(WorldNews Canada)

Mechanical engineering undergraduate Ryan Baily gets a lift in this video taken aboard the NRC`s Falcon 20 aircraft. A team of mechanical engineering researchers won a spot aboard Canada`s `puke plane` to test how droplets from a 3D printer form in zero-gravity conditions. The researchers in surface science professor Prashant Waghmare`s iSSELab won the spot aboard the infamous Ottawa-based Falcon 20 aircraft as part of a national competition called Students for the Exploration and Development of Space. This research has important applications for work in space. Learning how 3D...
