Aerion AS3 Mach 4+ Supersonic Airliner

A typical flight from Los Angles to Tokyo takes about 12 hours. Florida-based Aerion is promising to cut that time down by around nine hours with their new supersonic airliner. The Mach 4+ commercial aircraft, the Aerion AS3, will have the ability to transport 50 passengers at a range of 7,000 nm. With the introduction of the jet, the company also aims to use technological advances to increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The company expanded its ongoing partnership with NASA's Langley Research Center earlier this year, intending to get a commercial flight in the Mach 3-5 range. The result could mean a future that sees flights between any two points on the planet within a few hours.

Zager Easy Play Guitars

Denny Zager rose to fame as part of the duo Zager & Evans in the late '60s, yet it's his guitars that have perhaps had the largest musical impact. Having applied his know-how to easy-to-play acoustic guitars, he's retiring this year — but is leaving with an oft-requested black lacquer version of his cutaway ZAD900CE model. With a lower string height, greater distance between the strings, a slim neck, and an intelligent bracing system to help movement, it's imminently playable, producing the same rich, warm sound that's made it a beloved favorite. Each lucky buyer will also receive a robust bonus package that includes a digitally humidified case, extra Zager PillowTouch strings, three carbon-tipped picks, a truss key, a stainless capo, a leather strap, a digital tuner, and a free lifetime membership to Mr. Zager's guitar lesson library..
