NASA Aviation. NASA X Technology Program, The Boeing X-48 UAV. Future of Aeronautics HD. FSX Boeing B-797 Flying Wing Super Liner On March 19, 2010, NASA and Boeing successfully completed the initial flight testing phase of the X-48B. Fay Collier, manager of the ERA Project in NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate commented on the completion of the first phase of testing saying, "This project is a huge success. Bottom line: the team has proven the ability to fly tailless aircraft to the edge of the low-speed envelope safely." 39 Days to Mars! NASA's New Plasma Following the installation of a new flight computer in 2010, the X-48B was to continue a new phase of flights tests to investigate controlability aspects. The second phase of flight tests with the X-48B began in September 2010. The X-48C first flew on August 7, 2012. Engine yaw control was among the aspects to be studied.] The X-48C completed its 8-month flight test program with its 30th flight on 9 April 2013. The Boeing X-48 is an experimental unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for investigation into the characteristics of blended wing body (BWB) aircraft, a type of flying wing. Boeing designed the X-48 and two examples were built by Cranfield Aerospace in the UK. Boeing began flight testing the X-48B version for NASA in 2007. The X-48B was later modified into the X-48C version. It was flight tested from August 2012 to April 2013. Boeing and NASA plan to develop a larger BWB demonstrator.

Nanomedicine is an application of nanotechnology which made its debut with greatly increased possibilities in the field of medicine. Nanomedicine desires to deliver research tools and clinically reformative devices in the near future. With the advance of nanomedicine technology, scientists face a new realm in biotherapeutics and drug development that includes vaccines, antibodies, gene therapies and Nanoparticles such as liposomes, polymeric micelles, Nanoparticles, dendrimers, and nanocrystals for drug delivery and contrast agents.

CO2 emissions have continued to rise over the last couple of years, and the growing demand for stable electricity, heating, cooling, and transportation, don't make things any better. With an increasing population, the global energy scene has been compromised. Amidst all these, ensuring access to clean and affordable energy for all and facilitating climate change without affecting economic progress has become a priority. The only way is to come up with a global response and have everyone on board with supporting green electricity.
