On today’s episode of “For Science!” we explore the concepts of Thrust, Lift, and Drag by conducting the ring airplane experiment. Cut the paper into 1 inch strips. Using two strips, tape them ...

The electric solar wind sail is a propulsion system that uses the solar wind proton flow as a source of momentum for spacecraft thrust. The momentum of the solar wind is transferred to the spacecraft ...

A new system called the EmDrive, a way of using electricity to generate thrust without the need for fuel, is one of those ideas that will generate a lot of heat and noise, but probably not a lot of ...

IT should be impossible, but a prototype space engine appears to produce energy from nothing — and it just passed a big test. The reactionless thruster was met with a surge of excitement — and ...

Using supersonic shockwaves for combustion, the groundbreaking design could allow aircraft to travel up to six times the speed of sound. Reading time 4 minutes Venus Aerospace is a winner of the 2025 ...

Latest entry in the VTOL (Vertical take-off and landing) competition is the Bell X-14, which achieves vertical flight in a horizontal flying attitude by means of a Venetian blind. The X-14 has two ...

When you say that something’s not rocket science you mean that it’s not as hard to understand or do as it may seem. The implication is that rocket science is something which is hard and best left to ...
