The Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau made tests in 1980's with very small size space-shuttle, what became famous, when some Australian P-3 "Orion" took the picture of this thing, what was mentioned as the "Soviet space fighter". The Soviet authorities claimed that the Soviet Union would not develop space shuttles, but the pictures, what are taken from the "Plesetsk-cosmodrome" have been shown something else. Here I must mention, that there were two shuttle programs in the Soviet Union. Another one was "Buran" the large spacecraft, what had the size like American space shuttle.

That program shut down after a couple of tests and the Western intelligence believed, the purpose of that miniature space shuttle were military, and it would be developed for destroying other spacecraft. There were also some other analyzes, what was frighten the Western world. Those analyzes were that the MiG-105 was the prototype of the next generation cruise missile, what could be more terrible than HCM (Hypersonic Cruise Missile)could ever be.

Because of the photos, what was taken by P-3 Orion, and where the small size lifting body would be rescued from the sea to the Soviet naval vessel made the engineers believed, that this missile, could be used the EKRANOPLAN or WIG (Win In-Ground) what is normally called the "ground effect airplane". This technology would allow, that the cruise missile would make the "parabolic jump", and then land to the altitude of three meters for the surface of the ocean. In some scenarios, this weapon could be equipped with three jet motors, what could be at the bottom of this thing.

Those jet engines would make the landing to the ground effect flight easily, and the missile would continue with ramjets or rocket engines, and the most effective those missiles would be against warships like aircraft carriers. This could make the missile more deadly, than ever. The Russian new HCS would use the same technology, what is used in the MiG-105.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing. Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel. Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20. Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6. Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require electricity, and electr

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins. The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain. This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica
