America to Australia in 6 Hours !!!
From America to Australia in Under 6 Hours
|
| Now, the European Space Agency (ESA) just greenlighted the next stage of modern transportation – the hypersonic flight. The ESA has approved a new round of funding to project LAPCAT (Long-Term Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Technologies). |
|
| Ignoring its funny name, the new plane will fly at mach 5.0 speeds (that’s five times the speed of sound!), using liquid hydrogen engines. The planes will be able to travel from England to Australia in four hours, carry 300 passengers and even fly to space in just 15 minutes.
The new kind of engine is being developed by the British company Reaction Engines, who is said to invest over 60 million GBP in the development, and are going to start builing a full-scale prototype engine. |
|
| Current jet engines require that airplanes carry liquid oxygen as a coolant because in speeds beyond mach 3.0 the engines cannot use external oxygen for cooling. The new type of engine can use external oxygen freely, allowing it to cool down its engines from over 1,000°c (1,832°f) to -150°c (-328°f) in a fraction of a second. |
|
| Experts are hailing this development as the biggest advancement in aviation since the invention of the jet engine. The cost of a single plane is estimated to be a whopping $1.1 Billion and will have no windows. |
|
Just 100 years ago, getting from America to Europe was a voyage that took several days by ocean liners. With the invention of airplanes, that travel time was significantly shortened to under 24 hours. At the apex of the era of transatlantic flight, the Concorde was able to fly 100 passengers at mach 2.0 speeds from New York to London in just over 3.5 hours.
Hypersonic passenger plane LAPCAT A2 explainer
The Long-term Advanced Propulsion Concept and Technologies (LAPCAT) was developed by British company Reaction Engines Limited (REL) and funded by the European Space Agency (ESA). The 139-meter long hypersonic plane has four liquid hydrogen-powered Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE) engines and can carry up to 300 passengers.
It can travel up to 6,100 kilometer per hour – five times faster than the Airbus A380. By using liquid hydrogen as fuel instead of fossil fuel it is also greener and would only produce water vapor and nitrous oxide instead of carbon emissions.

Jokes For the Day…. ” The Day Before i die …” !!!
Over dinner, Jill said to John, “I met this horrible and rude man downtown this morning, and right away I knew he was a troublemaker. He started to insult me; he used really bad language; he even threatened me!”
“How did you meet this fellow?” John asked, very concerned.
Jill said, “Well, we met by accident. I hit him with the car.”

Showing his friend around his his home, Jennings pointed out all of the collectibles he and his wife had acquired over their long years of marriage.
“The day before I die, I’d like to sell every piece we’ve got just to see how much it’s all worth.”
“Well,” his friend replies, “since you couldn’t possibly know the day before you were going to die, you’ll never be able to sell!”
“And that’s where you’re wrong,” the man smiled. “If I sell it, my wife would kill me!

Joke of the Day…” What do We do … ” ?
Mike, Jack, and Gary go for a hike in the woods. They are out about an hour enjoying the sights when they come around a sharp bend in the trail and spot a bear just in front of them feeding off some vegetation next to the trail. The bear lets out a menacing growl when it notices the hikers. Mike says “jump up and down, make some noise to scare it away”. Jack says “that won’t work, we need to play dead”. They both ask Gary “what do we do?” There is no reply. Turning around they see Gary far down the trail behind them.

Out on 99 …But 100 in Second Innings … !!!
India opener Murali Vijay avoids a high ball during Day 1 of the second Test against Australia at the Gabba. Photograph: Cameron Spencer/Getty ImagesHow often do we see a batsman get out on 99 and score a hundred in his next innings in Test cricket?
Murali Vijay is only the eighth batsman (on the ninth occasion) to do so. Rajneesh Gupta provides the details.
Murali Vijay carried his sublime form into the Brisbane Test. He was unfortunate to miss out on a well-deserved hundred at Adelaide, falling short by just one run. He, however, made amends by reaching the three-figure mark on the opening day of the second Test against Australia at the Gabba on Wednesday.
How often do we see a batsman get out on 99 and score a hundred in his next innings in Test cricket?
India opener Vijay is only the eighth batsman (on the ninth occasion) to do so.
Interestingly, four of the eight batsmen are Indians, Sourav Ganguly being the only one to do so more than once.
The details:

Note: Ganguly had a sequence of 109, 99 and 173 in 1997.
Inzamam did so against different opponents at the same ground.
Boycott remains the only batsman to score a hundred after a 99 in the same Test.
Vijay is the first opening batsman from a visiting side to score a hundred on the first day of a Test at Brisbane.
The previous best was a paltry 83 by West Indian Joey Carew in 1968.
His 144 is now the fourth highest by a visiting opening batsman on the first day of any Test in Australia.
Former teammate Virender Sehwag tops the list.

Interesting Facts about ISRO’s Largest Rocket…GSLV Mark III…!!!

The successful launch of GSLV Mark III makes ISRO self reliant in launching heavier communication satellites
The Indian Space Research Organisation on Thursday launched its first experimental suborbital flight.
This was the test launch for ISRO heaviest and upgraded rocket, the GSLV Mark III, which is carrying the Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment (CARE).
The flight took off from ISRO’s space station Sriharikota, near Chennai. Here are five things you need to know about the GSLV Mark III mission.
1) After its successful Mars mission, this is ISRO’s next step to put a man in space.
2) The Rs 155 crore mission has twin purposes — the main purpose is to test the rocket’s atmospheric flight stability with around 4-tonne luggage. The second is to study the re-entry characteristics of the crew module called Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment.
3) Other critical technologies are also to be developed for ISRO’s manned mission. These are being developed parallelly at other centres. But recovery of the capsule from out of atmosphere will be the first to be tested.
4) GSLV Mark III is the heaviest next generation rocket, conceived and designed to make ISRO self reliant in launching heavier communication satellites of INSAT-4 class, which weigh 4,500 to 5,000 kg. Once operational, this rocket will have the capability to ferry four-tonne class of Insat series of communication satellites, which are currently being launched through Arianespace.
5) This is the second mission of the GSLV rocket during the last four years after two such launches failed in 2010.
