Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology The ADaptive Versatile ENgine Technology ( or ADVENT ) program is an aircraft engine development program run by the United States Air Force with the goal of developing an efficient variable cycle engine for next generation military aircraft in the 20 , 000 lbf ( 89 kN ) thrust class . Objective . The objective of ADVENT is to develop an engine that is optimized for several design points , rather than the traditional single point . Instead of having an engine that is designed solely for high speed ( like many current fighter engines are ) or for high fuel efficiency ( like many current commercial engines are ) , the final ADVENT engine would be designed to operate at both those conditions . Specific goals include reducing average fuel consumption by 25 % and reducing the temperature of cooling air produced by the engine . History . The ADVENT program is one of several related development projects being pursued under the Air Force ' s Versatile Affordable Advanced Turbine Engines ( VAATE ) program . After being announced in April 2007 , Rolls - Royce and GE Aviation were awarded Phase I contracts in August 2007 to explore concepts , develop and test critical components , and begin preliminary designs of an engine . In October 2009 , Rolls - Royce was awarded the Phase II contract to continue component testing and integrate the developed technologies into a technology demonstrator engine . GE Aviation was also awarded funds to continue development of their technology demonstration core , which was unexpected as the ADVENT program had originally called for a single contractor to be selected for Phase II . USAF officials have denied that the program is an attempt to create a backup engine program for the F - 35 . Operational testing of the engine is expected to begin in 2013 . Applications . The ADVENT engine was originally targeted at the Air Force ' s 2018 Next - Generation Bomber , but uncertainty in that program has led Rolls - Royce ( RR ) , one of the primary developers involved with the project , to predict that the ADVENT engine will be better suited for a potential 2020 engine upgrade for the F - 35 Lightning II . RR , who is partnered with GE Aviation on the embattled F136 alternate engine for the F - 35 , has suggested that the ADVENT development contracts are all the more reason to continue the F136 , as any engine upgrade from Pratt & Whitney ( makers of the F135 engine currently used in the F - 35 ) would have to be separately funded , either internally or to additional government cost . In light of this threat , Pratt has funded an adaptive fan variant of its F135 , that may qualify for the follow - on Adaptive Engine Technology Development ( AETD ) program under the US Air Force Research Laboratory . GE was chosen to continue its ADVENT work into the AETD program . Pratt & Whitney was selected over Rolls Royce to continue along with GE for the AETD program to mature fuel - efficient , high - thrust powerplants .

Chilean tug Colo Colo ( 1931 ) Colo Colo is an historic tugboat of the Chilean Navy built in Scotland for Chile in 1931 . She was a steamship until she was reconditioned in 1971 , at which time she was re - engined as a motor vessel . She spent her service career in southern Chile . During the Chilean naval mutiny of 1931 she chased the Chilean submarine Rucumilla near the Quiriquina Island . In 1987 she was withdrawn from service and preserved at the Chilean Navy Museum at Punta Arenas .
German submarine U - 290 German submarine " U - 290 " was a Type VIIC U - boat of the Nazi German " Kriegsmarine " during World War II . The submarine was laid down on 12 October 1942 at the " Bremer Vulkan " yard at Bremen - Vegesack as ' werk ' 55 . She was launched on 16 June 1943 and commissioned on 24 July under the command of " Oberleutnant " Hartmut Strenger . She did not sink or damage any ships . She was scuttled in Flensburg Fjord in May 1945 . Service history . " U - 290 " served with the 8th U - boat Flotilla for training from July 1943 to April 1944 and operationally with the 6th flotilla from 1 May . She was reassigned to the 11th flotilla in August . She was transferred twice more , first back to the 8th flotilla in late August , then the 4th flotilla in mid - February 1945 . 1st patrol . The boat ' s initial foray , which was preceded by a short voyage from Kiel to Egersund ( southeast of Stavanger ) in Norway , began with her departure from the Nordic port on 1 June 1944 and finished at Bergen on 16 June . She had been attacked by a Norwegian De Haviland Mosquito of No . 333 Squadron RAF on 14 June . Eight of her crew were wounded . A series of brief journeys then followed , between Bergen , Kristiansand , Kiel and Gotenhafen ( now Gdynia in Poland ) . 2nd patrol . She departed Gotenhafen on 7 September 1944 . After patrolling the Baltic , she docked at Danzig ( now Gdańsk in Poland ) on 5 November . 3rd patrol and fate . After sailing to Libau in western Latvia , she departed from there on 1 January 1945 , arriving in Kiel on the 29th . She was scuttled in Kupfermühlen Bay , part of Flensburg Fjord , in May 1945 .
