Fuselage Mounted Laser Vortex Enhancer Directed to Airfoils

DARPA has developed a small laser cannon, just like Star Wars to use as a weapon in a fighter plane for air to air combat, destroying enemy missiles or perhaps using a combination later on of Argon or CO2 (depending on altitude) for close air support. Recently it was announced that they would put this new airborne laser system onto fighter jets. The system, which will go onto a fighter jet would be called the; "HELLADS" or High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System, it is being tested now. It would be a system based on Israel's THEL system, which is a mobile "Tactical High Energy Laser."

I propose we have a set of tiny mirrors in front the leading edges of the wings of the aircraft redirecting the high-energy laser beam to areas above the wings and perhaps also onto other airfoils such as stabilizers and canards. This would blast the air and/or create vortex's, which would enhance lift which would allow for mini-tornado sucking of air over the wing in critical high angle of attack situations. I propose to use this technique to enhance lift by creating miniature eddies or vortexes directly above the boundary layers above the surfaces of the airfoils.

It would makes sense to prove concept to use the A-6 Intruder or the S-3 Viking since they are high-wing aircraft to start. The F-15 might be another good candidate if it works as well as the math shows. I further propose that this system would synchronize with the amount of air needed to maintain airflow needed in the intakes for air, wing lift and the thrust vectoring jets for stability. When not in use for evasive maneuvering the pole would retract into the nose of the aircraft.

We need an off-shoot of this technology which is being tested by General Atomics and Lockheed to prove my concept will work. We can use redirected or reflected laser cannon beams to increase stability in transitional flight situations to prevent departure of the aircraft from flight, by changing the air around the airfoils and control surfaces, Think about it.

Jet Lag - 5 In-flight Tips
As an alternative to sleep, or indeed in addition to sleeping, try listening to soft, soothing music in preference to watching the in-flight movies. Here are just five of the many things that you can do during your flight to reduce, or eliminate, the effects of jet lag.
Finding the Cheapest Airfares
To find the best airfares, it takes a series of actions to be accomplished during the same period of time. Try to arrive in the early morning at your destination.
Increasing TAS in Modern Day Fighters with Expandable Wing Tips
We seem to be reaching the top end of aerodynamic design in an atmosphere in modern day fighters. The fighters we have today like the F-18 Hornet (Navy) and the F-16 Talon, F-15 Eagle (Air Force) have substantial fuselages which act as wings.
Making a Mechanical Manta with Material Memory Manufacturing Methods
The wings on the down stoke will have material memory making them go back to a neutral position. I propose building a mechanical manta ray as a Underwater Unmanned Vehicle; UUV.
Top Ten Secrets to Saving Big Money in the Airline Flights
But depending on them too much is a big mistake. The airlines often slash their fares during sluggish travel times.
Diamond Twinstar
Probably one of the coolest experimental aircraft twin-engine aircraft is the Diamond DA 42 Twinstar. The Twinstar is propelled by twin diesel engines which burn Jet A or even conventional diesel fuel.
Airline Fuel Costs Mount
Airline tickets and airlines live and die on their ability to number one fill up planes and number two, manage their fuel costs. Surcharges are up to the highest point in the history of the airlines along with the fuel costs at an all time record cost.
Group Check-in At Airports
Most airlines have a special group check-in line that may or may not be where you expect it to be. Once your group has found your departure gate do not be too concerned if people want to go off to the bathroom or to get something to eat.
AWACS Automated Flight Following System for Nuke Bunker Buster Accuracy
The Aerial Fire Fighting Industry uses a system called AFF Automated Flight Following System. Similar to a Tomahawk missile attack, but with pin point accuracy into the cavity of each consecutive strike.
FAA Intervention in Privatized Space Flight is Ridiculous
With the help of some Billionaire entrepreneurial investors they are poised to build an entire industry of Private Space Flight. During the big ceremony and media event following the third successful launch into space and safe return, the FAA was there to make a few comments.
