Pakistan Air Force Base Corangi Creek. The PAF Base Korangi Creek is a Pakistani Air Force base located in Korangi, Karachi. The PAF Base Korangi Creek is a state-of-the-art facility involved in the development of the Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for the Pakistan Air Force.

History

Royal Air Force
The facility was established by the Royal Air Force in 1923. Located in a beach area of Karachi,  the primary role of the facility was to provide the embarkation and disembarkation facilities to the RAF and other British personnel arriving by civil or military amphibious aircraft, and also to handle receipts and dispatch of cargo on these aircraft.

In 1942, the RAF leased an area of  from the Government of Sindh and the station premises were then properly secured with a perimeter fence. Korangi Creek also served as a logistic base for the aircraft repair depot at Drigh Road through the supply depot there. Aircraft engines and spare parts that were brought to Korangi Creek by amphibious aircraft were eventually transferred to Drigh Road ( now Shara-e-Faisal) to be made use of. Much of the equipment serviced by the repair depot was channeled through Korangi to Bombay to support RAF units all over British Raj. After the independence of Pakistan, the station continued to be commanded and manned by RAF personnel till 1949.

Pakistan Air Force
In December 1949, the first RPAF station commander was Wing Commander A.R.K. Malik. At this stage, it was decided to make Korangi a technical training base for officers and airmen of the PAF. In April 1951, the first technical school was established at this station, and was named the School of Aeronautics (SOA). The school was inaugurated by the Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan. The SOA soon established its reputation as a successful training program in the PAF and abroad, and a large number of foreign countries started sending their air technicians to the base for basic training. In 1963, the School of Electronics (SOE) was moved from PAF Station Malir to Korangi Creek to become the sister institution of the SOA.

Other
The base is implicitly used for the development of the Unmanned aerial vehicle. Pakistan's Integrated Defence Systems (IDS) and the military scientists from College of Aeronautical Engineering and Pakistan Navy Engineering College have been engaged in the research and development of UAVs and aerospace related technologies. Now, the Pakistan Air Force is also producing EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) qualified technicians. Now, they are among the world's most talented technicians and engineers. EASA courses are being taught in PAF Base Korangi Creek.

Wingco Atlantica. Atlantica is a blended wing body aircraft being developed by Wingco, an aircraft manufacturer. Wingco's website states that the aircraft is based on technology developed before World War II. The aircraft features five seats and a top speed of . The aircraft is unique in that it is made from five different sections welded together.

Accident
During testing at Melbourne Orlando International Airport in Florida in January 2003, a prototype aircraft was involved in an accident. The pilot told authorities that he had been carrying out a high speed taxi to test the aircraft, and had not intended to become airborne, however the plane lifted off the tarmac and impacted with it again seconds later. The pilot suffered minor injuries in the accident. A report by the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) found that: 

During the high speed taxi, the pilot raised the nose of the airplane and it became airborne. The airplane climbed with a high angle of attack to approximately 100 feet []. The pilot then reduced the power to idle and lowered the airplane nose. The airplane collided with the ground as the pilot attempted to recover from the inadvertent flight. During the collision with the ground the ballistic recovery parachute was deployed, and the airplane was dragged 200 feet [] off the runway.

The investigators concluded that pilot error was to blame, specifically "the National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause of this accident [to be] the pilot's inadvertent liftoff and his failure to maintain airspeed which resulted in a stall."

Elia Transmission Belgium. Elia is a Belgian transmission system operator for high-voltage electricity (30,000–380,000 volts), located in Brussels, Belgium. It operates in Belgium and Germany. The company transmits electricity from generators to distribution system operators, which then supply SMEs and homes. Elia also has contracts with  major industrial users that  directly connect to its high-voltage grid.

Elia's main activities include managing grid infrastructure (maintaining and developing high-voltage installations), managing the electrical system (monitoring flows, maintaining the balance between electricity consumption and generation 24/7, importing and exporting to and from neighbouring countries) and facilitating the market (developing services and mechanisms with a view to developing the electricity market at national and European level). Elia Group also offers consulting and engineering services through a subsidiary Elia Grid International (EGI), founded in 2014.

