Project Negin. Negin () is the tentative title of an upcoming class of warship designed by Iran, unveiled in November 2019. The design of the vessel resembles littoral combat ship (LCS) in the American terminology, though Iranians have identified it as a 'heavy destroyer'.

Design and construction
The vessels in the class are to displace between 5,000 and 7,000 tons, according to what Iranian officials told press in November 2019. In April 2020, Iran announced that the design phase has been concluded and the construction of the lead ship will begin shortly.

Analyses
The project is described as an attempt to improve blue-water capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, by Farzin Nadimi of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Military journalist David Axe is skeptical that Iran can build such a warship.

Desaer ATL-100. The Desaer ATL-100 (ATL being Portuguese for "light transport aircraft") is a twin-turboprop, high-wing, utility aircraft under development by Desaer in Brazil and by CEiiA in Portugal.

Development

By 25 September 2020, a joint-venture between Brazilian Desaer and Portuguese engineering centre CEIIA was expected to create 1,200 jobs at a new integrated factory in Evora.
The ATL-100 should then be developed over three years.

Design

The ATL-100 is a non-pressurized, twin-turboprop, high-wing utility aircraft with a fixed tricycle landing gear and an aft cargo ramp.
With an MTOW up to , it should be certified under the part 23 commuter category for 19 passengers or three LD3 containers. It could operate on unpaved and short runways, with little or no ground support; it targets robustness and easy maintenance, and low operations costs. Quick-change variants could be offered for air ambulance, emergency evacuation, paratrooper or troop transport; and for patrol, surveillance, intelligence, reconnaissance.

ATL-100H 
The ATL-100H is a variant of the original that adds two outboard magniX magni350 electric motors to the configuration. Their role is to provide additional thrust, primarily for take-off and climbing. Each 111.5-kg (246-lb) motor offers 350-kW/1,610 Nm (1,188 ft lb) of maximum continuous torque. The company claimed that it would reduce fuel consumption by 25-40% and reduce take-off noise levels.

Yenisei (rocket). Yenisei (Russian: Енисей), project name RN STK-1 (Raketa-Nositel' SverkhTyazhologo Klassa - Carrier rocket super-heavy class), is a super-heavy launch vehicle being developed by the Russian space industry. The main developer is RSC Energia.

It is being developed within the framework of the federal target program "Creation of a super-heavy class space rocket complex". The program was given a budget of 600 billion rubles (USD ~$6 billion). It is the main rocket of the Russian Lunar program.

The final design for the rocket was expected to be complete by autumn 2021, but the program appears to have been paused or stopped just before this expected completion date. 

In 2024, it was announced that the project will resume in 2025.

The first launch was expected to happen in 2033 from the Vostochny cosmodrome.

Based on the Yenisei launch vehicle, the Don launch vehicle (RN STK-2) is being developed by adding another stage.

Development 
The rocket got its name at the end of 2018, before that it was called "RN STK" (super-heavy launch vehicle).

Chronology of development.

Planned events 
 October 2021 – end of technical design.
 2026–2028 – construction and commissioning of infrastructure for a super-heavy launch vehicle and a medium-class rocket for launching crewed spacecraft from the Vostochny cosmodrome.

Design 
The first stage will consist of 6 blocks, each block will be based on the first stage of the planned Irtysh / Soyuz-5 rocket with an RD-171MV engine.

The second stage will consist of one block – matching the first stage of Soyuz-6 – with RD-180 as engine.

The upper stage will be KVTK.

Accelerating braking unit: Block DM

Proposed variants

Flight tests 

Flight tests of a super-heavy launch vehicle will take place in two stages from 2028 to 2035.

The first stage of testing will take place in 2028–2032. It involves the launch of a crewed spacecraft, a lunar take-off and landing complex (LVPK) and other payloads on the trajectory of the flight around the Moon and circumlunar orbits in order to work out the elements of a crewed complex, create a station in the orbit of the Moon, and land on the lunar surface.

The second stage of testing will take place in 2032–2035. It is planned to launch LVPK and other uncrewed payloads for the construction and operation of a base on the lunar surface. In addition, this stage involves participation in international programs related to the study of Mars.

