Global tensions were high in the fall of 1941 as U-boats harassed ships in the Atlantic and German forces pushed deep into the Soviet Union. There was a critical need for the United States to get the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)’s new engine laboratory (today, NASA’s Glenn Research Center) in operation as soon as possible. It was especially important to complete its Altitude Wind Tunnel (AWT), which could be used to improve the engine performance of high-altitude combat aircraft. NACA engineers were experts in wind tunnel design, but simulating 30,000-foot altitudes to test full-sized engines in the new…

Asher Nursing Home, in Hove, has been rated inadequate and placed in special measures following the visit from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in October.

Well-funded Oregon-based startup Agility has been playing around with the tech for a while now using its bipedal robot, Digit. Today, the company is showcasing some of that work in a short video shared through its social channels. “[W]e were…
