Phönix-Aviatechnica LKhS-4. The Phönix-Aviatechnica LKhS-4 (also transliterated Phoenix-Aviatechnica LKhS-4 or Feniks-Aviatechnica LKhS-4; in Cyrillic script Феникс-Авиатехника ЛХС-4) was a 1990s Russian design for a civil utility aircraft of unusual configuration. Its designation is an acronym of Legkiy Khozyaystvennyy Samolet (Легкий Хозяйственный Самолет) — "light utility aircraft" in Russian. In addition to general aviation purposes, the LKhS-4's intended use was air-taxi and commuter roles throughout the CIS and it was therefore designed to be able to operate from soft snow or mud.   

It was to have been produced by an international joint venture between Russia and Bulgaria. Construction of a prototype began in 1992. First flight was anticipated by 1993, then by 1994, but did not eventuate at all.

Design and development
Although designed in the 1990s, the LKhS-4 was a single-bay, equal-span, unstaggered biplane design. The wings were braced with I-struts at mid span, and were designed to fold backwards for storage. The fuselage was to have a pod-and-boom layout, with a conventional tail and fixed, tricycle undercarriage. Seating for a pilot and three passengers was to be provided in two rows of two seats inside an enclosed, extensively-glazed cabin. Power was to be provided by two piston engines mounted to the fuselage sides in the interplane gap, driving pusher propellers. At one stage, the engines were specified as VAZ-3187 two-cylinder engines of  each, but the LOM M132 was also considered.

Construction was to be a light alloy frame, with wing spars of steel tube, covered in panels of composite material. 

In September 1990, Bulgarian aircraft engineering company Aviatsionna Tehnika (a division of VMZ) and Russian aircraft engineering company Interavia signed an agreement to develop and manufacture light aircraft. This led to the foundation of Phönix-Aviatechnica as a joint company the following year, with 51% Bulgarian and 49% Russian ownership. The two designs selected for production were the LKhS-4 and SL-90. 

Production of the LKhS-4 was planned to start in May 1994 at Aviation Repair Factory ARZ-411 in Mineralnye Vody, Russia, but the aircraft would never be completed, much less manufactured.

Almas (missile). Almas () is an Iranian short-range surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missile used for anti-armor attacks.

Almas is a guided missile that does not need a direct eye-line sight to launch from land vehicles, drones, helicopters and shoulder-fired tubes. It is a so-called top-attack missile — meaning its ballistic trajectory can strike from directly above its targets instead of from the side and hit tanks where they are lightly armored and vulnerable.

Almas was developed primarily for use in combat drones or as a ground base using fire and release guidance.
Almas was displayed for the first time in the exhibition of defense achievements in 2015. The missile is  at least produced in three variants: Almas-1, Almas-2, and Almas-3. This missile was unveiled in the joint army drone exercise in January 2019 and was fired by the Ababil drone of the army ground forces. It is hypothesized to have been reverse engineered from the Israeli Spike missile. It has been used extensively by Hezbollah since 2023. 

Almas-4, the newer generation of this missile, among other improvements, send clearer images of its flight back to its operators. According to CAT-UXO, a munitions awareness group, this missile can carry two types of warheads. One can detonate in two phases, making it easier to penetrate armor. The other is a fuel-air bomb that explodes into a fireball.

Specifications
Type:                 Top-attack anti-armor guided weapon.
Length:               1100 mm Almas 1-2 & 1600 mm Almas 3.
Weight:               15kg (33 lbs) Almas 1-2 & 34kg (75lbs) Almas 3.
Diameter:             130 mm Almas 1-2 & 170 mm Almas 3.
Range:                4km (2.5 miles) Almas 1 - 8km (4.9 miles) Almas 2 - 10km (6.2 miles) Almas 3.
Warhead:              Tandem HEAT/thermobaric.
Guidance:             Infrared homing (IIR) & electro-optical. 
Penetration rate:     600 mm RHA (Almas 1), ~1000 mm RHA (Almas 2 & 3).

Crew and Science Airlock Module. The Crew and Science Airlock Module is designed as an airlock module of the Lunar Gateway station, to be built by the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre.

Background 
The airlock module is meant to facilitate transfers to and from the habitation modules of the Gateway and into the vacuum of space. The airlock module will therefore support deep space science research as well as external Gateway maintenance.

Contract
In January 2024, NASA announced the partnership with MBRSC with whom NASA shares a long-standing partnership. The UAE, in which the MBRSC is located, was among the initial signatories of the Artemis Accords. Soon after the contract was announced, design work began. As part of the contract, the UAE will be able to send one of their own astronauts aboard a future Artemis mission.

Design and manufacture 
The project will occur in a five phased approach: planning, design, qualification, flight preparation and operations. The MBRSC will be responsible for long term management, maintenance and operation of the Airlock.

