Ilyushin Il - 6 The Ilyushin Il - 6 was a Soviet long - range bomber developed from the Ilyushin Il - 4 during 1942 . Originally intended as a high - speed replacement for the Il - 4 , it was recast as a very long - range bomber with fuel - conserving diesel engines before production of the single prototype began in December 1942 . Flight testing showed controllability issues when landing at high weights and the engines proved to be hard to start at low temperatures and were slow to respond to throttle movements . Further development was canceled in 1944 . Development . Outwardly similar to the Il - 4 , the Il - 6 was faster and had a longer and slimmer fuselage fitted with a completely new , highly - tapered wing with an aspect ratio of 8 . The engine nacelles were streamlined to reduce drag and increase speed as the engine radiators were mounted in the wing center section , fed by slits in the leading ege of the wing . Defensive armament was greatly improved with five cannon fitted on flexible mountings in the nose , dorsal turret , two waist positions and a ventral blister forward of the tailplane . The Il - 6 was originally intended as a high - speed replacement for the Il - 4 . But after the initial design was completed in August 1942 , the VVS requested that the bomber have extended range instead of high speed . So the original M - 71 radial engines were replaced by Charomskiy ACh - 30 diesel engines with low fuel consumption which promised to give the Il - 6 the required range , especially when operated at moderate weights . The revised design was completed in December 1942 and production of the prototype was initiated . First flight of the Il - 6 was made in Irkutsk on 7 August 1943 with lower - powered ACh - 30B engines substituted for the unavailable ACh - 30BF engines . Flight tests revealed difficult handling , and a lack of power due to the non - availability of the intended ACh - 30BF engines . Flight tests continued without the waist guns and their gunner until the ACh - 30BF ' s were fitted between May and July 1944 . Despite modifications , the aircraft still suffered from poor controllability at low speeds and high weights as well as very poor gliding performance . Throughout the flight tests the engines performed satisfactorily in the air , but were found to be very difficult to start in low ambient temperatures and had slow response to throttle movements . Further development was canceled .

Eurocopter EC225 Super Puma The Eurocopter EC225 Super Puma Mk II + is a long - range passenger transport helicopter developed by Eurocopter as the next generation in the civilian Super Puma family . It is a twin - engined aircraft and can carry up to 24 passengers along with 2 crew and a cabin attendant , dependent on customer configuration . The helicopter is marketed for offshore support and VIP passenger transport duties , as well as public service missions . Development . The EC225 development was announced by Eurocopter in June 1998 , with the first prototype performing its maiden flight on 27 November 2000 . It received safety certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency in July 2004 . Design . The EC225 is based on the Eurocopter AS332L2 Super Puma , improving upon the design with a five - blade main rotor incorporating a new airfoil shape to reduce vibration levels . The helicopter is powered by two Turbomeca Makila 2A1 turboshaft engines mounted over the cabin , which feature a dual - channel Full Authority Digital Engine Control ( FADEC ) system and anti - icing system to enable it to operate in very cold climates . Other improvements include a reinforced main rotor gearbox and a full glass cockpit with Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays . There are currently 4 configurations designed by Eurocopter for the EC225 . The passenger transport version has seating arrangements for 19 passengers with a high - density seating arrangement accommodating up to 24 passengers . The VIP transport version has a large VIP lounge with seating for 8 passengers and a cabin attendant . The Emergency Medical Service ( EMS ) configuration has medical units for 6 stretchers and 4 seats for medical workers . Finally , the SAR configuration allows for Search & Rescue equipment with an operator seat , hoistman seat and up to 8 rescue seats and 3 stretchers . Operational history . Algeria became the first country to use the EC225 when the Algerian Ministerial Air Liaisons Group ( GLAM ) received one in December 2004 for VIP transport duties . Notable accidents and incidents . Following the 22 October crash , which initial investigation indicated was the result of a gearbox failure , the major North Sea Super Puma operators , CHC Helicopter , Bond Offshore Helicopters and Bristow Helicopters decided to ground all AS 332 and EC225 Super Puma helicopters . In both incidents although the main gearbox lubrication system had failed , the backup system was working correctly but displaying an erroneous warning light which lead to the pilots ditching their helicopters . This was due to an incorrect specification of a pressure switch . On 25 October 2012 it was announced that the problem was suspected to relate to the main gearbox vertical shaft . The AS 332 L1 and L2 versions of the Super Puma can be refitted with an older design , allowing them to resume flying . On 8 November 2012 some Super Pumas of Bond Offshore Helicopters began to fly again .

Felicissimus Felicissimus ( died 271 ? ) was a public officer in Ancient Rome , during the reign of Emperor Aurelian . He is famous because he led an uprising of mint workers against the Emperor , but was defeated and killed , possibly in 274 , but more probably in 271 . Felicissimus was a " rationalis " , the chief of the state treasury . One of the responsibilities of the rationalis was to administer the imperial mints . The workers of the mint in Rome had been engaged in adulterating the coinage and Felicissimus was held responsible and executed . An uprising of the mint workers followed ; it is reported that 7 , 000 soldiers were killed during this revolt ( Aurelius Victor xxxv 6 ; " Historia Augusta " , " Aurelianus " , xxxviii 2 - 4 ) , although it would not be surprising if this were an exaggeration . It is possible that this uprising was somehow connected with the senatorial and equestrian classes , as Aurelian executed several senators . The fact that the mint of Rome was inactive for a short time before the monetary reform of 274 could be a consequence of this revolt , and the poor quality of the coinage at the beginning of Aurelian ' s reign supports the suggestion that the workers at the mint were adulterating the coinage .
