3D-Printed Dark Ceramics: A Breakthrough for Hypersonic Technology | USAF Designates Fighter Drones | Sweden to Receive 160 Breathing Air Compressors

Defense Industry Daily - Fri, 07/03/2025 - 05:00
Americas Donald Trump has vowed to construct a ‘Golden Dome’ – similar to Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ missile defense – as he build :”the most powerful military of the future”. The first step, he told a joint sitting of the United States Congress is to fund a “state-of-the-art missile shield to protect our homeland”. The initiative aims to shield US from a rapidly evolving array of aerial threats, including a range of ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. Trump’s latest announcement to the Congress is being seen as the official renaming of the US’ flagship security initiative, initially launched as the “Iron Dome for America”. Researchers at the Purdue Applied Research Institute (PARI) are developing 3D-printed dark ceramics for hypersonic missiles and aircraft. These materials are ideal for withstanding extreme conditions due to their durability and resistance to degradation. Using digital light processing (DLP) 3D printers, the team can create complex shapes with high precision, allowing for intricate designs with smooth surfaces. This technology is crucial for producing components like sharp cones and hemispheres, which are essential for hypersonic vehicle construction. The 3D-printed dark ceramics can withstand extremely high temperatures and intense pressures, making them a significant advancement in hypersonic technology. This breakthrough could […]

EZ KIRÁLY VOLT!

Air Base Blog - Thu, 06/03/2025 - 08:52

A Sikorsky ikonikus forgószárnyasa, az SH-3 Sea King az Egyesült Államokon kívül további tizennégy ország felségjelével repült és négyben gyártották is. Meddő próbálkozás lenne tehát rövid, de mégis átfogó ismertetőt írni, ezért most kizárólag a négy alapváltozatról lesz szó, amelyek az amerikai haditengerészet, a US Navy tengeralattjáró-elhárító és harci támogató századainál üzemeltek.

A második világháborút követő években a forgószárnyas technika immár visszavonhatatlanul helyet követelt a katonai repülésben. A helikopterek kifejlesztésében élenjáró ukrán emigráns, Igor Sikorsky 1923-ban alapított cége a harmincas években repülőcsónakok gyártásával szerzett hírnevet. Gépeit a kor neves légitársasága, a Pan American Airways is üzemeltette transzóceáni útvonalain. Sikorsky figyelme ugyanebben az évtizedben fordult a helikopterek felé és lelkesen vetette bele magát a merevszárnyú repülőgépekétől merőben eltérő műszaki megoldások kidolgozásába. Első, már helikopternek mondható repülő szerkezete 1940 májusában szállt fel, Sikorskyval a kormányoknál. Ha valaki, akkor ő igazán tudta, hogy mibe ül…