Launch
The module is slated to launch on the Artemis 6 mission which is currently scheduled for 2031.

Events
June 4:Charles-Émile Reynaud presented a praxinoscope projection device at the Société française de photographie. He did not attempt to market his praxinoscope a projection before 1882. Only a handful of examples are known to still exist.
Specific date unknown:
 In 1880, Plastilin (or Plasteline) was patented in Germany by Franz Kolb. It was further developed by Claude Chavant in 1892 and trademarked in 1927. It is a form of modelling clay for use in building and sculpting. It is a precursor of plasticine, which would become the favourite  product for clay animators, as it did not dry and harden (unlike normal clay) and was much more malleable than its harder and greasier Italian predecessor plasteline.
The Zoopraxiscope  of Eadweard Muybridge was introduced in 1880 at the California School of Fine Arts. Muybridge did project moving images from his photographs with his Zoopraxiscope, from 1880 to 1895, but these were painted on discs and his technique was no more advanced than similar earlier demonstrations (for instance those by Franz von Uchatius in 1853). The first discs were painted on the glass in dark contours. Discs made between 1892 and 1894 had outlines drawn by Erwin Faber photographically printed on the disc and then colored by hand, but these discs were probably never used in Muybridge's lectures.

Interavia I-1L. The Interavia I-1L Leshiy (Cyrillic: Интеравиа И-1Л Леший), also produced as the Phönix-Aviatechnica SL-90 Leshiy (Феникс-Авиатехника СЛ-90 Леший) is a light aircraft first manufactured in Russia in the 1990s. A Leshiy is a type of forest spirit in Russian folklore. 

A wide range of civil aviation roles were envisaged, including flight training, search and rescue, aerial photography, environmental survey, aerial application, and patrolling forests, power lines, and oil and gas pipelines.

Design and development 
The I-1L is a high-wing, strut-braced monoplane of conventional design. It has fixed, tailwheel undercarriage, and two seats side-by-side in an enclosed cabin. The structure is of aluminium alloy, with metal and fabric covering.

Development started as an Interavia project in 1988. The company built and flew the first prototype in Autumn 1990, after which four more prototypes built at the Myasishchev factory. Russian type certification was awarded by the end of the year. 

In September 1990, Bulgarian aircraft engineering company Aviatsionna Tehnika (a division of VMZ) signed an agreement with Interavia to develop and manufacture light aircraft. This led to the foundation of Phönix-Aviatechnica as a joint company the following year, with 51% Bulgarian and 49% Russian ownership. The two designs selected for production were the I-1L (as the SL-90) and a twin-engine biplane, the LKhS-4  which was not eventually built.

Initial production began at the Lukhovitsy Machine Building Plant (LMZ), with the plan that components would be manufactured there and that final assembly would take place at LMZ for Russia and at Phönix-Aviatechnica in Plovdiv for Bulgaria.

By April 1993, 47 examples had been built in Russia with the original M-3 engine, plus one example with a VAZ RPD-4133 engine.

SayIntentions.AI. SayIntentions.AI is an AI-powered, voice recognition-based air traffic control (ATC) system developed by SayAgain Solutions, LLC, designed for use in flight simulators. This system aims to enhance the realism and immersion of flight simulation by utilizing advanced artificial intelligence technologies. It is compatible with major flight simulators such as Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) and X-Plane. The software is in early access as of June, 2024.

SayIntentions.AI employs GPT-4 to interpret and respond to pilot communications in real time. This allows for interactions that are more natural and less dependent on rigid command structures, accommodating non-standard phraseology and various communication styles. The system supports a wide range of flight types, including Visual Flight Rules (VFR), Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), and multiplayer scenarios. It covers over 88,000 airports worldwide and is available in multiple languages to cater to a diverse user base.

SayIntentions.AI integrates real-time weather data and provides Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) broadcasts that reflect current conditions in the simulator. It supports detailed ATC procedures, continuously updated based on user feedback and testing. Designed to be user-friendly, the system includes features such as a student pilot mode and a free trial period, making it accessible to both novice and experienced users. This approach aims to lower the barrier to entry for flight simulation enthusiasts.

Development and technology 
The development of SayIntentions.AI was led by Brian Shellabarger, an AI specialist, and a programmer with expertise in C# and C++. Their objective was to address the limitations of existing ATC systems, which often lack dynamic interaction and realism. By integrating GPT-4, SayIntentions.AI provides a system that understands and adapts to various pilot communications.

Future developments 
Future enhancements for SayIntentions.AI include expanding VFR capabilities, introducing traffic-aware ATC, and improving support of international airspaces. The development team is also exploring ways to optimize costs and improve the pricing model as the technology advances.

Acquisitions 
SayIntentions.AI acquires code base of AIFlow and AIGround, and welcomes Roland Foster (ClipperOS) onto the Development Team. Roland Foster is the original developer of both AIFlow and AIGround.
