In 1980, Rockwell presented the innovative Saber Bat concept to DARPA, showcasing a forward-swept wing design that pushed the boundaries of aeronautical engineering. This visionary aircraft boasted a remarkable 10° increase in wing sweep compared to the eventual choice made by DARPA for their Forward-Swept Wing (FSW) project, notably embodied by the iconic Grumman X-29 aircraft. The Saber Bat's forward-swept wings represented a bold departure from conventional aircraft configurations, offering potential advantages in maneuverability, stability, and aerodynamic performance. Rockwell's proposal stirred excitement within the aerospace community, sparking discussions about the feasibility and potential benefits of such a daring design. While DARPA ultimately opted for the Grumman X-29 design, the Saber Bat left an indelible mark on the realm of aeronautical innovation, serving as a testament to the creativity and ingenuity that drive advancements in aerospace technology.

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Aerospace manufacturing Aerospace is a term used to collectively refer to the atmosphere and outer space. Aerospace activity is very diverse, with a multitude of commercial, industrial, and military applications. Aerospace engineering consists of aeronautics and astronautics. Aerospace organizations research, design, manufacture, operate, or maintain both aircraft and spacecraft. The beginning of space and the ending of the air is proposed as 100 km (62 mi) above the ground according to the physical explanation that the air pressure is too low for a lifting body to generate meaningful lift force without exceeding orbital velocity. Aerospace manufacturing is a high-technology industry that produces "aircraft, guided missiles, space vehicles, aircraft engines, propulsion units, and related parts".[4] Most of the industry is geared toward governmental work. For each original equipment manufacturer (OEM), the US government has assigned a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code. These codes help to identify each manufacturer, repair facilities, and other critical aftermarket vendors in the aerospace

The Vertical Flight Society (VFS) today announces the release of the 42nd Annual Student Design Competition (SDC) Request for Proposal. The annual SDC sponsorship rotates between Airbus, Bell Flight, Boeing, Leonardo, Sikorsky and the U.S. Army DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory. Each year, the VFS competition challenges students to design a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft that meets specified requirements, providing a practical exercise for engineering students at colleges and universities to promote student interest in VTOL engineering and technology. This year’s sponsor is Airbus, and the request for proposals (RFP) — entitled “Pioneering Hydrogen-Electric VTOL” — is now available for download at www.vtol.org/sdc. As the sponsor, Airbus also supports a total of $12,500 in prize money.

This is a very significant video interview with one of the Disclosure Project witnesses, A.H., who worked with Boeing Aerospace. Key takeaways from the interview where he discusses first hand knowledge and what he was told by those directly involved in UFO related projects. 1. Gen Curtis LeMay had direct knowledge of Roswell UFO crash and alien spacecraft stored at Area 51 (corroborates David Adair info); 2. The CIA became the custodian of classified UFO materials and stole them from the USAF making LeMay angry (corroborates that JFK tried to gain access to classified UFO files from the CIA Director). 3. Majestic-12 Control Group is real but has been renamed (aka Zodiac). 4. Henry Kissinger, George Bush were very familiar with ET subject. 5. Tonopah Test Range involved in study of UFO craft (corroborates Niara Isley info). 6. McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company involved in classified UFO studies (corroborates William Tompkins testimony). 7. Multiple UFO crashes in 1947, 1948, 1949, caused by high powered radar transmitters (corroborates Col Philip Corso testimony). 8. Relocation of ET related material from Area 51 to Utah (corroborates Tompkins testimony about Navy SSP built in Utah). 9. Project Redlight involves reverse engineering of captured ET spacecraft. 10. Pres Jimmy Carter left out of the loop on classified UFO files (corroborates claims that most US Presidents left out of the loop). 11. Underground ET base in Puerto Rico (corroborates info from Army witness, JP, that his father witnessed/interacted with large orb coming out of lake). 12. Project Looking Glass involves predicting the future using ET technologies (corroborates Daniel Burisch/Andy Basiago testimonies). 13. Alien face on Mars is real and Martians established human civilization at least 45k years ago (corroborates Sumerian cuneiform records). https://lnkd.in/eyy48p3Z
