The Defense Department has selected Anduril Industries, Integrated Solutions for Systems Inc., Leidos Dynetics, and Zone 5 Technologies to develop prototypes for a modular drone under the Enterprise Test Vehicle project. These drones will be used to test payloads and sensors, aiming for high production rates at low costs. The first flight demonstrations are expected in late summer or fall, after which at least one prototype will be further developed for scalable production. The project emphasizes using commercial off-the-shelf components and modern manufacturing techniques to keep costs down and ensure rapid production.

Three engineers, recent graduates from Missouri University of Science and Technology, have broken the world record for the longest paper airplane flight. Inspired by hypersonic aircraft, particularly the NASA X-43A, the team focused on speed and reduced drag in their design. They used A4 paper and ran numerous simulations to determine the ideal angle for launching the paper airplane. The team hopes their success will encourage upcoming aerospace engineers to pursue their passions.
