Year 2025 Future Plane Design Concepts - NASA

NASA – On-Peak with 2025 Plane Designs

3 Top JET makers reveal Design Concepts they are x-ploring for the Future

NASA has offered a first peek at possible airplanes of the future that are currently being explored by titans of the aviation industry. 

In late 2010, NASA awarded contracts to three teams — from Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and The Boeing Co. — to produce advanced-concept designs for aircraft that could take to the skies in 2025.

**NASA / Northrop Grumman

A design team led by:

Northrop Grumman

came up with this concept for a

twin-fuselage airplane

that could enter service in 2025.

The initial design concepts look very different from each other.

Northrop Grumman envisions a plane with two fuselages sharing a middle wing under which dual jet engines are slung.

Boeing, meanwhile, is working with a "flying wing" concept that resembles a stealth bomber in that it has an arrowhead- or wedge-shaped profile in place of an obvious, tubular fuselage.

Lockheed Martin's initial design looks the most like a commercial plane of today, but the two lateral wings wrap around to the rear of the plane and connect over top of where a tail fin would be, and the engines appear here as well.

An artist's conception shows a

"flying wing" concept for an aircraft that could enter service in 2025, as designed by a Boeing-led team.

All final designs will have to meet NASA's requirements for less noise, cleaner exhaust and lower fuel consumption. That will involve a complex dance of tradeoffs between all of the advanced technologies available for these aircraft.

The proposed airplanes also will have to operate safely in a more modernized air traffic management system.

In addition, each plane will have to be able to fly up to 85 percent of the speed of sound; cover a range of about 7,000 miles; and carry between 50,000 and 100,000 pounds of either passengers or cargo.

**NASA / Lockheed Martin

This concept for a 2025 airplane,

designed by a team led by Lockheed Martin,features "wrap-around" wings that join up with the tail.

For the rest of this year, each team will be exploring, testing, simulating, keeping and discarding innovations and technologies to make their design a winner.

Facebook - focused Android Phone (INQ)

INQ unveils Facebook-focused Android Phone

by Lance Whitney

INQ Mobile today took the wraps off two new Android smartphones, headed first for the U.K. market, that are designed for people who depend on Facebook.

The INQ Cloud Touch and INQ Cloud Q both heavily integrate the popular social network into their overall operation. Working closely with people at Facebook, INQ has outfitted the home screen with a visual feed that lets users quickly access updates, pictures, videos, and other Facebook content.

The phones also provide quick links to various Facebook features, including chats, messages, wall postings, and notifications, according to London-based INQ.

Facebook Places is accessible directly from the homescreen, giving people the ability to use the feature to check in at stores, restaurants, clubs, and other spots. Facebook's Events feature is also available to let people schedule events and sync them with Google Calendar. And instead of requiring users to log onto each feature separately, the phones offer a single sign-on to access all of the Facebook features available, INQ said.

For entertainment, both phones provide the Spotify music player with all of its features available to subscribers.

"The INQ Cloud Touch and INQ Cloud Q bring Facebook to people with a single touch while they are mobile and demonstrate the power of socially aware devices," Henri Moissinac, head of mobile business for Facebook, said in a statement. "INQ has built an innovative and easy to use set of features that enable people to use common Facebook interactions such as viewing photos and videos, chat, message, and check-in to their favorite businesses all from the home screen."

Few specs were available on the Cloud Q, with INQ saying only that it runs Android Froyo 2.2 and offers a 2.6-inch touchscreen. But the company provided an array of details on the Cloud Touch.

Beyond Facebook Chat, the phone includes Windows Live Messenger and Google Talk for instant messaging.

Hardware-wise, the Cloud Touch is powered by a Qualcomm 600MHz 7227 chipset and offers a 3.5-inch HGVA touch screen, 4MB of memory with an option to add more, and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera. Also built into the phone are Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, GPS, an FM radio, an accelerometer, and a compass.

The company didn't reveal the cost of the new phones, saying only that they would sell at "affordable prices for the mass market." But speculation says that as a midlevel phone geared toward teens, the Cloud Touch could sell for as low as $50 when bought with a contract.

