The CEO of Heart Aerospace describes the development of a hybrid-electric 30-seat regional commercial aircraft. In the news, a near miss at Boston Logan between a landing Delta Air Lines flight and a departing American Airlines flight, NASA's Advanced Aircraft Concepts for Environmental Sustainability 2050 (AACES) program, Canada’s purchase of F-35A fighters and possibly Saab Gripens, and Canada’s look at early-warning-radar planes. Guest Anders Forslund is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Heart Aerospace, formed to electrify short-haul regional aviation. Heart Aerospace is developing the ES-30, a hybrid-electric 30-seat regional commercial aircraft. Heart is currently in upstate New York, testing the X1 demonstrator aircraft, which the company says will be the largest electric aircraft ever to fly. The company is backed by Bill Gates' Breakthrough Ventures and Y Combinator, as well as operator/investors United Airlines and Air Canada. Anders explains Heart Aerospace’s mission to lower the cost of air travel and how their clean-sheet Part 25 airliner will achieve about a 40% reduction in overall operating costs. The ES-30 will be an electric-motor-and-turboprop hybrid, while the full-scale X1 prototype is all-electric. The X1 demonstrator has completed low-speed taxi testing at the company’s X1 flight-test base at Plattsburgh International Airport in upstate New York. First flight is expected shortly, with type certification planned for 2031. Video: Heart X1 Completes Low-Speed Taxi Testing https://youtu.be/5jkyKevsJNI?si=1xreSjh_gRcI6xu2 Anders tells us about the Heart team and how aerospace development has changed in the last decade. The company strives to manage uncertainty rather than minimize it, holds itself accountable, and sets falsifiable goals. Before starting Heart, Anders was an aerospace researcher at Chalmers, where he was a driving force behind the Elise-Electric Aviation research project in Sweden, funded by the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova. He spent 2013-2014 at MIT, where his work on geometric variation of aerospace components was awarded the Charles M. Manly Memorial Medal. He is also a founding member of the Nordic Network for Electric Aviation. Anders has a Ph.D. in Aerospace Product Development and a B.Sc. in Engineering Physics from Chalmers. He has a dual M.Sc. in Astronautics and Space Engineering from Cranfield University and Luleå University, as part of the SpaceMaster program. He is also a member of Prince Daniel’s Fellowship for young entrepreneurs. Follow Heart Aerospace on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn. Aviation News Horrifying Near Miss at Boston Logan as Quick-Thinking Delta Air Pilots Go Around to Avoid Landing On Top of American Airlines Boeing 737 Delta Air Lines flight DL-2351, an Airbus A319 flying from Dallas, was landing at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), was cleared to land on runway 33L. Moments later, American Airlines flight AA-3161, a Boeing 737-800, was cleared to take off for Charlotte from intersecting runway 27. The pilots repeated the instruction back to the controller, and after about 40 seconds, started the takeoff. As Delta flight 2351 was about to touch down, the pilots saw the American Airlines plane and executed a go-around. That was followed by the air traffic controller asking the American flight, “American, where are you going?” Listen to the Incident Audio via @xJonNYC. Electra reveals 100-seat hybrid-electric aircraft concept Electra developed the concept under NASA's Advanced Aircraft Concepts for Environmental Sustainability 2050 (AACES) program. NASA has commissioned industry and academia to “develop transformative aircraft designs, propulsion technologies, and sustainability solutions for commercial aviation by 2050.” Electra's large airliner concept features a wide “double-bubble” fuselage that generates lift. Propulsion comes from two turbofans under the wings that produce thrust and electricity, as well as three fans mounted on the top of the aft fuselage. Electra says those fans would “ingest and re-energise slower-moving air over the fuselage, a technique known as boundary layer ingestion.” Other AACES participants include the Georgia Institute of Technology with the Liquefied Natural Gas Powered Athena Aircraft Concept, and JetZero with a hydrogen fueled blended wing body design. Congress Questions Air Force's Combat Rescue Readiness As HH-60W Helicopters Get Turned Into VIP Transports The Senate Armed Services Committee filed S. 4784, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 (NDAA), which establishes funding levels and authorities for the U.S. military. The 66th annual NDAA supports a total of $1.15 trillion in FY 2027 funding for national defense. In its report [PDF], the Committee expresses concern “about combat search and rescue (CSAR) force structure in the Air Force. In recent years, the Air Force truncated the buy of HH-60Ws and has since transferred 26 HH-60Ws from units responsible for CSAR operations to the Air Force District Washington (AFDW) to replace H-1 helicopters. AFDW uses these helicopters to support contingency response, homeland operations, and ceremonial honors in the National Capital Region. “The committee believes that these actions have left CSAR forces unnecessarily short of the forces needed to support CSAR operations in a major contingency. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct a study of CSAR requirements and capabilities, including HH-60Ws and HC-130Js, and provide a report and briefing on that study to the congressional defense committees, not later than March 31, 2027. “Furthermore, the committee directs the Secretary to avoid making any changes in CSAR force structure until the study is completed and he or she has provided the results of that study to the Congress.” Canada Plans Fleet Surge to 140+ Fighters as Low Cost Gripens Reduce Expenses According to informed sources, the Royal Canadian Air Force plans to grow its fighter fleet to 140, possibly by purchasing Saab Gripen jets. Canada has planed to purchase 88 F-35A fighters, but that could drop to 70, accompanied by 70 Gripens. Saab offered to establish final assembly, maintenance, and long-term industrial support in Canada. This would transfer technology and intellectual property to Canada. Under the F-35 program, sustainment and software updates are centralized in the United States. Canada to buy Swedish surveillance plane over US models Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada would not purchase early-warning-radar planes from the United States. Instead, they will purchase Saab’s GlobalEye, which is based on the Bombardier Global 6500 jet, manufactured in Canada. Price and fleet size were not announced. Saab said in a statement that as part of any deal, the company would invest in research and development work in Canada.

