TAI T625 Gökbey. The TAI T625 Gökbey is a twin-engined light transport/utility helicopter developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries. Turkey's Undersecretariat for Defence Industries plans to offer the new platform to the Turkish Armed Forces and cooperating nations.

Design and development 
Turkish Aerospace Industries launched preliminary design studies in 2010. The project commenced in 2013 when Undersecretariat for Defence Industries signed a contract with the Turkish Aerospace Industries to develop a 6-ton class multi-role helicopter for land operations. Alp Aviation is responsible for production and assembly of landing gear, gearbox and dynamic components, while Spanish CESA was selected to supply hydraulic systems.

The T625 is expected to weigh 5 tonnes and is in the interim powered by two LHTEC CTS800 engines. The CTS800 was chosen due to commonality with the TAI/AgustaWestland T129. TUSAS Engine Industries has developed a next-generation indigenous powerplant for the T625 named the TEI TS1400. The first delivery of TEI TS1400 happened on December 5, 2020.

The T625 features a four-axis dual redundant automatic flight control system, along with an ASELSAN glass cockpit with two wide touchscreen Integrated Mission Displays (8x20 inches) and two touchscreen data entry Touch Command Control Units (8x10 inches). It is designed for IFR and VFR single pilot operations, night operations and flight in known icy conditions. 
The Turkish Presidency of Defense Industries has confirmed that it has obtained a multitude of patents for various sub-systems used in the T625.

On 6 September 2018, the prototype, registered TC-HLP, conducted its maiden flight at Ankara. The first Gokbey helicopter was delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces on 29 October  2024. The third helicopter was delivered on 14 January 2025.

Carplane GmbH Carplane. The Carplane GmbH Carplane is a German roadable aircraft under development by Carplane GmbH of Braunschweig. The aircraft is intended to be supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

The nearly complete prototype was first shown at the AERO Friedrichshafen show in 2015.

Design and development
The design is intended to be certified as an EASA CS-VLA Very Light Aircraft under EASA airworthiness rules. It may also be put in the US light-sport aircraft category under a weight exemption.

The Carplane features a folding cantilever high-wing, two individual single-seat enclosed cockpits in side-by-side configuration in separate fuselages with individual bubble canopies. It has fixed quadracycle landing gear with  wheels and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The twin fuselage design is intended to produce a vehicle that will drive as well as any compact car, while allowing space for the wings to fold and to store between the two fuselages, thus improving road aerodynamics and lower centre of gravity.

The aircraft is made from composites. Its  span wing has an area of  and can be extended in 20 seconds from road mode to aircraft mode. The standard engine used is a  LSA-Engines LSA850-130 petrol two-cylinder four-stroke  powerplant.

Funding for the development is being provided by the European Union and the German state of Lower Saxony.

Joseph Gibbs (engineer). Joseph Gibbs (1798–1864) was a British civil engineer and mechanical inventor. He patented a series of inventions for sawing and cutting wood, metal and stone. He is also known for his design work on the Great Northern Railway and the London & Brighton Railway.

Family
Gibbs was born in Staffordshire, the youngest son of a mill-owner and manufacturer. His uncle was mineral agent to the Duke of Devonshire and it was among the mines of the Derbyshire hills that it is thought that Gibbs acquired his taste for mining and geological research.

Career
He visited Holland and was engaged to work on some hydraulic works. He then went on to work in the West Indies.
On his return to England he superintended the erection of several  corn mills and saw mills in  London.  At this time he patented a series of inventions for sawing and cutting wood, metal, and stone. One invention was the Gibbs "elbow joint" which was used in the construction of inlaid floors. Floors were laid down that were composed of an infinite number of wood pieces of every kind and shape, each piece would be cut out and made accurately to fit its fellow and  secured with a tongue by Gibbs's machinery, the surfacing and polishing only being done by hand.

Gibbs was engaged for several years in erecting machinery for manufacturing and also lifting water. Some of that time was spent in Holland where he persuaded the Dutch authorities that the best method of draining a lake was by the use of steam power, as opposed to wind. Gibbs and his partner, Arthur Deane, were commissioned by the Dutch Government to execute the work.

In 1831, Gibbs gave evidence to a Parliamentary select committee on steam carriages.

Gibbs had a joint patent, with printer and inventor Augustus Applegarth, awarded on  29 March, 1833, for "certain improvements in steam-carriages."

