A COMPLETELY NEW KIND OF AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM, MADE OF ROTATING CYLINDERS An Austrian engineering firm debuted a new type of hovercraft at the Paris Air Show this week, claiming it can take off and land vertically without using any rotor blades or fixed wings. The D-Dalus vehicle uses four contra-rotating turbines for propulsion, each reaching 2,200 rpm. Each turbine blade has a variable angle of attack, which according to the designer allows the main thrust to be fired in any direction, around any axis. This allows the craft to launch vertically, hover, rotate in any direction and even thrust upwards, holding itself down. (read more)

For drivers, in particular, detention time remains particularly frustrating, hurting their wallet (as most don’t get paid for sitting at a shipper’s dock waiting to load or unload) while shredding their schedule to pieces, especially in terms of staying in compliance with hours of service (HOS) rules. The debate over what to do about detention time is reaching a fever pitch of sorts of late, particularly as members of Congress propose to drive a legislative stake through the heart of this nasty issue once and for all.

CALIFORNIA, SOUTH CAROLINA BILLS ADDRESS SPEED ISSUES A California bill on the move would give communities leeway in setting speed limits, and would reduce yellow light intervals. In South Carolina, a new law puts an end to the use of automated enforcement. Since 2004, California law has required cities to round up their speed limits starting at the 85th percentile of travel speeds. The posted speed must be rounded to the nearest 5 mph increment. Awaiting consideration on the Assembly floor is a bill – AB529 – to give local governments the option to round speed limits down after a traffic study.