Silent propulsion is becoming an increasingly important part of modern yacht design, especially as efficiency, onboard comfort, underwater noise reduction, and vessel performance move higher on the agenda.In this episode of Positive Waves Media, host Jana Thomas speaks with Edwin Bonsen, Director Sales Marine Benelux at Voith Turbo B.V., about advanced maritime propulsion systems and their relevance for the superyacht and mega yacht market.The conversation explores the electric Voith Schneider Propeller, a system with nearly 100 years of history that has evolved through the integration of permanent magnet motor technology. By eliminating mechanical gears, Voith has made the system even quieter, supporting applications where silent operation, hydrodynamic performance, and onboard comfort are key priorities.Edwin also explains how the Voith Schneider Propeller can provide propulsion, steering, and roll damping, potentially reducing the need for traditional stabilizers while saving space, reducing resistance, and improving overall efficiency.The episode also looks at Voith inline thrusters, rim drive systems, swing-out azimuthing applications, and the Voith Linear Jet for faster yachts between 20 and 40 knots.Because several propulsion systems are discussed visually, the YouTube version is especially useful for seeing the technology being referenced.Watch the video version here:https://youtu.be/RVwrkl_9RCoGuest:Edwin BonsenDirector Sales Marine BeneluxVoith Turbo B.V.www.voith.comHost:Jana ThomasPositive Waves MediaIn this conversation:00:00:00 Meet Voith Marine00:00:15 Inside Voith's Global Engineering Portfolio00:00:47 Voith's Role in the Superyacht Market00:01:02 Electric Voith Schneider Propeller Explained00:02:09 Silent Propulsion for Research Vessels00:02:53 Stabilisation Without Traditional Fins00:03:27 Size, Power, and Technical Specs00:03:51 Efficiency, Noise Reduction, and Roll Damping00:04:48 Inline Thrusters, Linear Jets, and Yacht Applications00:05:47 Why Silent, Efficient Propulsion Matters

