Airbus Concept Aircraft

 Imagine an airplane that exceeds the future's technology and embraces a natural aspect of Eco friendly flying.

Airbus has recently revealed details of a new concept airplane, one in which will amaze those creative minds. The plane itself will be fully equipped with most advance technology known. No longer will there be a separation of "classes" among passengers, it is distributed be their needs such as a resting area, recreation, and networking stations. At the comfort of the traveler one can easily interact with those close home and near far.

The brilliant concept combines bionic structures, holographic imaging, and efficient energy sources which could in fact be used to power the airplane as well as reduce cost and emission. Most of the specific is still concealed and launch date is far of, but we can expect great things coming from Airbus soon.

Don't be surprise if the next time you fly into the sky an invisible plane catches your eye.

NASA Donating Artifacts to Eligible Schools and Museums

NASA has decided to donate artifacts to non-profit museums and schools. These artifacts will be listed on their website, http://gsaxcess.gov/NASAWel.htm and will remain there for 90 days, with the first 30 days reserved exclusively for the National Air and Space Museum and NASA Visitor Centers.

The purpose of this is for appropriate institutions to have access to items that were difficult to obtain before, and to obtain them through an easy-to-use web portal.

Interested parties must first registered with NASA for prescreening purposes. After they have been deemed "eligible", they will be given login information and allowed to submit their requests for artifacts.

Hopefully, aviation museums and schools across the country will take advantage of this, as their visitors/students may be greatly benefited from it.

I mean just look at the picture...who wouldn't want one of these for their school?
