ANIMAL POWER AGAIN EXOTIC ENGINES After all this speed and power, materials were developed that were so strong and yet so lightweight that on August 23, 1977 the “Gossamer Condor” an extremely light pedal-powered plane flew a figure eight in the air. Less than two years later the “Gossamer Albatross” crossed the English Channel powered only by the pilot turning pedals. We have seemingly come full circle in means of propulsion. As man seeks to fly faster, higher, and further into space, new engines have been developed. Ramjets and scramjets fly in the atmosphere in the hypersonic range, scooping oxygen from the atmosphere to avoid carrying it like rockets. On November 16, 2004, NASA’s X–43A unmanned scramjet achieved an astounding speed of nearly Mach 10! Ion propulsion engines pro- duce a small amount of thrust by accelerating charged particles. Over a long period of continuous operation they efficiently accelerate spacecraft to extremely high speeds for deep-space travel. NASA X–43A scramjet. Ion propulsion engine. Gossamer Albatross. SOLAR POWERED ELECTRIC MOTORS A NASA program researched high-altitude long- duration flights based on solar power. In 1977 the first solar-powered airplane, the “Solar Challenger,” flew six miles. In 2001 the 247-ft wingspan solar plane “Helios” built by NASA achieved a height of 98,000 ft. Only rocket planes have gone higher. History of Aviation Propulsion Solar Challenger.
