This could also be a stepping stone to reducing Hyperloop tunneling costs

"EagleWorks" is not a recognized lab of NASA. Despite the title, this announcement comes from a (somewhat rogue) group of individuals, not the agency.

For those interested in getting a better handle on the vehicle thermodynamics, see[1]. Feel free to play around with the open-source python model here[2] [1] https://mdao.grc.nasa.…

Following Jean Luc Doumont's simple advice on creating powerpoints has dramatically helped me create more effective presentations that hold people's attention. I highly recommend h…

I work for a large aerospace company. How can we adopt lean startup ideas for hardware projects where the design iterations are much more expensive and lead times more severe?

http://kitepowercoop.org/ Looks like there is an open-source community around energy kites. They're largely focused soft form kites, rather than fast moving rigid wings. And anothe…

1 MILLION people aren't enough to see network effects?? Is 3M [1] closer to the magic number? I moved from Boston(4M) to Cleveland(1.7M) and although the lifestyle is different, th…

My favorite alternative: Reveal.js http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/ Simple HTML slides with snazzy transitions Warning: A common pitfall of "flashy" presentations is that even if y…

Hybrid Airships might not fair well on the particular log/log plot shown, but there are other figures of merit to be considered: Emissions, noise, necessary landing infrastructure,…

Many projects at NASA are just starting to ramp up open-source efforts, and it can be very challenging to publicly release aerospace toolsets. Give it some time to build up momentu…

NASA engineers have also released an optimization framework for the Hyperloop concept as well. It's completely open-source and written in Python. Docs here: http://openmdao-plugins…

Working on my very first web app! I'm an aerospace engineer looking to get into web development. -PushPlan, a group decision making app: https://pushplan.meteor.com/huddles/pBpn7KJ…

Created by a group of aerospace engineers and computer scientists to provide a starting point for external contributions.