When a company moves from testing technology in isolation to evaluating how it could fit inside a broader industrial ecosystem with real customer activity, the commercialization conversation changes.HPQ Silicon signed a Letter of Intent on June 16, 2026 with LN Innov' and HPQ technology partner Novacium SAS at Eurosatory 2026, described in the interview as the world's largest defence and security exhibition. The LOI will evaluate a Canadian-based electric propulsion platform combining Novacium battery technologies, to be marketed under the HPQ ENDURA+ brand, with LN Innov's electric propulsion systems for North American drone, robotics and defence markets.This is still an evaluation framework, but it is supported by real industrial signals. LN Innov' has had more than 20 customers test its electric propulsion systems, with more than a dozen subsequently placing commercial orders. The company is also working toward manufacturing capacity of up to 20,000 drone motors per month in France by the end of Q3 2026.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWCommercial Signals: More than 20 customers have tested LN Innov' electric propulsion systems, and more than a dozen have placed commercial orders.Manufacturing Scale: LN Innov' is working toward capacity of up to 20,000 drone motors per month in France by the end of Q3 2026.Battery Integration: Novacium battery technologies are being evaluated by industrial and defence sector participants for potential integration into future drone and autonomous system platforms.Evaluation Window: The LOI provides a 190 day framework to assess industrialization, manufacturing, supply chain requirements, certification pathways, target applications, business structure and potential commercialization strategies.STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSAs drone adoption expands across commercial, industrial and defence applications, electric propulsion is becoming a strategic part of the supply chain. Batteries, motors and propulsion systems directly influence range, efficiency, reliability and platform performance.HPQ's opportunity is to evaluate whether a model already being deployed in Europe can be adapted for North American markets. LN Innov' brings electric propulsion expertise and customer activity. Novacium brings advanced silicon enhanced battery technologies. HPQ brings North American commercialization rights and potential exposure through its equity position in Novacium.The key point is that this is not a standalone battery story. The LOI is aimed at assessing a more integrated propulsion platform that could combine battery technologies, motors and system level requirements for drone, robotics and autonomous system applications.INVESTOR TAKEAWAYHPQ's LOI with LN Innov' and Novacium gives the company a potential pathway into North American drone and electric propulsion markets through an integrated platform strategy. LN Innov' brings demonstrated customer testing, commercial orders and a manufacturing scale up plan in France, while Novacium's battery technologies are being evaluated for future drone and autonomous system applications.For HPQ, the attraction is potential direct exposure through its 36.8 percent equity interest in Novacium and exclusive North American commercialization rights. The next 190 days will focus on whether the parties can define an industrial, manufacturing, certification and commercialization structure for North America.The LOI remains non-binding, does not grant exclusivity, and includes no financial commitments, payment obligations or minimum purchase requirements. Any future collaboration remains subject to further evaluation and definitive agreements. But the setup is clear: HPQ now has a defined evaluation window, a European propulsion company with commercial order activity, and exclusive North American rights to Novacium technologies in a market increasingly focused on secure domestic supply chains.

Wednesday, March 25, 2026   In today's episode of Astronomy Daily, Anna and Avery cover six major stories from the last 24 hours in space and astronomy — including two landmark NASA announcements that could reshape the future of human space exploration.   Story 1: NASA Cancels Lunar Gateway — Pivots to $20 Billion Moon Base NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced at the agency's 'Ignition Day' event that the Lunar Gateway orbital space station has been paused, with resources redirected toward a phased $20 billion base on the lunar surface. The three-phase plan runs from 2026 to beyond 2032 and involves international partners including JAXA, the Italian Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency. Source: https://www.space.com/space-exploration/artemis/nasas-lunar-gateway-space-station-is-out-moon-bases-are-in Story 2: NASA's SR-1 Freedom — The First Nuclear-Powered Interplanetary Spacecraft Also announced at Ignition Day, Space Reactor-1 Freedom is planned for a December 2028 launch to Mars. It will use Nuclear Electric Propulsion and carry the Skyfall payload — three Ingenuity-class helicopters designed to scout future human landing sites and map subsurface water ice.

The facility was originally built to supply EV batteries, but slower-than-expected adoption changed the math.The Ultium Cells joint venture will shift to lithium-iron phosphate battery production starting in Q2, targeting the booming energy storage market.AI data centers are driving massive electricity demand, making grid storage one of the fastest-growing battery opportunities right now."Right now, the demand exceeds supply tremendously, and it's going to continue to exceed it for the next several years." — Kurt Kelty, GM VP of Battery, Propulsion and SustainabilityVinFast is restarting construction on its North Carolina factory after a year-long pause, now targeting a 2028 launch. The original vision has shrunk considerably, and the company's finances aren't making the story any easier to tell.The plant's projected workforce dropped from 7,500 to 1,400 jobs, putting $315M in state and local incentives at serious risk.VinFast must either invest $500M or hit 1,750 jobs by end of 2026, or North Carolina can trigger a site repurchase option.Q4 losses widened 15% year-over-year to $1.3B, even as deliveries more than doubled and full-year revenue doubled as well.North American EV sales are forecast to drop 16% this year, adding headwinds to an already uphill U.S. market entry.VinFast said it "remains focused on executing the project responsibly," but declined to comment on the incentive and job-count implications.At its GTC conference this week, Nvidia revealed that Hyundai, Nissan, BYD, and Geely are building Level 4-capable autonomous vehicles on its Drive Hyperion platform, joining Mercedes, Toyota, and GM.Drive Hyperion is Nvidia's reference architecture for autonomous vehicles, combining its computing platform with cameras, radar, and lidar so automakers aren't starting from scratch.Level 4 autonomy means the vehicle can drive itself in certain conditions with no human intervention required.Nvidia's GPU dominance in gaming and data centers has quietly made it the backbone of the autonomous vehicle industry as well.Today's show is brought to you by HeyGreenlight.

Qu'est-ce que la “propulsion autophage” ?

