel is a major culprit when it comes to climate change. One study found that commercial airplanes accounted for nearly 2.5% of global carbon dioxide emissions, and another estimated that the industry is responsible for about 5%...

Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service could take over a Federal Aviation Administration contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems, The Associated Press reported. Starlink's internet equipment has already been installed in at least two different FAA facilities, according to the wire service, which cited government employees and other people familiar with the matter. Starlink is also preparing to take over a $2 billion contract currently held by telecom provider Verizon, the AP said. Starlink, which is owned by Musk's SpaceX, provides satellite internet access for residential and business customers. It bills itself as the most "advanced internet...

To be clear here, the Verizon communication system to air traffic control is breaking down very rapidly. The FAA assessment is single digit months to catastrophic failure, putting air traveler safety at serious risk. The Starlink terminals are being sent at NO COST to the taxpayer on an emergency basis to restore air traffic control connectivity. The situation is extremely dire.

An American Airlines flight from Boston aborted its landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC, Tuesday to avoid a plane departing from the same runway. “An air traffic controller instructed American Flight 2246 to perform a go-around at Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) Airport to ensure separation was maintained between this aircraft and a preceding departure from the same runway,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement. American Airlines said the flight landed “safely and normally” and described the move as standard operation to give the plane more time for the other plane to take off. “American...
