Miles M.26. Miles M.26 was the designation used to cover the family of X-series design proposals, for long-range transport aircraft. The common factors of most X design proposals were the use of a blended wing body and engines buried in the wings, based on principles patented by Nicolas Woyevodsky. A sub-scale prototype of the X.9 proposal was constructed, designated the Miles M.30.

Variants
Data from: Miles aircraft since 1925
X.2
The X.2 design was first published in Flight in 1938, from work begun in 1936. A projected 300 mph 38-seat transport of about 48,000 lb loaded with 1,000 mile range, it did not use a lifting body fuselage. Initial design powered by four unspecified  air-cooled Rolls-Royce piston engines. Span , gross weight . Met with a cool reaction by the Air Ministry only receiving a paltry £25,000 development contract and a wooden mock-up to Specification 42/37.
X.3A projected six-engined variant.
X.4 to X.8 Variants of the X blended wing theme which didn't proceed further than the concept stage, including an eight-engined transatlantic airliner. (X.8)
X.9A design for a four-engined transport, submitted to the Ministry of Aircraft Production (MAP) in Autumn of 1942, powered by four Rolls-Royce Griffon V-12 piston engines and fitted with retractable tricycle undercarriage.
X.10 A small twin-engined airliner / transport, following the blended wing concept but with externally mounted engines.
X.11After the Brabazon Committee released the Type I specification (later developed into Air Ministry Specification 2/44) for the post-war transatlantic airliner, only to Bristol, F.G. Miles unofficially submitted a design based on the Xseries of blended wing aircraft. The X.11 was to be eight-engined, with high cruising speed (for 1943), high wing loading and low power loading, seating at least 50 passengers, but was rejected. (Span , gross weight ).
X.12 A bomber version of the X.11
X.13 A troop transport version of the X.11
X.14 After rejection of the X.11, Miles was unofficially encouraged to submit a design for a smaller aircraft not competing with the Brabazon specifications, powered by four  Bristol Centaurus radial engines, with a span of  and gross weight of ). This submission was also summarily rejected.
X.15A revised X.14, to be powered by six Napier Sabre H-24 in-line engines.
Miles M.30 X-Minor sub-scale aerodynamic test-bed / research aircraft for the X.9 project.

Miles M.64 L.R.5. The Miles M.64 L.R.5 was a two-seat light aircraft, designed in the United Kingdom, for private and club use in 1944-1945.

Design and development
A small band of enthusiasts at Miles' Liverpool road factory, (L.R.5 - 5th design from Liverpool Road) gained permission from |George Miles]] to design and build a light aircraft for possible production after the end of the Second World War. Miles gave his permission and also agreed to the company supplying any materials required.

The L.R.5 emerged in 1945 as a single-engined, wooden, low-wing monoplane with a fixed tricycle undercarriage, powered by a  Blackburn Cirrus Minor 4-cylinder, air-cooled, inverted, in-line piston aircraft engine. The spacious side-by-side configuration cockpit was covered by a large plexiglas canopy with car-type entry doors on both sides. The undercarriage included levered sprung main legs and a steerable nosewheel.

Due to disappointing flight test results and higher priority given to established production aircraft, development of the L.R.5 was abandoned.

Operational history
George Miles flew the prototype, which had been allocated the experimental registration U-0253 (later U-6), on 3 June 1945, but although flight test results were disappointing at low speeds, on take-off and landing, the L.R.5 was pleasant to fly and had excellent visibility.

Symplectite. A symplectite (or symplektite) is a material texture: a micrometre-scale or submicrometre-scale intergrowth of two or more crystals. Symplectites form from the breakdown of unstable phases, and may be composed of minerals, ceramics, or metals. Fundamentally, their formation is the result of slow grain-boundary diffusion relative to interface propagation rate.

If a material undergoes a change in temperature, pressure or other physical conditions (e.g., fluid composition or activity), one or more phases may be rendered unstable and recrystallize to more stable constituents. If the recrystallized minerals are fine grained and intergrown, this may be termed a symplectite. A cellular precipitation reaction, in which a reactant phase decomposes to a product phase with the same structure as the parent phase and a second phase with a different structure, can form a symplectite. Eutectoid reactions, involving the breakdown of a single phase to two or more phases, neither of which is structurally or compositionally identical to the parent phase, can also form symplectites.