Hot Date Ideas - 43 Kisses

43 Kisses

Romantic Date Ideas

You're going to learn all about kissing on this date; new techniques, unusual kisses, and what gets the two of you revved-up!

I guarantee you'll discover some likes and dislikes you never knew existed. Plus, can you think of anything you'd rather spend the afternoon practicing?

There are 43 different types of kisses to explore on this date, from a standard French kiss to more unusual ones like the Spiderman kiss, nip kiss, and sniff kiss. It's one of those kissing games that will teach you a little bit more about the way your date likes to be kissed and maybe even the way you like to be kissed.  Some of you will decide to go for it and try them all, but 43 different kisses, many of which take a few tries to get right, may be a bit much for others. If this is the case, no big deal, flip through the kisses and pick out 20-25 that you like. Fold them up and take turns drawing kisses, following the instructions on each one. Don't tell your date which kiss you picked, have them close their eyes and find out when you do it!

Most of the kisses include a question or two that will help you communicate opinions about the kisses and your techniques. Kissing is one of those sensitive topics, so make sure to give feedback in a positive way. For example, instead of saying "You kissed me too hard" try "I liked it at the beginning when you were kissing me softly". Complement each other while giving direction.

This brings us to the mood. All of this kissing requires some kind of a mood, right? I can see candles, maybe a fire, a bottle of wine, soft music, and a very romantic evening. But I can also see you going somewhere secluded, lying down on a blanket and having fun drawing a new kiss every few minutes and just enjoying the day. Romantic or casual can both be great, do what feels right for your relationship.

When you're done, ask which ones were the best and if they know any that weren't covered (you're willing to continue!). And last but not least, with all the kissing involved you may want to bring breath mints, smell amazing, and don't forget the Chapstick! Happy kissing!

Types of Kisses

1. Standard Kiss
   A simple kiss and a great way to get and give feedback about the kiss you do most often.

2. French Kiss
   Lean together into a simple kiss, open your mouths and touch tongues lightly. Enjoy the feeling of your tongues moving against each other. Important point - do not move too deeply into your partner's mouth.

3. Sniff Kiss
   Popular in Asian nations where public kissing is frowned upon, the sniff-kiss doesn't involve lips at all. Lean into your date and put your nose near their cheek, ear, or neck. Inhale their scent deeply.

4. Nip Kiss
   Instead of kissing with your lips, lean in close and gently bite your date’s lower lip, being very careful not to bite too hard.

5. Eskimo Kiss
   Put your faces close together and gently rub noses back and forth, up and down, or any which way you like.

6. Butterfly Kiss
   Get close to your partner and flutter your eyelids against their cheek, neck, lips, or nose.

7. Upside-Down Kiss (Spiderman Kiss)
   Have your partner lie on their back or sit in a chair and lean their head back. Lean over and give them a kiss with your heads pointed the opposite direction (noses near each other's chins).

8. Flavored Kiss
   Take a bite of strawberry, orange, piece of candy, or anything else and then give your date a French kiss.

9. Mystery Kiss
   Head to the local supermarket or candy shop and each pick out a bunch of flavors you like – this could be things like root beer barrels, toffee, grapes, strawberries, etc. (jelly bellies work well). Don’t show each other what you bought. Take turns closing your eyes while your partner eats a bite and then gives you a French kiss. See if you can guess the flavor!

10. Sucking Kiss
    When kissing with an open mouth, gently suck on your date's lower lip. Pull away slightly while kissing for that little extra touch, but not too hard.

11. Vacuum Kiss
    When your lips are pressing together, gently suck the air out of your partner's mouth.

12. Fish Kiss
    Suck your cheeks in so that both of you look like fish and try to kiss each other before you burst out laughing. Keep trying until you succeed.

13. The Non-Kiss Kiss
    Lean in close to your date until your lips are barely touching, rub your lips against each other's without puckering.

14. Lick Kiss
    Instead of touching your partner's lips with your own, lean in closely and gently run your tongue over their lips. End with a light kiss.

