Koncepto Millenya. The Koncepto Millenya, or simply Millenya, is a concept for a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) ultralight aircraft developed by Kyxz Mendiola. Often referred to as a "flying car" the aircraft was developed by its inventor as a means to cope with heavy road traffic in Manila.

Background
The Millenya ultralight aircraft was developed by Kyxz Mendiola, a Filipino drone enthusiast. Mendiola, who taught himself engineering and aircraft design, cited his "extreme" feeling towards the concept of flying as his motive for pursuing the project and was motivated even more as he learns about efforts from different countries in developing similar endeavours. He also named the deteriorating traffic situation in Metro Manila as a motivator in developing the Millenya and envisioned people flying to their destination in minutes instead them spending two to three hours riding traditional road transport. Millenya's inventor has described his creation as a "flying sports car".

Design and development
Kyxz Mendiola began developing Millenya in the early 2010s, using his own money to fund his project in its early years of development. Friends and relatives later helped him in his project. Millions of pesos and at least six years has been spent for the development of the aircraft. 

Mendiola has named "disappointment, mocking and discouraging words" as a hindrance to the development of the Millenya. He intends the vehicle to be similar to a sports car; a "flying Lamborghini". Trial and error method is used with Mendiola experimenting with different parts. In at least one test, his vehicle caught fire. In September 2018, the aircraft had its first public maiden flight in Batangas. After a video featuring the aircraft went viral in social media, Australian firm Star8 has expressed interest in partnering with Mendiola to develop Millenya for mass production.

The vehicle is a single-seater vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. Millenya is reinforced by a metal frame covered with carbon fiber shell. As of September 2018, the aircraft can carry a payload of  and can fly at . It has flown at a height of  and has flown 10 to 15 minutes at a time. It is powered by six lithium-ion batteries, taking around two and a half hours to charge completely. The vehicle is controllable by its lone passenger through a portable radio frequency controller; the vehicle controls its altitude through a button while it can maneuver through a steering stick. Devising "multicopter" technology frequently used in drones, Millenya achieves flight through its 16 rotary motors which is designed in a way that the vehicle can still fly safely even if one or two motors are compromised.

Future project
A two-seater aircraft which has a payload capacity of  is planned for development..

Shear vane test. The shear vane test is a method of measuring the undrained shear strength of a cohesive soil.  The test is carried out with equipment consisting of a rod with vanes mounted to it that is inserted into the ground and rotated.  A gauge on the top of the rod measures the torque required to cause failure of the soil and provides a conversion to shear strength.  The equipment has been in use since at least 1948. The equipment has also been used since at least 1967 to assess the shear strength of packs of snow at risk of forming a slab avalanche.

Equipment used 
The shear vane consists of a straight rod with four vanes on one end, arranged in a cruciform pattern, and a combined handle/torque gauge.  The rod is inserted into the soil to a depth of 500mm and rotated at a rate of between 6 and 12 degrees per minute.  Once the soil fails in shear the gauge shows the maximum torque applied.  The gauge is marked with a scale that converts the torque into a shear strength (measured in kiloNewtons per square metre).  There are two scales for use with two different sizes of vane –  vanes are used for soils with shear strengths up to 50 kN/m2 and  vanes for stronger soils.  In the United Kingdom the methodology is governed by British Standard 1377 (Methods of test for soils for civil engineering purposes).

The shear vane is a simple and portable piece of equipment.  The test is suitable for clay soils classified as soft to firm.  By remoulding the sample and retesting an indication of the sensitivity of the clay can also be found.  The test has also been used to measure the shear strength of mortar mixes, where it has been shown to correlate with the slump value.  The equipment has also been used since at least 1967 to assess the shear strength of packs of snow at risk of forming a slab avalanche.

History and research 
The test was pioneered by L Carlson and AW Skempton in 1948.  There has been some dispute over its accuracy since then.  Carlson and Skempton believed that it provided a higher value than that indicated by unconfined compressive tests and in fact agreed better with the values expected in geotechnical theory.  However 1973 research claimed that the test actually provided an under-estimate of shear strength compared to compressive tests where a good quality of sample is obtainable.  The discrepancy has been attributed to the disturbance of the sample caused by the insertion of the shear vane.

Substructure (engineering). The substructure of a building transfers the load of the building to the ground and isolates it horizontally from the ground. This includes foundations and basement retaining walls. It is differentiated from the superstructure.
It safeguards the building against the forces of wind, uplift, soil pressure etc. It provides a level and firm surface for the construction of superstructure. It also prevents unequal or differential settlement and ensures stability of the building against sliding, overturning, undermine due to floodwater or burrowing animals.
