Scylax E10. The Scylax E10 is a 10-seat all-electric aircraft project by German start-up Scylax Aircraft.

Design 

The €2 million all-composite, short take-off and landing design is powered by two electric motors and four  battery packs, it should cover a 160 nmi (300 km) range initially.
It aims to replace utility aircraft like the Cessna 402, Cessna 208 Caravan, Beechcraft King Air or Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander for air taxi, air ambulance, cargo, corporate, scheduled passenger and private owners.
The  motors allow a  cruise, and it should operate from  runways.

Development 

Based in Munich, Scylax was formed by solar-powered light aircraft developer Elektra Solar and aerospace engineering services provider EADCO.
Formerly PC-Aero and Elektra-UAS and a spinoff from the DLR German Aerospace Center, Elektra Solar manufactures solar-powered high-altitude aircraft: the single-seat, unmanned or optionally piloted Elektra One and the two-seat Elektra Two.
EADCO is an engineering consultancy providing research and development support, from the conceptual and feasibility phases to development and certification to customers like Airbus, ArianeGroup, Grob Aerospace, Premium Aerotec, RUAG and SABCA.

Regional operator FLN Frisia Luftverkehr is a shareholder, aiming to replace its nine-strong Islander fleet.
By October 2019, the project was privately funded until the design freeze expected in the near future.
Other investors are being sought to build and fly the first prototype in 2022 for €7 million: half from private investors and half through the German government’s "green funding initiatives".
Another €70 million will be needed for CS-23 certification in 2027, when battery technology should be more advanced to reach a  range.

Great Transcontinental Electric Car Race. In 1968 the Great Transcontinental Electric Car Race was held between student groups at Caltech and MIT. 

The Caltech team, led by EV pioneer Wally Rippel, converted a 1958 VW Microbus powered by lead cobalt batteries from Electric Fuel Propulsion Corporation of Detroit. The MIT team converted a 1968 Chevrolet Corvair powered by NiCad batteries. The MIT team raced from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Pasadena, California, while the Caltech team raced the opposite direction. A network of 54 charging locations was set up along the 3,311-mile route, spaced 21 to 95 miles apart. 

The race began on August 26, 1968, and ended on September 4. Although the MIT team reached Pasadena first, they were towed part of the way. After assessing penalty points, Caltech was declared the winner with a corrected time of 210 hours 3 minutes.

Mill of Towie. The Mill of Towie is a nineteenth-century mill building, with an attached kiln, situated close the River Isla, approximately  south of Keith, Moray in Moray.

The mill is a rubble-built rectangular building, three bays long by two wide, with a kiln projecting at its east end to form an L-shape. The main building is of two storeys, with loft space above, and was probably built in the early nineteenth-century having been built on the site of an earlier mill. There is a wheel house at its west end, protecting a wood- and iron-built breastshot paddle wheel.  in breadth and  in diameter, with eight spokes, it was built by Barry, Henry and Cook of Aberdeen. The mill's machinery, including the millstones and hoists powered by the wheel, remains operational, and the waterwheel has been described by John R. Hume as being in "excellent condition".

The mill underwent restoration in 1987–1988, and was designated a Category A listed building in 1988.

The Scottish country dance, The Mill of Towie, is named for the building.

NOTE placed 8th May 2022. Towie Mill is officially listed as the birthplace of James Milne 1629   d.1712 at the same location. His father was Thomas 'Tacksman of Towie Mills' 1599 - 1653. James had a son John who became 'Portioner of Urquart' 1659 - 1709. Along with James wife Margaret, they all lived at the Mill Of Towie. The records above state that the mill was erected C 1820, but there appears to have been a mill there from the 16th century or earlier.

E. J. Potter. E. J. Potter (April 24, 1941 – April 30, 2012), also known as the Michigan Madman, was an American dragstrip exhibition proponent. Writing his obituary in 2012, Paul Vitello of the New York Times described him as a "legend".

Life and career
Born in Ithaca, Michigan, Elon Jack Potter grew up on a farm repairing tractor engines, which led to building motorcycles. In high school, he wondered if he could build a bike with a V8 engine. The bike he built, named "Bloody Mary", was tested at a local strip and reached .

He later built a three-wheeled motorcycle with a United States military surplus rocket engine. "The Widowmaker" set three world land speed records. Potter's other creations include putting a jet engine in a Motorized tricycle and putting WWII airplane engines into tractors for tractor pull competitions.

Beginning soon after his high school graduation, Potter toured the drag racing circuit for 13 years with his creations.

Potter died from complications of Alzheimer's disease in Ithaca, Michigan, on April 30, 2012, at the age of 71.

Legacy
In 2017, Potter's  1971 Widowmaker 7 went up for auction in Las Vegas.
Potter's motorcycles were featured on an episode of American Pickers in 2019.

Nordflug FB 1. The Nordflug FB 1 was a small, parasol wing flying boat with two seats in tandem, sponsons for stability on the water and a low-powered, wing mounted engine.

Design and development

Norddeutsche Flugzeugwerke (NFW) produced the Nordflug FB 1, designed by E.B Harder, in 1920. Its three part, two spar wing had constant chord over most of the span out to blunted, angled tips. The outer part of these tips rotated to provide lateral control in place of conventional ailerons. The central section, an integral part of the rest of the fuselage structure, was held above the hull by a pair of transverse W-struts directly joined longitudinally along the centre-line. Their outer struts braced the ends of the centre-section spars to the upper fuselage longerons. The wings thinned outwards from their upper sides, providing slight anhedral.

The FB 1 was powered by a , five-cylinder, air-cooled, Siemens-Halske Sh 4 radial engine mounted centrally on top of the wing. Its uncowled cylinders projected both above and below the leading edge and a tapered cowling containing the fuel tank reached aft to about 2/3 chord.

Its fuselage was wooden and flat-sided with a nose that was rather pointed in profile, the underside curving upwards to meet a horizontal top side. It had a single step planing bottom and was unusual in being concave in section rather than the V-section of most such hulls; the step was far aft, behind the two tandem, open cockpits. The pilot sat well behind the trailing edge with pupil or passenger at about 1/3 chord, under and between the spars.  Short, stabilizing sponsons were located below the forward cockpit. 

Narrowing aft in profile to a horizontal wedge, the fuselage carried a straight-edged tailplane with balanced elevators. The fin was approximately quadrantal, mounting a large, blunted rectangular rudder.

Operational history

The FB 1 was on display at the 1923 Gothenburg International Aero Exhibition. This event was part of the Gothenburg Exhibition and was the first aeronautical show after World War I with German participation. Only one was built before Nordflug ceased trading because of the economic situation.