15. Tease Kiss
    Lean in until your lips barely graze each other's and pull back slightly. Do this a few times, enjoying the feeling of your partner’s breath, before kissing.

16. Candy Kiss
    While French kissing, pass a piece of hard candy or gum between your mouths.

17. Ice Kiss
    While French kissing, pass a small piece of ice between your mouths.

18. Capture the Candy Kiss
    Put a Skittle, M&M, or other small candy in your partner's mouth and see if you can find it and move it to your mouth. Don’t use anything larger than Skittles or M&Ms.

19. Sliding Kiss
    Expose your partner's feet, ankles, legs, stomach, and neck. Have them lie down and gently kiss them on the foot and slide up to the ankle, knee, thigh, stomach, and finally neck. Make sure to slide your lips across the skin between light kisses.

20. Hickey
    Gently, but firmly suck on your partner's skin until the area is pink or red. It may be best to do this in an area that can be covered by clothes.

21. From Behind Kiss
    Hold your date from behind and when they turn their head, move yours around to meet them and kiss.

22. Slow Motion Kiss
    Kiss your date at one-half or one-quarter speed.

23. Opposite Kiss
    If you usually kiss with your heads tilted to the right, try kissing with them tilted to the left.

24. Downward Kiss
    Starting at the ear, kiss down along your partner's jaw to their neck or collarbone.

25. Tickle Kiss
    Start by giving your partner a normal kiss and then start tickling their ribs, stomach, or underarms. See how long you can continue while you’re both laughing.

26. No Lips Kiss
    Lean in close, open your mouths slightly and touch tongues without touching lips.

27. Blow Kiss
    Give your partner wet kisses on their neck, back, or shoulder (their choice). Pull back slightly and gently blow on the area to give them a cooling sensation.

28. Woodpecker Kisses
    Have your partner close their eyes and give them short, quick kisses all over their face. See if you can cover their entire face before you burst out laughing.

29. Lady and the Tramp Kiss
    You both hold one end of licorice, taffy, fruit, or whatever in your mouth and eat until you're kissing.

30. Shocking Kiss
    Shuffle around the carpet until you build up an electric charge, lean in close until only your lips meet and give off a spark.

31. High Low Kiss
    Lean in and kiss your partner's upper lip, then pull back slightly and kiss their lower lip.

32. Kiss on the Hand
    Take your partner's hand and give it a light kiss on the top or palm.

33. Kiss on the Cheek
    Kiss your partner on the cheek.

34. Kiss on the Neck
    Hold your partner from the front or back and kiss them on the neck.

35. Frog Kiss
    Move in close, open your mouths, and touch tongues quickly and briefly, like a frog trying to catch a fly. After about a dozen touches melt in for a long French kiss.

36. Kiss on the Ear
    Lightly kiss your partner's ear, gently nibble or suck on the earlobe. Just once, lightly explore their ear with your tongue, many people don't like this but you never know.

37. Kiss on the Back
    Ask your partner which part of the back they want kissed. Pull up their shirt and kiss the area gently, rubbing your chin, cheek, and nose across the area.

38. Kiss on the Foot
    Ask your partner where their feet are ticklish. Avoiding those spots, lightly kiss them on the top of the foot, ankle, or toes. Give them a little tickle when you're done.

39. Kiss on the Navel
    Pull up your partner's shirt and gently kiss them on their navel. Use your tongue to explore the area.

40. Kiss on the Nose
    Hug your partner close and give them a soft kiss on the tip of their nose.

41. Kiss the Eyes
    Ask your partner to close their eyes. Start by lightly kissing the cheekbone once, the eyebrow once, and then very gently kiss your date's closed eyes.

42. Kiss on the Forehead
    Hold your partner close and give them a firm kiss on the forehead.

43.   Switch Kiss

With this kiss you're going to kiss your partner the way they usually kiss you and vice-versa. If they're taller, start by standing on a chair, and use the style they do, kiss the lip they kiss, put your tongue in their mouth if they usually put theirs in yours, hold them the way they hold you, you get the idea. This can be a real eye-opener!