Choses à Savoir SCIENCES

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 8, 2026 3:11


La propulsion autophage est un concept expérimental en ingénierie spatiale qui désigne un type de moteur-fusée capable de consommer une partie de sa propre structure pour produire de la poussée. Autrement dit, le moteur utilise certains de ses composants solides à la fois comme éléments de structure et comme carburant.Dans une fusée classique, le carburant et le comburant sont stockés dans des réservoirs distincts, puis acheminés vers une chambre de combustion à l'aide de pompes ou de systèmes sous pression. Ces réservoirs, canalisations et structures représentent une masse importante qui ne participe pas directement à la propulsion. La propulsion autophage cherche à réduire cette masse « inutile » en fusionnant plusieurs fonctions en une seule.Le principe repose sur l'utilisation d'un matériau solide, souvent un polymère spécifique, qui constitue la paroi du moteur. Sous l'effet de la chaleur interne, ce matériau est progressivement fondu ou décomposé chimiquement. La matière obtenue est ensuite dirigée vers la chambre de combustion, où elle est mélangée à un oxydant, généralement stocké dans un réservoir séparé. Le mélange brûle, produisant des gaz chauds expulsés par la tuyère, ce qui génère la poussée. À mesure que le moteur fonctionne, ses parois sont donc lentement consommées.Ce fonctionnement explique l'appellation « autophage », qui signifie littéralement « qui se mange soi-même ».Ce concept présente plusieurs avantages théoriques. D'abord, il permet une réduction importante de la masse totale du lanceur, car une partie de la structure devient utile à la propulsion. Ensuite, il simplifie l'architecture du moteur, en diminuant le nombre de réservoirs, de conduites et de composants complexes. Enfin, cette approche pourrait améliorer le rapport entre la masse de carburant et la masse totale, ce qui est un facteur clé pour augmenter les performances des fusées.La propulsion autophage se rapproche des moteurs hybrides, qui combinent un carburant solide et un oxydant liquide, mais avec une différence majeure : dans un moteur hybride classique, le carburant solide est un bloc distinct, alors que dans un moteur autophage, la structure elle-même joue ce rôle.On peut citer le cas de la start-up française Alpha Impulsion, qui se distingue par le développement d'une technologie de propulsion autophage appliquée aux lanceurs spatiaux. L'entreprise mise sur des matériaux et des procédés permettant au moteur de consommer sa propre structure de manière contrôlée, avec l'objectif de réduire la masse des systèmes, de limiter les déchets et d'abaisser l'empreinte environnementale des lancements. Selon Alpha Impulsion, cette approche pourrait contribuer à rendre l'accès à l'espace à la fois plus économique et plus durable, en simplifiant la conception des fusées tout en améliorant leur efficacité globale. Malgré son potentiel, cette technologie reste au stade de la recherche. Plusieurs défis techniques subsistent, notamment le contrôle précis de la vitesse de consommation du matériau, la stabilité de la combustion et la garantie de la solidité mécanique du moteur pendant que sa structure s'amincit.

Today's guest is Tanner Care. Tanner Care is a high-performance specialist, currently serving as the Director of Player Performance for the BC Lions (CFL) and the Director of Athletic Performance for the Vancouver Bandits (CEBL). Since 2023, he has also held the role of Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Simon Fraser University, where he oversees the physical development of athletes across 13 collegiate sports. On the surface, strength and conditioning is about increasing an athlete's physical strength and capacities. To dig deeper and help athletes reach their highest potential, an understanding of sprint-specific forces, athlete archetypes, and dosage of inputs is essential. On today's show, Tanner talks about his practical framework for elite athlete development. He shares how he integrates max-speed work into sport-specific drills, such as full-court basketball overthrows, and explains his “layered” coaching model, which progresses from foundational health and general capacity to more specific archetyping. The conversation also dives into the technical side of his toolkit, including the use of run-specific isometrics for sprint transfer, plyometric training, and how he balances force-velocity profiles across different athlete types. Ultimately, Tanner advocates for a “health-first” approach in the pro setting, favoring consistent, high-quality inputs over unnecessarily complex training schemes.

