Skyeton K-10 Swift. The Skyeton K-10 Swift is a two-seat, single-engine light sports or ultralight aircraft designed in Ukraine.

Design and development

The Skyeton Swift is a conventionally laid out single-engine, high-wing light aircraft with side-by-side seating for two.  The wings have constant chord, each braced with a single lift strut to the lower fuselage longeron. They use a single metal spar and have stressed skin metal upper surfaces and leading edges, combined with fabric covered lower surfaces aft of the spar. Fabric covered ailerons and inboard slotted flaps together occupy the whole of the wing trailing edges.  The wings carry 2.17°  dihedral.

The Swift's fuselage is built around four welded steel longerons and skinned with composite materials. Behind the cabin the fuselage diameter decreases markedly to the tail. The fin leading edge and the rudder hinge are both strongly swept but the trailing edge of the rudder, which carries an electrically operated trim tab, is only slightly swept.  The tailplane and single piece elevator, also tabbed, are set well back, with the tailplane leading edge behind the rudder hinge.  A small triangular underfin provides more vertical stabilizer area.   A fixed tricycle undercarriage is mounted on the lower fuselage with cantilever legs.  The wheels are spatted and the nosewheel steerable.

The Swift can be fitted with one of two Rotax 912 flat-four engines: the 59 kW (79 hp) 912UL or the 74 kW (99 hp) 912ULS.  Both engines drive three-bladed propellers.

The Swift first flew in October 2006 and was developed into two versions.  The first, designated K-10(02) Swift or ULM (ultra leger motorise), is aimed at the French ultralight market and gained French approval in 2009.  The second version is targeted at the North American market and designated K-10(01) or LSA (for the US Light Sport Aircraft category). This has a wingspan increase of 600 mm, greater fuel capacity and a higher maximum take-off weight.

As of May 2019, the Swift is no longer mentioned on the manufacturer's website, indicating production was terminated.

Operational history

Eight Swifts are on the Ukrainian civil register, one on the Russian and six more on the French register.  One Swift has been manufactured in the US by SkyetonAmerica of Bettendorf, Iowa.

Lithium chlorate. Lithium chlorate is the inorganic chemical compound with the formula LiClO3.
Like all chlorates, it is an oxidizer and may become unstable and possibly explosive if mixed with organic materials, reactive metal powders, or sulfur.

It can be manufactured by the reaction of hot, concentrated lithium hydroxide with chlorine:

3 Cl2 + 6 LiOH → 5 LiCl + LiClO3 + 3 H2O

Lithium chlorate has one of the highest solubilities in water for a chemical compound.  It is also a six-electron oxidant. Its electrochemical reduction is facilitated by acid, electrocatalysts and redox mediators.  These properties make lithium chlorate a useful oxidant for high energy density flow batteries. Lithium chlorate has a very low melting point for an inorganic ionic salt.

Culver Aircraft Company. The Culver Aircraft Company was an American aircraft manufacturer of light aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s.

History
The Dart Manufacturing Corporation was founded in Columbus, Ohio, by Monocoupe dealer Knight K. Culver and Al Mooney to purchase the rights to the Mooney-designed Monosport G from the defunct Lambert Aircraft Corporation. The company was renamed the Culver Aircraft Company in 1939. In December 1939, Culver produced the Culver Model L, later renaming it Cadet.  Production was supervised by Al's brother, Art Mooney.

Having moved from Columbus to Wichita, Kansas, after producing 50 aircraft, two retractable-gear models, the LFA and LCA, were introduced, and in 1941 the company was taken over by Walter Beech (founder of Beechcraft) and Charles Yankey. The company switched to subcontract work during World War II. Culver produced a radio-controlled pilotless aircraft based on the LFA for use as target drones. Over 3000 PQ-8/TDC and PQ-14/TD2C gunnery target drones were produced for the USAAF and USN.

T. Bowring Woodbury was promoted to president in 1945. That same year, Culver developed the Model V. The V, also known as the M-17, featured a patented flight control system, known as Simpli-Fly Control, which automated a number of flight functions; the system was looked down upon by pilots, and the Model V was not considered a success. The Model V was developed into the XPQ-15 drone, but did not win production orders; not very long after the end of World War II, Culver Aircraft entered bankruptcy, the Mooney brothers departing to form the Mooney Aircraft Company and the manufacturing plant was purchased by the Coleman Company. In 1956, the Superior Aircraft Company was established, purchasing the assets of the Culver Aircraft Company, and put the Model V back into production as the Superior Satellite.

Wasp Motorcycles. Wasp Motorcycles is a motorcycle and sidecar manufacturer based in Dinton, near Salisbury, England, that specialises in building competition solo and sidecar machines for motocross, trials and sidecar grasstrack, as well as the Wasp 3 Wheel Freedom for disabled riders.

Wasp first saw racing success in 1971, when it won the European Championship.  Wasp sidecars have been the winning chassis eight times in the FIM Sidecarcross European and World Championship. In 1972, all of the top eight places in the European Championship were riding Wasp outfits.

