Boeing admits working on antigravity in Phamtom works division

reply to post by crazyewok


There are a couple advances I hope to god go white. I want to learn more but there is no info anywhere outside my sources.

You'd think companies like Boeing et al, would want to bring it into the white world because even something like 10% reduction in drag on a 777 would be a huge selling point.

So you are familiar with the work of Townsend Brown?

Correct. I am also familiar with the lack of any supporting theory in physics that would allow his work to be true, and a marked lack of any corroborative demonstration. Especially given that it's no more than a capacitor. You'd think someone would have managed an irrefutable demonstration by now.

That's not what's going on with the B2 et al.

the biefield brown efect is real and has been demonstrated time and time again, but its is not anti gravity its an ion wind...

Well a couple of them have been integrated into the 787-10 (spinoffs of the military stuff anyway). But the ones I am interested in wouldn't play well with a 777.

I heard they were using a dielectric barrier discharge system and some laminar flow applications, I had a document about it, might have to dig around for it again.

reply to post by Stealthbomber


They are using a hybrid laminar flow system. It uses a series of openings for the airflow.

Ah that's right, I thought I read something on the 787 using dbd but I could have been mistaken.

reply to post by Stealthbomber


It's only on the -9 and -10 ( I only said -10 earlier but the -9 is the testbed) but they plan to retrofit it later.

reply to post by Zaphod58


Are they going to use this on the 777x?

reply to post by Sammamishman


They're stil a ways from the final design, but from what I have heard it will be on all new aircraft if the numbers are near where the simulations show.

Does this new propulsion system have anything to do with lasers.........cause everything is cooler with lasers, especially if they g "pew...pew".

reply to post by Sammamishman


No, no freaking lasers on the engines. Lol.

I did have to read the stuff on it a few times though to wrap my brain around it.

reply to post by Zaphod58


Darn it! Oh well, I guess the sharks have to wait....

Say, can I have a gander at what it was that you read?

reply to post by Sammamishman


And when have I ever given up a source or material?

reply to post by Zaphod58


Had to try......

reply to post by Zaphod58


Still an oil based propulsion Zaph?

reply to post by Stealthbomber


Yes. It's one of those stunningly simple upgrades that makes you go "why didn't they think of this years ago?"

as promised: www.popsci.com...

Lockheed hopes to have a test model available by 2017, and scale up to regular production by 2022.

I think we are too much on very exotic propulsion system, personaly I think more on a new propulsion system, in the kind of hybrid Turbojet or combined cycle engine or may be a new engine like Advent. IF this is soon of outside the black world in a new Platform, its much more on a new program like the LRS-B or F/X, FA/XX, for the LRS-B we are in 2014 and for a IOC in 2025 there is surely demonstrator flying somewhere, but surely nothing to do with anti gravity propulsion In my opinion.

Are they back to sucking the boundary layer off the wing with the engine intake?