History
Elia was created as a result of the unbundling of the electricity market. On 28 June 2001, Elia became an independent public company by merging the Company for the Coordination of the Generation and Transmission of Electrical Energy (CPTE) with the Electrabel entity managing the 30-380 kV grid. On 17 September 2002, it was appointed as the federal transmission system operator in accordance with the Electricity Act of 29 April 1999. On 20 June 2005, Elia was listed on the Euronext Brussels and since 2012 has been part of the BEL20 index.  On 8 July 2005, Elia set up the spot market power exchange Belpex, which has since been integrated into Paris-based EPEX SPOT.

On 12 March 2010, Elia and Industry Funds Management reached to an agreement with Vattenfall on the acquisition of the Vattenfall-owned German transmission system operator 50Hertz Transmission GmbH, one of the four German transmission system operators. The transaction was approved by the European Commission on 10 May 2010.

Operations

Elia owns Belgium's 150 to 380 kV grid infrastructure and almost 94% of its 30 to 70 kV grid infrastructure.  In addition to the Belgium market, Elia operates also in Germany through its subsidiary 50Hertz Transmission GmbH.  The company studies interconnection projects with the United Kingdom (Nemo project), Luxembourg and Germany.

Elia had a 60% stake in the power exchange Belpex. As the activities of Belpex were integrated with the energy exchange APX-ENDEX, Elia received a 20% stake in APX-ENDEX.

Elia is a contributor to the inter-regional electricity trading joint venture the European Market Coupling Company.

Ownership
Elia's shares are listed on Euronext, 44.79% is owned by Publi-T SCRL, a cooperative company representing Belgian municipalities and intermunicipal companies, 9.30% by Katoen Natie, 4.25% by Interfin, 3.32% by Publipart, a holding company of EDF Luminus, and 0.97% by Belfius Insurance, while the rest (37,37%) is free floating (2024).

Wiesen Viaduct. The Wiesen Viaduct (or Wiesener Viaduct; ) is a single-track railway viaduct, made from concrete blocks with dimension stone coverage. It spans the Landwasser southwest of the hamlet of Wiesen, in the canton of Grisons, Switzerland.

Designed by the then chief engineer of the Rhaetian Railway, Henning Friedrich, it was built between 1906 and 1909 by the contractor G. Marasi (Westermann & Cie, Zürich) under the supervision of P. Salaz and Hans Studer (RhB). The Rhaetian Railway still owns and uses it today for regular service. An important element of the Davos–Filisur railway, the viaduct is  high and  long; it has a main span of .

Location
The Wiesen Viaduct forms part of the Davos–Filisur railway section between Wiesen and Filisur. Just  southwest of Wiesen railway station, it has, on its south side, a separate pedestrian bridge giving hikers access to Filisur. At the western end of the viaduct is a non functioning Hippsche turning wheel.

History
The Wiesen Viaduct structure was designed by the then Chief Engineer of the Rhaetian Railway, Henning Friedrich. Construction began in October 1906, under the direction of another engineer, Hans Studer. With the launch of the Davos–Filisur railway in July 1909, the viaduct came into operation. It cost a total of 324,000 Swiss francs to build.

The falsework used for the building of the viaduct was designed by G. Marasi, swallowed up around  of wood, and was constructed by the Graubünden carpenter Richard Coray.

In 1926, the viaduct was the inspiration for Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's painting Brücke bei Wiesen.

Technical data
The Wiesen Viaduct is  high and  long. Its main span is only  wide, but also  long, which makes it one of the longest main spans of any masonry bridge.

To the west of the main span are two arches, each  long. East of the main span are four more arches, each of them also  long.

These technical characteristics combine to make the Wiesen Viaduct the Rhaetian Railway's largest stone and second largest bridge.