Having some experience with steam power Gibbs turned his attention to the construction of passenger railways. Some of his first designs were that of the Great Northern Railway, and for part of the line from London to Brighton. The Bill for the Great Northern Railway was thrown out by parliament so Gibbs re-surveyed the line a few years later, but this was also unsuccessful. In 1844 the scheme was again brought forward, as the London and York Railway and  eventually approved by parliament, albeit in a modified form.
He joined the Institution of Civil Engineers, as a Member, on 6 April 1852.

He died after what was described as  "a long and painful illness"  on 11 February 1864.

James S. Critchley. James Sidney Critchley (1865–1944) was an English mechanical engineer, car designer and automotive pioneer.

J. S. Critchley was born in Dewsbury, England in 1865 to William and Sarah and educated at Bradford Grammar School. He served apprenticeship articles with J. Waugh, of Bradford and Thomas Green and Sons, Leeds, makers of tram locomotives, and went on to specialise in the design and construction of industrial machinery.

In 1896, he was interviewed by Frederick Richard Simms and was appointed as Works manager to the Daimler Company at the Coventry Motor Mills. He was described as "one of the few men in England with a practical knowledge of motor engineering". In May, 1898 he drove the Prince of Wales on his first motor journey on English roads taking him from Warwick Castle to Compton Verney and Wellesbourne. In around 1898 he was promoted to General Manager.

He left Daimler in 1901 and joined the Brush Electrical Engineering Company, Limited who were experimenting with car production in their Lambeth works in London.

He was a founder member of the Royal Automobile Club and in 1902 Critchley and Simms founded the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

In 1903, Crossley Brothers decided to go into car production and asked Critchley to design them a car. This car, the 22 hp was introduced in 1904 followed in 1906 by the 40 hp. After this design was finalised he left Crossley and set up his own business as a design Consultant with offices at Chancery Lane and then Tottenham Court Road in London.

He was president of the Institution of Automobile Engineers in 1913-15. During World War I he became chief inspector of motor transport with the rank of captain. When the war ended, he returned to his engineering consultancy.

Captain J. S. Critchley M.I.M.E. died in 1944 at Bickley, Kent at the age of 79.

Private life
James Critchley married Annie in 1897.

Continuing airworthiness management organization. Continuing airworthiness management organisation (CAMO) is a civil aviation organization authorized to schedule and control continuing airworthiness activities on aircraft and their parts

The scope of the CAMO is to organise and manage all documents and publications for Maintenance Organizations Part 145 and Part M approved, like development and management of aircraft maintenance programmes fulfilled. A CAMO must also provide record keeping of maintenance performed. In other words, a CAMO is responsible to the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holder. EASA has the power to give CAMO second privileges also but not in all cases. These second privileges allow the CAMO to conduct airworthiness review on aircraft, issue (or recommend for issue) Airworthiness Review Certificates and issue 'permit to fly' for maintenance check flights.

General requirements to be met by a CAMO are facilities (offices and documentation storage), a Continuing Airworthiness Management Exposition (CAME) which must be approved by the competent authority of the country or EASA and company procedures (to comply with Part M requirements).
A CAMO can also be the operator of the aircraft.

Personnel required to be employed in a CAMO are the Accountable Manager (which can be the same person for CAMO and operator), the Quality Manager (to ensure all EASA requirements are in compliance) and appropriately qualified staff for airworthiness management. These personnel must be mentioned in the CAME. In case of second privileges Airworthiness Review Staff must be employed.

Like any other aviation organisation a CAMO is audited by authorities and must fulfill all requirements. Findings in audits are categorized in levels. 

 Level 1 finding is a serious hazard to flight safety and the approval to operate can be revoked until a satisfactory correction is taken. 
 Level 2 finding is non serious to flight safety, but must be taken care of because it can lead to a Level 1 finding.

Tinnunculite. Tinnunculite is a naturally-occurring form of dihydrate of uric acid. It should not be confused with a proposed mineral species with the identical name 'Tinnunculite', that forms when droppings from a European kestrel react with the burning dumps of coal mines and quarries. The name tinnunculite is derived from the kestrel's binomial name, "Falco tinnunculus", which is itself derived from the Latin word , meaning "kestrel", from , meaning "shrill".  Tinnunculite is a naturally occurring form of the same type of origin.

The mineral is a dihydrate of uricite to which it is visually very similar. Tinnunculite is chemically similar to other organic minerals: guanine, uricite; also acetamide, kladnoite. A new mineral proposal with the same name but slightly different formula (C10H12N8O8) was submitted by Chesnokov & Shcherbakova and ultimately rejected by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) on the basis of being of anthropogenic origin.