Fort Montagne à la Bosse Fort Montagne à la Bosse ( literally " Hump Mountain " ) was a North West Company trading post from 1790 until 1805 or after . It was located near Virden , Manitoba on the Assiniboine River at the point where the river bends from southeast to east . For background see Assiniboine River fur trade . At some point it was closed and reopened in 1794 . It was on the prairie and produced buffalo and wolf skins more than beaver , but its primary product was pemmican to feed the voyageurs further north . At one time it and Fort Esperance produced the bulk to the NWC ' s buffalo meat . As the southwesternmost post it had some contact with the Mandans in North Dakota , but the main Mandan trade was from Brandon House . During the Lewis and Clark Expedition there was an exchange of messages with the explorers at Fort Mandan and Fort Montagne à la Bosse . In 1805 François - Antoine Larocque left here on his journey to the Yellowstone River . It was in a stockade of 200 by 250 feet on a high bank that overlooked the surrounding plain . The location is marked by a cairn near about 2 . 5 miles east of Virden . The original site was destroyed by gravel extraction either for the Canadian Pacific Railway or for the old Highway No 1 . Peter Grant had an ill - documented post nearby .
AEG C . III The AEG C . III was a two - seat biplane reconnaissance aircraft , a single prototype of which was built during World War I . The aircraft featured an unusual fuselage design that completely filled the gap between the upper and lower sets of wings , to provide the pilot with improved vision , and to allow the observer a wider field of fire for his 7 . 92 mm ( . 312 in ) machine gun . The pilot sat to the rear of the observer , who was stationed over the upper wing . This design was not as successful as had been hoped , and the C . III was never entered into service . Despite being heavier than the C . II , its maximum speed increased to 158 km / h ( 98 mph ) .

Brandtaucher Brandtaucher ( German for Fire - diver ) was a submersible designed by the German inventor and engineer Wilhelm Bauer and built by Schweffel & Howaldt in Kiel for Schleswig - Holstein ' s Flotilla ( part of the Reichsflotte ) in 1850 . In January 1850 Bauer , a cavalryman during the German - Danish War , designed " Brandtaucher " as a way to end the Danish naval blockade of Germany . Bauer ' s early sketch attracted the attention of the Minister of Marine , who allowed him to construct a model . The model was demonstrated in Kiel harbour in front of naval dignitaries . Its satisfactory performance led to the construction of a full - scale model , which was funded by contributions from army personnel and local civilians . Due to the inadequate funding , the scale of the boat had to be downgraded and the design altered and simplified ; resulting in a reduced diving depth from 30 m to 9 . 5 m . This redesign included eliminating the use of enclosed ballast tanks to contain the water being taken into and expelled from the submarine . Instead , the water was allowed to pool inside the bottom of the hull , below the main floor , and was able to move relatively unobstructed within this area when the ship changed orientation . The resulting instability was likely a significant contributing factor to the loss of the vessel . As built , " Brandtaucher " was 8 . 07 m long , 2 . 02 m at maximum beam and had a draught of 2 . 63 m . It was propelled by a crew of three turning large tread wheels connected to a propeller . The boat could reach a speed of 3 knots , but this could not be maintained for long periods of time . On 1 February 1851 , " Brandtaucher " sank after a diving accident during acceptance trials in Kiel Harbour . The submarine experienced equipment failure , and sank to the bottom of a 60 - foot hole at the bottom of Kiel Harbour . Bauer escaped by letting in water , thus increasing the air pressure , which allowed Bauer and his two companions to open the hatch . They floated to the surface in large bubbles of air escaping the submarine . This was the first submarine escape to be witnessed and reported . In 1887 the wreck was discovered , and it was raised on 5 July 1887 . " Brandtaucher " was first placed on display at the Naval Academy in Kiel and then in 1906 it was moved to the " Museum für Meereskunde " in Berlin . From 1963 to 1965 it was restored in the DDR at Rostock , and placed on display at the Nationale Volksarmee Museum in Potsdam . The boat can now be viewed at the " Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr " ( German Armed Forces Museum of Military History ) , in Dresden .