History
Wasp was founded in 1964 by engineer and off-road motorcyclist Robin 'Robbie' Rhind-Tutt,
who was originally employed by the Ministry of Defence as an engineering apprentice at Boscombe Down. He designed and built a number of off-road motorcycle frames which he used in motocross competitions. Other competitors were interested in Rhind-Tutt's frames and commissioned him to build specialist frames, so he decided to form Wasp Motorcycles Ltd. The company changed its name to Wasp Engineering Ltd in 1997, but continues to trade under the name of Wasp Motorcycles.

A Wasp/BSA motocross sidecar outfit ridden by former world motocross champion Dave Bickers was used in the 1979 World War II film Escape to Athena, disguised to look like a German military BMW R75.

Products
Wasp manufacture and modify sidecar motocross, sidecar grasstrack ('side-car-cross'), and solo motocross motorcycles. They also produce motorcycle leading link suspension for sidecars and fork conversion kits for road bikes to improve braking and handling, and they manufacture Métisse frames pioneered by Rickman Motorcycles.

Wasp 3 Wheel Freedom
The 3 Wheel Freedom is designed for use by disabled riders, including paraplegic motorcyclists, and has an electrically operated ramp to help access. With a tubular space frame bonded to fibreglass body it has independent suspension and a twin-piston brake connected to the motorcycle brakes. The design of the sidecar enables it to carry a wheelchair and it can be attached to any motorcycle of over 500 cc.

Such a structure is known for solid . When heated above , indium trihydride decomposes to produce indium–hydrogen alloy and elemental hydrogen. As of 2013, the only known method of synthesising indium trihydride is the autopolymerisation of indane below .

Other indium hydrides

Several compounds with In-H bonds have been reported. Examples of complexes with two hydride ligands replaced by other ligands are  and .

Although  is labile, adducts are known with the stoichiometry  (n = 1 or 2).
1:1 amine adducts are made by the reaction of  (lithium tetrahydridoindate(III)) with a trialkylammonium salt. The trimethylamine complex is only stable below −30 °C or in dilute solution. The 1:1 and 1:2 complexes with tricyclohexylphosphine () have been characterised crystallographically. The average In-H bond length is 168 pm. Indium hydride is also known to form adducts with NHCs.

Gene silencing pesticide. Gene silencing pesticides are pesticides that use gene silencing, and RNA interference (RNAi) in particular to target individual species while leaving other species unharmed.

History
In 1998, it was found that double-stranded RNA, injected to worms influenced the natural gene sequence in such a way that it was silenced. Equally surprising was that the genes were also silenced when the worms ingested the dsRNA. Steven Whyard, working for CSIRO Entomology at that time, then also tried it with insects. To his surprise, this also worked, and they just invented something that had huge implications. They then patented the technology and by 2006, it was used in pesticides. Two articles were then also published that confirmed that the effect was powerful enough to protect plants from pests.

Examples 
 Monsanto and Devgen developed a gene silencing pesticide against Diabrotica virgifera
 A team, led by Xiao-Ya Chen fed gossypol with dsRNA targeting the gene for cytochrome P450 to bollworm larvae to kill them off
 Devgen has developed a gene silencing pesticide against the Colorado beetle

Application 
Besides directly killing the pests by poisoning the food of insects with RNAi, there are also other ways on how gene silencing pesticides can kill a pest. For example, a research study by Michael Scharf found that it was possible to eradicate termites by using RNAi which disables the Hex-2-gene; this transforms worker termites into soldier termites. A colony with too many soldier termites (apparently more than about 10%) does not have enough remaining worker termites to adequately feed the colony.

RemSchetMash Robust. The RemSchetMash RSM-15 Robust is a single-seat, single-engine ultralight built in Ukraine.  It first flew in 2006 but no production aircraft had been produced by late 2009.

Design and development
The RemSchetMash Robust is the only aircraft built to date by this general manufacturing company.  It has a high wing of constant chord, without flaps.  The wings are braced by single struts to the lower fuselage.  This is a carbon fibre monocoque with a starboard side door for access to the single-seat cockpit.  A conventional tricycle undercarriage is mounted on the fuselage with spring steel cantilever legs bearing the mainwheels.  The rear underside of the fuselage tapers upwards to the tail, where a constant chord tailplane carries a single piece elevator between two endplate fins.  The fins and rudders are parallel edged but with rounded tips, the rudders noticeably less deep than the fins.

The Robust is powered by a German 41 kW (55 hp) Hirth 2703 twin-cylinder in-line two-stroke engine, driving a three-blade propeller via reduction gearing.

The prototype Robust, serial LA-0872, first flew in 2006. As with some other Ukrainian ultralights, e.g. the Lilienthal Bekas, agricultural spraying was seen as a possible role, but no further aircraft appear to have been built.  An enlarged version, the RSM-25 Bekas, has been considered. This would have a span increased to 11.40 m (37 ft 5 in), a maximum take-off weight of 495 kg (1,091 lb) and be powered by a 60 kW (80 hp) Volkswagen 2300 engine.