Symplectites may be formed by reaction between adjacent phases or to decomposition of a single phase. The intergrown phases may be planar or rodlike, depending on the volume proportions of the phases, their interfacial free energies, the rate of reaction, the Gibbs free energy change, and the degree of recrystallization. Lamellar symplectites are common in retrogressed eclogite. Kelyphite is a symplectite formed from the decomposition of garnet. Myrmekite is a globular or bulbous symplectite of quartz in plagioclase.

Examples of symplectites formed in Earth materials include 
dolomite + calcite, aragonite + calcite, and magnetite + clinopyroxene. 
Symplectite formation is important in metallurgy: bainite or pearlite formation from the decomposition of austenite, for example.

Fisher FP-101. The Fisher FP-101 is an American single-seat, high-wing, conventional landing gear, tractor configuration single engine ultralight aircraft that was available in kit form from Lite Flite of South Webster, Ohio and later Fisher Flying Products of Edgeley, North Dakota.

Development
The FP-101 was designed by Michael Fisher of Lite Flite and first flown in the middle of 1982. It was intended to meet the requirements of the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles category, including that category's maximum  empty weight. The company name was later changed to Fisher Flying Products and production continued under that company name until the FP-101 was supplanted in production by the Fisher FP-202 Koala.

The aircraft is of predominantly wooden construction, with a wooden geodesic (called "geodetic" in many '80s sport-aviation magazines, likely in error) fuselage and wood framed wings and tail surfaces all covered in doped aircraft fabric. The high wing is supported by aluminum "V" struts with jury struts. The control system is standard three-axis type including ailerons, elevators and tail-mounted rudder. The conventional configuration fixed main landing gear is made from steel tube with bungee suspension, while the tail wheel is steerable. The engine cowling is built from fiberglass. Pilot access to the cockpit is via a fold-down door on the right-hand side of the fuselage. The windshield is fashioned from Lexan and side windows are optional.

The standard powerplant when the aircraft was introduced was the  Rotax 277 single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant driving a two-bladed wooden propeller. Recoil start was standard, with electric start as optional.

The standard empty weight for the FP-101 was  and the gross weight , giving a  useful load.

Operational history
The majority of FP-101s were delivered to customers in the United States where they are flown as unregistered ultralights. In October 2009 eight were registered in the US as Experimental - Amateur-builts and eleven were registered in Canada as basic ultra-light aeroplanes.

Shvetsov M-71. The Shvetsov M-71 was a Soviet radial engine built in small numbers during World War II. It was derived from the Shvetsov M-25, which was a license-built copy of the American Wright R-1820-F3 Cyclone engine.

Development
The M-71 was developed from the Shvetsov M-70, a failed attempt at a two-row version of the single-row Wright R-1820 Cyclone. It used components from the Shvetsov M-63, which was an improved version of the M-25 with more horsepower than the original. Development began at the beginning of 1939 and it was bench tested that August, but did not pass its State acceptance tests until the autumn of 1942. It weighed  and produced . It was flight-tested in a Polikarpov I-185 prototype fighter in March–April 1942.

A boosted version, the M-71F, was built in small numbers. It was flown in the prototypes of the single-engined Sukhoi Su-6 and the twin-engined Sukhoi Su-8 ground-attack aircraft in 1943–44 as well as the Lavochkin La-7 fighter in 1944. A version of the M-71F was developed with two TK-3 turbochargers and flight tested in the DVB-102 high-altitude bomber designed by Vladimir Myasishchev during the summer of 1943. Evaluations of the M-71 were generally favorable, but no production capacity was available to use for a brand-new engine during the war.

Olex2. Olex and Olex2 are versatile software for crystallographic research. Olex used to be a research project developed during PhD to implement topological (as connectivity) analysis of polymeric chemical structures and still is widely used around the world. Olex2 is an open source project with the C++ code portable to Windows, Mac and Linux. Although the projects share the common name they are not related at the source code level.

Olex 
The Olex program is designed for the analysis of extended structural networks. It only runs on Windows systems and source code is available only on request. It allows packing the structure, constructing the topological network and the evaluation of the networks Schläfli and vertex symbols and to produce raster pictures of the model visible on screen. This kind of the topological network analysis is normally done to find relevance of considered structures and possibly to predict physical properties of the investigated material.

Olex2 is a relatively mature open source software with a BSD licence which provides tools for crystallographic structure solution, refinement, and final report preparation. It is still in the stage of active development. Olex2 provides numerous tools for structure analysis and publication, including Fourier maps, void calculation and visualisation, space group determination, calculation of esd's for almost any possible geometrical parameters, CIF translation to HTML and other document formats, hydrogen atom placement, and many others. Olex2 can also provide the final graphic output as raster images or PostScript, Ortep-like or POV-Ray output.

