[ad_1] May 20 (UPI) – The kilogram is no longer defined by a physical object. Instead, from now on, the unit of measurement will be based on fundamental constants, atomic properties, and physical absolutes. Scientists around the world will be able to reproduce the mass constant. Until now, a kilogram unit was based on the … Read more
[ad_1] A prototype electric air taxi Lilium Jet was able to fly above ground during its maiden flight to Oberpfaffenhofen, a Bavarian village in Germany. The five-seater VE weighs about one-and-one-half (3,300 lb.) and has no problem flying over a fixed point during this first test. The next step will be to attempt more complex … Read more