Applications 
The super-heavy rocket is supposed to be used in the Russian lunar program, since the carrying capacity of the Angara-A5V launch vehicle (37.5 tons to LEO) is insufficient for these purposes.

Lunar program payloads 

 20-ton Orel spacecraft.
 27-ton lunar landing and takeoff complex (LPVK).
 32-ton lunar base module.

Satellite constellation 

 Spacecraft up to 30 tons to geostationary orbit
 Space telescopes 30–40 tons to the L2 Lagrange point in the Sun-Earth system

Reinhard von Koenig-Fachsenfeld. Reinhard Freiherr von Koenig-Fachsenfeld (19 March 1899, Stuttgart - 9 March 1992, Fachsenfeld) was a German engineer, inventor and racer of automobiles and motorcycles.

Biography 
His father was the nobleman, Freiherr Franz von Koenig-Fachsenfeld (1866-1918), a diplomat and art collector. After completing his primary education, he studied at the University of Stuttgart. 

In 1924, he was the first person, riding a Cotton motorcycle, in the 250 cc class, to win the  (motorcycle road championship). The following year, he won the Solituderennen, and broke several speed records. This motivated him to study vehicular aerodynamics. 

In the late 1920s, he became the first person in Germany to file fundamental patents on the subject, with improvements based on the work of the Austrian engineer, Paul Jaray, who had filed patents in 1922. At the beginning of the 1930s, he began to move away from Jaray's work, into independent research, conducted in cooperation with the Research Institute for Automotive Engineering and Vehicle Engines (FKFS). As part of his work, he designed several test vehicles that broke speed records. He also designed streamlined bodies for sedans, that were used by several major manufacturers. 

His greatest success was the aerodynamically designed Mercedes-Benz SSKL, a two-seater racing version of the SSK, which was produced by  (body and vehicle construction) in Bad Cannstatt. With this vehicle, Manfred von Brauchitsch won a race on the AVUS track in Berlin in 1932. Under his direction, a streamlined car, based on the Maybach-Motorenbau SW 38, was created; commissioned by the tire manufacturer, . It was used by them for testing tires, and reached a top speed of 200km (roughly 124 miles) per hour. It disappeared during World War II.

In 1982, he created the  Foundation, to preserve his father's castle and provide for public access. The castle features an exhibit on vehicular aerodynamics, as well as an extensive art collection, featuring works by Hermann Pleuer and Otto Reiniger. The Foundation also awards a prize "for new technological solutions that meet pressing social challenges, display engineering courage, or make a significant contribution to sustainable scientific and technological progress", presented every two years.

Ecurie Ecosse LM69. The Ecurie Ecosse LM69 is a sports car manufactured by Ecurie Cars Ltd - a Joint Venture between Building The Legend, Ecurie Ecosse & Design Q. The car is meant to be both a tribute to the Jaguar XJ13 and a race car built in compliance with the 1969 Le Mans regulations.

Concept

Originally commissioned by Neville Swales of Building The Legend Limited, the LM69 was developed as a homage to the 1966 Jaguar XJ13 race car which was intended to participate to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. However, changes in the homologation rules made the XJ13 suddenly obsolete. Jaguar halted the project and the only built XJ13, not being able to enter any race, was put in storage.

The LM69 was never intended to be an exact replica of the XJ13; rather, Ecurie Ecosse tried to imagine what the XJ13 might have looked like if Jaguar continued its development until 1969. This explains the marked retro design, as well as the absence of post-1960s technology: the LM69 would have complied with any 1969 Le Mans regulation, thus virtually allowing Scottish racing team Ecurie Ecosse to participate to the 1969 event (hence its name) and racing in the same league of the Ford GT40 and Porsche 917.

Design
The car was commissioned by Neville Swales of Building The Legend Limited and designed by Howard Guy and his team at Design Q Unlike the heavier all-aluminium XJ13, the LM69's body is made of both aluminium and composite materials, covering a purpose-built chassis. The LM69 also sports a closed cockpit, a more refined aerodynamics and wider tires. The mid-mounted engine lies under a transparent deck lid.

