Meet the world& 39;s largest RC Airplane in the world, the 5.5 meter long Boeing 747-400 Virgin Atlantic AirlinerSeptember 19, 2016Aerospace engineering has developed some truly massive airplanes, some with a wingspan of nearly 90 meters and a maximum take-off capacity of over 640 tonnes, essentially, enough to carry more than double the weight of the Statue of Liberty.

Have you ever looked out of the plane window and wondered what all those wonderful colored lines, signs, and lights actually mean? Then you& 39;ve come to the right place. Here& 39;s is our short guide to what all those signs are saying.If you want to know more, the FAA is the central authority for most international airports.

Getting astronauts into space challenges engineers with unprecedentedly difficult problems. Though the spacecraft may have been proven during the launch and duration of space exposure, it must still endure one of the most demanding challenges of all: reentry. At the end of a mission, spaceships re-enter the Earth& 39;s atmosphere as they travel in excess of 30,000 km/h.

February 21, 2017NASA will host a major press conference on Wednesday, 22 February, to present new findings surrounding the “discovery beyond our solar system”.According to NASA, the event will be based on new information surrounding exoplanets. Image Source: NASA ExoplanetsExoplanets are planets that orbit stars other than our sun.

For ten years, since their discovery, fast radio bursts have been confusing astronomers. These pulses of intergalactic radio energy have, as yet, defied explanation. A new theory may help explain them and point to a possible technological origin. It could even hint at alien spacecraft propulsion. Of course, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence but we should be willing to at least humor seemingly incredible ideas.
