Radiant Energy loss and its implication for the characterization of metal powders combustion in Solid Propellants. The topic is hot. A new paper summarizes the efforts of two research centers, Texas Tech University and NSWC WD China Lake CA. Together with other partners, they produced a series of publications (see the Energetic Materials Technology section…
Something good for the Additive Manufacturing industry just happened. Congrats to the ELEMENTUM 3D team, RPM Innovations, Inc. and Paul Gradl‘s team at NASA – National Aeronautics and Space Administration. We’re glad that a lightweight Aluminum Alloy is the selected material. This project paves the way for more AM nozzle applications, bringing up a key…
We invite our Additive Manufacturing network to read the article Whisper Aero’s Mark Moore wrote for Aviation Week Network. A lot happened in the eVTOLs arena – you may want a shortcut provided by an expert. First of all, congratulations to Joby Aviation and Archer for their success in the Moore Ranking. Secondly, a call to action to AM parts manufacturers: eVTOLs are a…
