Innovatrium - The Collaborative Innovation Network (CoIN)

The Innovatrium Collaborative Innovation Network (CoIN) is a web-based tool that connects the dots across organizations. Built from more than 30 years of research at the University of Michigan, the Innovation Genome helps CoIN match challenges with the right solvers based on their cultural profile, capability, and deep domain expertise.

Mach 22, the Rock Band

Mach 22 is a Philadelphia-based hard rock band known for blending classic rock elements with a modern edge (according to Google AI). Apologies to the group - we acquired this domain name before we found out about them! If you are looking for the group or are interested in checking them out, please click on this link to their facebook page here:

Project ISINGLASS

Mach 22 is the extremely high speed referenced in the CIA's ISINGLASS proposal (see also Project Rheinberry). The CIA was interested in developing a replacement for the Lockheed SR-71. They envisioned a crewed, Mach 20+ rocket-powered glider, air-launched from a B-52 bomber based in Spain. The aircraft would boost itself to an altitude of 200,000 feet and fly reconnaissance over the Soviet Union. Recovery would be made by descent glide and landing at Groom Lake (Area 51) in Nevada.

The idea was to provide quick-response, rapid turnaround compared with slower reconnaissance systems that needed long prep and recovery times.



Project Isinglass was first proposed in 1964 and then cancelled in 1967!
