China has successfully tested and landed a reusable rocket, signalling a significant step forward in their space ambitions. On 23rd June 2024, a liquid-fuelled launcher ascended to an altitude of 7.5 miles (12 km) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. This achievement places China in closer competition with pioneers in reusable rockets like SpaceX, who have revolutionised the space industry with their reusable rocket technology.
The aerospace engineering field is at the forefront of technological innovation, constantly evolving to meet the demands of modern aviation and space exploration. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have emerged as pivotal technologies, revolutionising various aspects of aerospace engineering. This article explores how AI and robotics are transforming the industry, enhancing efficiency, precision, and safety.
Finding the right custom fabrication services provider for the aerospace sector can be challenging due to various factors. In many instances, a provider of custom fabrication services is chosen based on their ability to provide a low-cost solution. Although cost is a crucial component in the decision-making process, other considerations include the company’s overall capabilities, experience, and quality workmanship. Here, PRV takes a closer look at how aerospace companies can procure a fabrication expert.
Biomimicry, also known as biologically inspired engineering, involves the study and imitation of nature to help solve human challenges. The aviation sector is filled with examples of biomimicry which have provided engineers with invaluable insights from the flight of birds to the movement of sharks.
As a result of carefully studying the movement of animals, we have been able to make aircraft lighter and more fuel-efficient. Few projects, though, look as close to the real thing as the Macrobat, a new bird-shaped air taxi that can take off with a nearly vertical trajectory.
The journey to Mars is a long one, but what if we can cut it by half or explore our galaxy further than ever? The only way to achieve that is nuclear thermal spaceflight which is much closer than many might realise. With advances in technology and more funding for aerospace R&D, we are getting closer to faster space travel.
Solar power seems the most likely renewable energy solution when looking into the future. This conversion of energy turns sunlight into electricity, either directly through photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power or a combination. But now, Caltech is taking this a step further by collecting solar power in space and sending it to Earth but before we get into Caltech’s Space Solar Power Project (SSPP), let’s take a quick look at what solar power is.
Considering the scope of practice, deep hole machining requires a particular degree of expertise only a few engineering companies can provide. PRV is one of Europe’s top suppliers of precision engineering services with the ability to manage all of your deep hole drilling requirements under one roof – a true “One-Stop Engineering Shop” Read more
There are many engineering fields of study as it’s a broad subject with several disciplines and interesting ways to specialise. The list is extensive and includes civil engineering, aerospace and automotive engineering, biomedical and materials science engineering among many others.
Not too long ago, the categories were limited to civil, electrical, mechanical and chemical but new subsets are emerging as technology continues to evolve. To find out which engineering fields of study might be best for you, here is a summary that could shed some light and open a few doors.
The world of aviation and aerospace engineering is one of the most interesting with the latest technologies coming to the fore. One such example is the Defiant X advanced assault helicopter from Boeing and Lockheed Martin set to replace the stalwart UH-60 Black Hawk.
Earlier this year TU Delft successfully launched a scale model of its Flying V jetliner. This new future-ready aeroplane is the epitome of next-gen aerospace engineering showing better fuel efficiency and an interesting design.
