IN A NUTSHELL 🚀 China has reportedly outpaced the US in developing next-gen stealth drones with superior energy efficiency. 💡 The drones utilize dual synthetic jet (DSJ) technology, which eliminates traditional control surfaces for enhanced stealth. 🔍 NUDT claims these drones last three times longer and use half the energy compared to DARPA’s early-stage developments.

The vast majority of people have no idea how much turmoil there’s been in federal backed research and development. Even stuff like wildland firefighter’s getting workforce hit right before fire season is about to begin. Friends that did bioengineering (lab grown food and lab grown organ research) for private companies that have been laid off because of federal grants cuts/uncertainty
I know it’s bad. My wife is a researcher at a non-profit that relies greatly on federal grants, which are getting killed left & right, and so her company is laying off left & right.