On the Priority of Training: "That's layer one health has to come before performance. So removing any potential inhibition." On Dynamic vs. Passive Screening: "I've seen so many people get on a table, assess passive hip internal rotation and say there's some kind of limitation. But when we see it dynamically at sports speed, it's like, oh, there it is." On General Movement Competency: "I can't tell you the amount of professional guys I have come in that like can't do like rudimentary plyometrics like they can't hop or bound stationary let alone locomotively" On Local vs. Global Issues: "Do we have a Ferrari? Do we have a Honda Civic? Do we have a Ferrari with a flat tire? Like, sometimes we just have to deal with local issues, not necessarily broad systems of improving the overall organism." On the Limits of Strength: "We know that the strongest individuals aren't necessarily the most forceful individuals. At some point, there's a clear cutoff." On Stiffness and Propulsion: "Rate of force development and stiffness isn't always a good thing if they don't have the propulsive qualities necessary to actually displace their hips horizontally" On Force and Sprint Performance“If you're able to generate adequate force at adequate time and attenuate high braking force, that's always going to correlate positively with sprint performance.” On Weight Room Philosophy: "I try to remove skill or as much skill as I can within the context of the weight room."

SpaceTime with Stuart Gary Gary - Series 29 Episode 10In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore groundbreaking developments in space exploration, including the imminent launch of the first nuclear-powered rocket, the merging of low mass dwarf galaxies, and the intriguing connection between Earth-like planets and gas giants.The Dawn of Nuclear Rocket TechnologyHistory is set to be made as NASA and DARPA prepare to test the world's first fully operational nuclear-powered orbital rocket. This innovative vehicle utilizes a nuclear thermal propulsion system that heats liquid hydrogen propellant through nuclear fusion, achieving nearly double the efficiency of conventional rockets. The test aims to validate reactor operation in orbit, potentially revolutionizing space travel by reducing transit times to Mars and allowing for larger payloads.Merging Dwarf Galaxies: A New DiscoveryA recent study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters confirms that low mass dwarf galaxies can merge with one another. Observations of the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy reveal previously hidden stellar structures, suggesting that even the smallest galaxies experience mergers. These findings challenge traditional views on galaxy formation and evolution, indicating that interactions between dwarf galaxies may be more common than previously believed.The Connection Between Earth-Like and Gas Giant PlanetsAstronomers have found that rocky planets similar to Earth are more likely to exist in star systems that also contain large gas giants like Jupiter. This research, reported in Astronomy and Astrophysics, shows that cold Jupiters, which orbit beyond the snow line, play a significant role in the formation of super Earths in the inner regions of their planetary systems. The study offers new insights into the complex dynamics of planetary formation and the conditions that lead to the development of terrestrial planets.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal LettersAstronomy and AstrophysicsScience AdvancesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) NASA and DARPA prepare to test the first nuclear-powered orbital rocket(00:10:15) New study confirms mergers among low mass dwarf galaxies(00:20:45) Link discovered between Earth-like planets and gas giants(00:30:00) China breaks through barriers in nuclear fusion reactor development(00:35:20) The impact of ultra-processed foods on global health.

5. Lunar Orbit Insertion and the Disappointment of the Moon's Surface. Bob Zimmerman discusses how on Christmas Eve, Apollo 8 approached the moon. The critical moment was Lunar Orbit Injection (LOI), requiring the firing of the Service Propulsion System (SPS) engine. This burn had to occur while the craft was behind the moon, resulting in a dramatic Loss of Signal (LOS) for Earth. Susan Borman particularly dreaded this moment because the SPS engine, which had no redundancy, was their only way into and out of lunar orbit. NASA believed firing the engine would clear any potentially problematic bubbles in the fuel lines, adding another risk. Once in orbit, the astronauts were visually disappointed, with Frank Borman describing the moon's surface as looking like a "skull" or a lifeless sandbox. Their direct observation settled the debate among scientists, confirming that the moon's craters were the result of impacts, not volcanic activity. 1962

PREVIEW. Nuclear Propulsion, Russian Cruise Missiles, and the Future of Flight on Mars. AJ Kulhari of Astrix Corporation discusses a nuclear-powered rocket concept that generates thrust by heating intake air or other material. Russia successfully tested such a cruise missile that can fly low around the world. This same method could work on Mars, using its abundant carbon dioxide atmosphere as the substance to heat. This could allow a vehicle to travel completely around Mars using only 20 grams of fuel. 1920

In this episode, I share how my eight-year-old son, Lewis, inspired me to see gait in a whole new way. When he decided he wanted to improve his walking, we began exploring small, mindful movements together — tuning into how his pelvis, ribs, and legs worked in harmony. What unfolded was a beautiful reminder that propulsion isn't about strength or effort, but about awareness, coordination, and trust between the body and the nervous system. You'll learn how awareness, sensitivity, and trust between the brain and body create lightness in both movement and life. For me, propulsion isn't about pushing forward — it's about allowing forward. As Lewis' movement became smoother and more effortless, his energy and confidence lifted too — showing how ease in motion mirrors ease within, and how true progress unfolds when we move with clarity, connection, and trust.
