List of Blohm & Voss aircraft. The aircraft listed here were all designed by the aircraft manufacturing company associated with Blohm & Voss shipbuilders of Hamburg, Germany. The company changed its name several times, from Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH to Blohm & Voss Abteilung Flugzeugbau, and back to Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH (HFB). Some types therefore carry designations for more than one name. Many of the company's design studies were never built but are nevertheless of significant technical or historical interest. Less significant designs, other company's types manufactured under contract and joint projects under other names are not listed. Blohm and Voss made planes for the luftwaffe.

Phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury. Phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury is an organomercury compound with the formula C6H5HgCCl3.  It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents.  The compound is used as a source of dichlorocarbene, e.g. in cyclopropanation reactions, illustrated with tetrachloroethylene as a substrate, the product being hexachlorocyclopropane:
C6H5HgCCl3  →  C6H5HgCl  +  CCl2
CCl2  +  Cl2C=CCl2  →   C3Cl6

The compound is prepared by treating  with sources of dichlorocarbene. These include the base/haloform reaction and thermolysis of sodium trichloroacetate:
NaO2CCCl3  +  C6H5HgCl  →  C6H5HgCCl3  +  NaCl  +  CO2

Related compounds
Closely related compounds include phenyl(bromodichloromethyl)mercury (CAS registry number 3294-58-4) and phenyl(tribromomethyl)mercury (CAS registry number 3294-60-8).  According to X-ray crystallography, the former has nearly linear coordination geometry at mercury, with a C-Hg-C angle of 179° and Hg-C distances of 2.047 Å.

Winner B150. The Winner B150 is a Belgian helicopter that was designed and produced by Winner SBS of Dinant. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied complete and ready-to-fly-aircraft or as a kit for amateur construction.

Design and development
The B150 was designed to comply with the French CNSK rules. It features a single main rotor and tail rotor, a two-seats-in side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit with a bubble windshield, skid landing gear and a  Solar T62T-32 turboshaft engine.

The aircraft fuselage is made from aluminum and composites. Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of  and a chord of . The aircraft has a typical empty weight of  and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of . With full fuel of  the payload for the pilot, passenger and baggage is .

Reviewer Werner Pfaendler, describes the design as providing "easy and fun flying".

Production of the B150 was suspended due to deficiencies in the Solar T62 powerplant. The company said, "it was decided to abandon the Solar T62 turbine; this second-hand power source appeared to be obsolete, difficult to find in a proper condition and with limited performance". Instead the company redesigned the airframe to accept a  piston engine as the B200 and also a  TS100 turboshaft engine as the B250.

Blohm & Voss Ae 607. The Blohm & Voss Ae 607 was a jet-powered flying wing design drawn up by Blohm & Voss in 1945. Very little is known about it and its existence was only confirmed in 2017.

Background
Early in 1945, a Blohm & Voss (B&V) aircraft designer called Thieme began work on Drawing Number Ae 607, within the standard drawing numbering system at B&V. His design for a jet fighter was radically different from anything that B&V had done before. A flying wing, it approximated to a 45° delta planform.

Reports of its existence were not confirmed until 2017, when the drawing was published. No project number is recorded for the design and its intended status is unknown.

Design
An all-wing design, the centre section has a V-shaped lower profile deepening its keel and is sharply tapered both front and rear, while the outer sections are sharply swept at approximately 45° and tapered, giving the leading edge a sweep greater than 45° and the trailing edge an M-shaped outline from above. The wing tips are turned down, giving them a slight anhedral.

A jet engine duct runs down the centre, with the Heinkel-Hirth HeS 011 engine installed towards the rear. A small tail fin is placed above the jet exhaust duct, while the pilot's cockpit is set just in front of the engine, but still well aft, and is offset to one side to give the pilot room alongside the intake duct. It is covered by a teardrop canopy. Two small, low aspect ratio and untapered canard foreplanes sweep forward from either side of the nose intake.

The undercarriage comprises main wheels retracting outwards and twin tailwheels retracting on either side of the engine exhaust duct. On the ground, it sits with a marked nose-up attitude.

The aircraft's estimated performance is unknown.

MIR-2. MIR-2 () is the version of the MIR computer developed by the Institute of Cybernetics of the Academy of Sciences of Ukrainian SSR under the guidance of Victor Glushkov. It was first produced in 1969.

Overview
The speed of the MIR-2 machine is about 12,000 operations per second. The capacity of the random access memory (12-μs circulation cycle) is 8,000 13-bit symbols. The read-only memory has a capacity of about 1.6 million bits with a cycle of 4 μs, which is enough to store several tens of thousands of micro-commands. There is a buffer memory for output information with a volume of 4000 10-bit words. As external devices were used: input from punched tape, output to punched tape, electric typewriter Soemtron, magnetic card drive, vector graphic display with light pen.

As the input language in the MIR-2 machine, a special high-level language Analitik was used, which developed the concepts of the MIR-1 built-in programming language and additionally allowed the formulation of tasks with analytic transformations of formulas, allowing analytical expressions for derivatives and integrals.

Olivetti P6040. The Olivetti P6040 was a personal computer, described by its maker as a personal minicomputer. The P6040 was programmable in Mini BASIC and featured a floppy disk drive that used proprietary 2.5-inch sleeveless disks called "Minidisk". It was produced starting from 1977 and was the first microprocessor-based Olivetti computer, the Intel 8080, instead of on TTL logic CPU.

Designed by Pier Giorgio Perotto, it was presented at Hannover Messe in April 1975 together with the P6060, its hardware used TTL technology. Both had a brown-colored case.

The P6040 was little in dimensions and weight, thanks to the introduction of microprocessor (for the first time at Olivetti).

Another innovation in the model was the introduction of the light-emitting diode display. The design was by Mario Bellini.

Framestone. A framestone is a special type of carbonate rock in the Dunham classification.

Description 

The term "framestone" was not used in the original Dunham classification by Dunham (1962).

It first appeared in the modified Dunham classification by Embry and Klovan (1971) where it is described as an autochthonous limestone  having "in situ massive fossils which constructed a rigid three-dimensional framework during deposition. The in situ fossils therefore form the supporting framework of the rock, with matrix material occurring in the interstices between the fossils."

Lokier and Al Junaibi(2016) define a framestone as "an autochthonous carbonate-dominated rock supported by a rigid organic framework developed at the time of deposition."

Interpretive problems 
One possible problem in the interpretation of framestones is that the framework can be of different sizes from millimeters to meters, so they might not be present on the thin section. Some organisms can also be binding and build frames, so they might produce bindstones/boundstones and framestones. In some cases it might also be hard to decide whether a fossil was rigid or not during deposition.