Specifications
The LM69 uses a mid-mounted, quad-cam, V12 engine designed as a near-period reproduction, and called tera. It is based on the same design of the original Jaguar power unit, and comes with either 6.1 L, or its stroked version developed by Neville Swales with capacity expanded to 6.8 L. Distribution and injection are standard for the period; modern, electronic optional for the latter would be available. The transmission includes a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Ecurie Ecosse did not provide official performance specifications for the LM69 besides the claim that the 6.8 L version would exceed .The car is purportedly able to accelerate from 0 to  in 3.2 seconds and to reach a top speed of . By comparison, the original 5.0 L V12 engine of the XJ13 had an output of  which could bring the Jaguar up to  in fifth gear.

Production

Only 25 units of the LM69 are planned to be produced, which is exactly the minimum requirement for the 1969 FIA homologation. Each car would be hand-built in England at the Ecurie Cars factory, and is priced £875,000 ($1.54 million) for the standard configuration. Despite its background as a race car, the LM69 is road-legal at least in the United Kingdom.
The first built LM69 was exhibited at the 2020 International Concours d'Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, London.

Ledex. Ledex produces a line of motorized solenoids and electric switches used in a wide variety of industrial applications. The original product used a ratcheting system to provide one-way motion so that every activation advanced the switch one position. The company used the same concept to develop a number of similar products and later branched out to the wider industrial switching market. Over time the term has become generic and can now refer to any similar motorized switch. Ledex was founded by G.H. Leland. Its predecessor was GH Leland Engineering in Dayton Ohio. Patents were filed on its behalf in 1950. 

The company is currently owned by Hong Kong company, Johnson Electric, and Ledex Solenoids are sold under Johnson Electric Industrial. Johnson Electric in North America is located north of Dayton Ohio.

Notable History
George H. Leland worked as a designer at General Electric before founding Leland Electric Company. He invented and patented a rotary solenoid during World War II, and after that first company declined to pursue the product, he founded his second company - Leland Development and Engineering Company - later called Ledex, Inc. 

Six of their Syncramental Servo-Step motors rode along on John Glenn's Mercury capsule Friendship 7 in America's first crewed orbital spacecraft, February 20, 1962. Mariner IV used a Ledex rotary solenoid to actuate the onboard camera to take the first pictures of Mars from Martian orbit. Surveyor used Ledex stepping motors to orient the data antenna after landing on the Moon. Apollo spacecraft used Ledex rotary solenoids to release the spring loaded latches located between the Command Module and the Lunar Landing Module to complete hard docking of the two modules.

Pierre-Eugène Lamairesse. Pierre-Eugène Lamairesse (14 July 1817 – 17 April 1898) was a French civil and mining engineer. A former student of the École Polytechnique, he was in charge of dams and other irrigation projects in Pondicherry and Karaikal in India between 1860 and 1866. He is best known for his translation of the Tirukkural and other ancient Indian works into French.

Early life
Lamairesse was born on 14 July 1817 in Châlons-en-Champagne, France. He was the youngest son of Jean-Baptiste-Cyprien Lamairesse, a farmer and member of the Agricultural Society of Châlons. He graduated from the École Polytechnique.

Career

During his stay in India, Lamairesse supervised many irrigation projects in Pondicherry and Karaikal between 1860 and 1866. With the help of the government in Madras, he transported a large collection of statues from several abandoned temples of the Tamil land, which were presented at the World Fairs of 1867 and 1878 and later offered to the Museum of Fine Arts and Archeology at Châlons-en-Champagne.

Literary works
A polyglot, he translated many South Indian works including the Tirukkural. His Kural translation was published in 1867. He also wrote on various subjects such as Japanese civilization, the Koran, the Buddha, and the hydrology of France, Algeria and India. Towards the end of his career, he moved to Algeria. His other translations include the Kamasutra (1891) and Prem Sagar (1893). He died on 17 April 1898 in Marengo (present-day Hadjout).