The independent GUI for the Olex2 platform is provided by wxWidgets. Olex2 has an extended HTML based interface, enhanced by Pillow and OpenGL graphics. The software is provided as pre-built binaries for Windows, Mac and Linux as well as in the source code form. Several build scripts (SCons, CMake and make) are provided to help with Olex2 development, but only SCons is supported throughout and used for each release update. Any problems and bugs have to be reported to the supporters, now under OlexSys Ltd.

As a GUI Olex2 is built from two components - the Olex2 core, written in C++ and exposing the underlying model to the GUI, which is mostly based on Python code. This segregation allows extending Olex2 with custom scripts and exploiting its functionality by the user at various levels, such as Miller index operations, file manipulations, and many others.

Olex2 provides a set of commercial extensions:
 3DPlus: provides a way to output STL, VRML and PLY files for 3D printing
 ReportPlus: professional-looking structure determination reports including the ability to combine structures

Hunting Aerosurveys. Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd was a British aerial photography company founded by Percy Hunting in 1944.  Its operations became more diversified under the name Hunting Surveys.

History
The firm incorporated Aerofilms Ltd and the Aircraft Operating Company.  In 1947 it was using three types of aircraft: Austers, a Percival Proctor and a de Havilland Dragon Rapide and planned to acquire one or more Percival Mergansers.  The company had contracts for work surveying for tin mining in Nigeria; oil in Arabia, Venezuela and Colombia; timber in Ontario; and mapping in Australia & Hong Kong (in 1963).

Between 1957 and 1964, Hunting operated a specially converted Auster Autocar for smaller scale aerial survey work.

In 1960 the firm was merged with Hunting Geophysics Ltd to form Hunting Surveys Ltd.  Threatened with closure in the mid-1980s, it was merged with sister company Hunting Aerofilms Ltd to become simply Aerofilms Ltd in 1987. The new company was able to provide state-of-the-art serial survey work and associated mapping, with the oblique aerial photography that Aerofilms had been undertaking since 1919. In 1997 the company was sold to Simmons Mapping in Somerset, a move that ultimately led to the complete closure of the oblique photography business (and its long-established photo library) in 2006, with the vertical / survey side of the business passing to the Somerset operation.

Woolstenhulmes & Rye. Woolstenhulmes & Rye was a company that manufactured stationary steam engines.  It was based in Oldham, Lancashire, England.  The company produced large steam-driven engines for textile mills in Oldham and elsewhere.

History
Abraham Seville & Co started business in 1821 in Mumps, Oldham as roller makers for textile machinery. By 1828, William Woolstenhulme had entered the business, they had moved to the Lower Moor Ironworks and were spindle makers, iron and brass founders. The name was changed to Seville and Woolstenhulme. The business expanded and by 1846 they were employing 250 workers and were manufacturing self-acting mules and power looms. In 1854 they exhibited a 12 hp steam engine.

William Rye, an engineer from Manchester, entered the business in 1840 and married the senior partner's daughter in 1842. When Seville retired in 1855, Rye took the partnership. The firm became Woolstenhulme & Rye. About this time they closed the machine-making side of the business and concentrated on producing steam engines for the mills. Rye was mayor of Oldham in 1868. He was responsible for construction of Albert's Mount housing in Derker. The company was incorporated in 1873.

Woolstenhulme & Rye engines are said to be conservative in design, and although Gurr & Hunt claim that there was no evidence that the company had ever used Corliss valves, in his Black Book engine list, Arthur Roberts documents their use in Parkfield Mill. This engine was a 1,200-hp cross-compound engine. It had a  HP (high pressure) cylinder,  LP (low pressure) cylinder, with a  stroke. It was steamed at 140 psi. The  flywheel ran at 52 rpm. Transmission was by a geared drive. There were Corliss valves on the HP cylinder and slide valves on the LP, in fact a classic Lancashire configuration. The air pump was driven by a bell crank from the LP tail rod.

Mills driven by their engines
Woolstenhulme & Rye produced mill engines in the 1860s, but their principal period of production was in the 1870s, when they produced 17 engines giving a total of 10,970 ihp, and in the 1880s, when they made 22 engines giving 11,000 ihp, before they fell into financial difficulties and were liquidated in 1888.
