☆ Flying cars in movies and TV and the real-life vehicles they inspired
  + stars: | 2023-07-15 | by ( Elias Chavez | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The FAA just approved the first electric flying car, the Alef Model A, for test flights. The first flying car, a Model T with wings attached, was created 106 years ago. In 1930, the first flying car was featured in a movie, kicking off a long line of flying cars appearing on screen. The possibility of a flying car being available for an estimated $300,000 is exciting, but humans and engineers have been fascinated with the idea of flying cars for over 100 years. With the potential of flying cars around the corner, here's a look through the history of our obsession with making cars fly and the ups and downs that have come with it.

☆ Climate event El Niño could hit the economy from food prices to clothing sales this year
  + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Samantha Delouya | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
But that’s not the only effects expected: Combined with climate change, El Niño this year could dent US economic growth, potentially impacting everything from food prices to the winter clothing sales. Higher food prices are a common theme across El Niño events, according to a recent Deutsche Bank report. Dry weather has parched crops in El Salvador as the El Niño weather threatens food security. The last time there was an El Niño in 2018 through 2019, NOAA dubbed it “The Great Puny El Niño” due to its relatively weak impact on weather conditions. He projects that El Niño weather events could cause $84 trillion in economic losses in the 21st century.

☆ Vaping helps fuel huge rise in bad behavior on planes
  + stars: | 2023-06-05 | by ( Maureen O'Hare | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —There was the hope that when mask mandates on planes ended and people got used to traveling again, airplane passenger behavior might improve. Unruly passenger incidents were more than a third higher in 2022 than in 2021, a new global analysis by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has revealed. Incidents of physical abuse remain thankfully rare but had a worryingly huge increase of 61% in 2022 over 2021. Zero tolerance“The increasing trend of unruly passenger incidents is worrying. IATA also wants to increase guidance, training and sharing of best practice when it comes to preventing and de-escalating incidents.

☆ Flight from Paris to the US diverted to Canada due to an unruly passenger, police say
  + stars: | 2023-06-05 | by ( Zenebou Sylla Elizabeth Wolfe | Zenebou Sylla | Elizabeth Wolfe | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +1 min
CNN —A disruptive passenger on a Friday flight from Paris, France, to Detroit, Michigan, is facing criminal charges after his behavior caused the plane to be diverted to Canada, police said. The flight, operated by Delta Air Lines, left Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris Friday morning and was in the air for about six hours before landing in Canada, according to flight tracker FlightAware. After about 90 minutes at the Canadian airport, it took off and headed to Detroit. “Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior, especially when it potentially compromises the safety of our customers and flight crew,” a Delta spokesperson said in a statement regarding the incident. Last year there were more than 2,300 reports of unruly passenger behavior, according to US Federal Aviation Administration statistics.

☆ Virgin Galactic launches high-stakes flight carrying passengers to the edge of space

The space plane is designed to then detach from the mothership, fire its rocket engine and swoop straight up with its two pilots at the controls. Virgin Galactic confirmed just before 12:30 p.m. The space plane then coasted back to a landing back at New Mexico’s Spaceport America. The SpaceShipOne technology was parlayed into a larger space plane design, called SpaceShipTwo, which Virgin Galactic still flies today. Virgin Orbit, a sister company to Virgin Galactic that is focused on launching satellites to space on a small rocket, filed for bankruptcy in April.
☆ X-59: NASA’s ‘quiet’ supersonic plane revealed
  + stars: | 2022-07-25 | by ( Jacopo Prisco | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —If you’ve heard a sonic boom recently, you probably remember it. Now, NASA is working to change those regulations by transforming the boom into a “thump,” paving the way for a new generation of quieter supersonic aircraft. It’s set to take off for the first time later this year, ahead of its first quiet supersonic flight. “It will be significantly quieter than Concorde or any other supersonic aircraft that exist today,” Craig Nickol, senior adviser at NASA Headquarters, told CNN in 2022. However, it’s doubtful that any of them will be able to take advantage of the findings of the Quesst program, which will likely inform the next generation of supersonic aircraft.

☆ SpaceX's Texas expansion plans hit by a fourth FAA delay over environmental concerns
  + stars: | 2022-04-30 | by ( Jyoti Mann | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The FAA has delayed issuing its review of SpaceX's proposed expansion at its Texas launch site. Getting the FAA's sign-off is key to SpaceX's plans to launch its huge Starship rocket into orbit. The company can only begin orbital launches of its huge Starship rocket once the FAA's assessment is complete. SpaceX's expansion plans hit another hurdle last month as the US Army Corps of Engineers wanted more information on the environmental impact of the plans on local endangered species and surrounding areas. It is not clear whether the repeated delays have impacted the likelihood of an orbital Starship launch.
