Spike Aerospace Supersonic Private Jets
Spike Aerospace, a Boston-based company currently developing the
world’s first supersonic private jet, have just announced that in the
interests of performance and safety, their S-512 jet won’t have any
windows in the passenger cabin. Instead the passengers will view the
world outside on massive ultra-high definition displays that run the
length of the cabin. Spike Aerospace say there are several reasons for removing the
windows from the cabin. Firstly, windows cause significant challenges in
designing and constructing a strong, safe, aerodynamic aircraft
fuselage. They require addition structural support, which in turn adds
to the overall weight of the aircraft, reducing performance and
efficiency. Spike say that instead of trying to work around these issues, they are
just going to do away with the windows altogether, and fit micro cameras
to the outside of the aircraft which relay images to the interior
displays. The brightness of the displays can be turned up or down to
reduce glare, or turned off completely for sleeping. Spike Aerospace S-512 Supersonic Jet Background. The Spike S-512 is a supersonic jet that will enable travelers
to reach destinations in half the time it currently takes. Passengers
will be able to fly from NYC to London in 3-4 hours instead of 6-7
hours. LA to Tokyo in 8 hours instead of 14-16 hours. Commercial airliners typically fly at .85 Mach (567 mph). Spike S-512
uses advanced engine and airframe technology to cruise at average
speeds of Mach 1.6-1.8 (1060-1200 mph). Expected to cost in the region of $80 million, the Spike Aerospace
S-512 will be able to carry 18 passengers. The company is expecting that
their typical customers will be multi-national businesses and their
management teams that need to manage global operations more efficiently. The jet is in the very early stages of development and it will be several years yet before even a prototype takes to the skies. (diseno-art)

Iridium Go Satellite Wi-Fi Hotspot
Iridium has introduced Iridium Go, a portable hotspot which,
uniquely, uses satellites to provide connectivity anywhere in the world. Iridium Go will enable voice and data communications on mobile
devices. It connects to smartphones and tablets, extending voice and
data coverage when they are out of cellular-network range. Iridium Go will support up to five devices at a time, and will allow
you to make calls, check email, send texts and use apps. The hotspot's
Wi-Fi network has a radius of 100 feet. This functionality is especially
useful if, say, you're climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. You can stick
Iridium Go in your bag and travel around, worry-free. Features include an antenna, which turns on the device and connects
to Iridium's satellite network to establish a Wi-Fi connection, and an
Iridium Go app for devices. The app lets you use data and provides a
location point for emergency services in case of an accident. It also has a platform for developers, thanks to Iridium Go's developer program with open access to APIs. App makers can utilise Iridium's satellite network, broadening the capabilities of their new products even further. Iridium.com
has an Iridium Apps section, for instance, with apps from companies
already making use of Iridium's satellite network within their maritime,
aviation, outdoor recreation and enterprise solutions. Iridium Go will launch in the first half of this year through select
partners. Pricing has yet to be revealed. The Iridium Go developer
program will be commercially available in the second quarter of 2014. (pocket-lint)
