Big model antenna for next satellite unveiled

Big model antenna for next satellite unveiled

A big umbrella-shaped test model antenna for a future Japanese satellite was unveiled Oct. 22 at a Yokohama office of Toshiba Corp., which is developing the antenna. The model antenna, made up of hexagonal sections, is half the size of an actual antenna. Still, the model is 12.7 meters long and 12.2 meters wide for a surface area of about 100 square meters. The National Space Development Agency of Japan plans to launch the ETS-8 engineering test satellite in 2002. ==Kyodo

              Radia's Windrunner Takes Title Of World's Largest Plane

              Radia's Windrunner Takes Title Of World's Largest Plane

              Handout rendering showsWindRunner, a new plane being developed by Colorado-based energy startup Radia. The 108-m (356-ft) long Radia Windrunner is designed to transport cargo too big for the road, to short, semi-prepared airstrips on rough terrain. It would dwarf the majestic 84-m (275-ft) long Antonov An-225 Mriya, which is sadly no longer with us. With the notable exception of the Large Hadron Collider, there's really no machine in history with single parts larger than today's mammoth wind turbines. Some offshore turbines, for example, are being built with blades more than 140 m (459 ft) long. One of the reasons why they're not getting to this scale on dry land is that it's damn near impossible to move blades this size on the road. Size really matters in wind power, where the swept area of your turbine is the key factor in how much energy you can harvest. The tips of the blades sweep a larger area than the sections closest to the hub, so there's a disproportionate area gain to be made for every bit of lengt
