Blériot 53. The Blériot 53 was a twin-engined reconnaissance biplane designed and built in France during 1915, (There is some doubt that the aircraft was actually given the designation Blériot 53). The Fuselage was partly covered with fabric leaving most of the rear fuselage un-covered, all-flying tailplane and rudder at the rear extremities, with a tail-skid underneath. To accommodate the nose down attitude when fully loaded, due to the centre of gravity coinciding with the mainwheels, there was a long skid extending from the forward fuselage. Two   Le Rhône 9C rotary engines were mounted on struts between the wings with fuel and oil tanks in the nacelles behind them. Trials were also believed to have been carried out with  Anzani 10 radial engines.

HeliOperations. HeliOperations is a British helicopter company based on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England, at the old Naval Air Station of RNAS Portland (HMS Osprey) providing training and services.

History 
From 2017 HeliOperations primarily operated three former Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Westland Sea King helicopters. Operations took place at the former RNAS Portland (HMS Osprey). The aircraft were owned by the Ministry of Defence, but were leased to the company to provide training services to the German Navy Marineflieger and other private customers. Following the retirement of the helicopters from the Fleet Air Arm, HeliOperations is the last operator of Westland Sea King helicopters in the United Kingdom.

In May 2022, the company acquired an AgustaWestland AW139 SAR helicopter.

In late 2022, two of the companies Sea King helicopters were transferred to the Ukrainian Air Force.

Shannan Moynihan. Shannan Moynihan is the Deputy Chief of Space and Occupational Medicine at the Johnson Space Center. She has acted as crew surgeon for International Space Station missions.

Education and early career 
As a child, Moynihan wanted to become an astronaut. She studied aeronautical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She studied medicine at New York University and graduated in 1999. She completed a residency in emergency medicine at the University of Florida. She completed a Masters in public health and aerospace medicine in Houston.

Career 
Moynihan worked as a flight surgeon at the University of Texas Medical Branch Wyle Laboratories. She was part of the Medical Operations team for the C-9 Familiarization Flight. She joined NASA in 2008. She manages the medical care for the occupants of interplanetary spacecraft. Around this time, Moynihan noticed that long duration astronauts were coming back with distinct visual changes. She has since been studying Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome, and sent an optical coherence tomography scanner up to the ISS.

She was part of the NASA twins study, monitoring astronaut Scott Kelly and his brother Mark Kelly. In 2016 she published practical considerations that must be taken for women astronauts on the International Space Station. She is concerned about reproductive viability, bone health, menopausal status and nutrition. Moynihan relies on telemedicine to provide health care to astronauts on board the International Space Station. The astronauts use a colour-coded ultrasound machine and make calls to Moynihan using a VoIP phone. During a sixth-month mission, one of the astronauts, who suffered with a history of knee injury, developed a persistent pain. This was assessed using ultrasound, where images were live streamed back to the planet Earth.

She took part in the BBC documentary Women with the Right Stuff and the book Promised the Moon. She appeared in the Channel 4 documentary, Live from Space. She is affiliated with San Jacinto Methodist Hospital.

Admiralty Underwater Weapons Launching Establishment. The Admiralty Underwater Weapons Launching Establishment was an Admiralty research department dedicated to torpedo and mine launching gear. It was formed at West Howe, Bournemouth in 1947 and later became part of the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment in 1959.

History
The Admiralty's production of and research and development into launching gear for torpedoes and mines was originally carried out within facilities at HMNB Portsmouth from 1914. During World War II, with the threat of German air raids, all research and production of launching gear was moved to new premises at West Howe in 1941. Although production was relocated again in 1947, the establishment at West Howe continued to undertake research and development work. That year it was given the name the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Launching Establishment. An outstation at Horsea Island was used to conduct trials.

The establishment was closed in 1959 with the formation of the Admiralty Underwater Weapons Establishment at the Isle of Portland. The new establishment was an amalgamation of a number of Admiralty research sites, including the Launching Establishment, the Underwater Countermeasures and Weapons Establishment at Havant and the Torpedo Experimental Establishment at Greenock.

Following its closure, the West Howe site was purchased by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority as an additional facility in connection with the Winfrith Atomic Energy Establishment. The site was sold again to the General Post Office in 1967.

Transcend Air Vy 400. The Transcend Air Vy 400 is a tiltwing convertible aircraft under development by American startup Transcend Air.

Development

In September 2018, Transcend was flying two electric-powered, one-fifth-scale prototypes to evaluate aerodynamics of the vertical and forward flight transition.
It should be followed by a half-scale prototype powered by a smaller PT6 to demonstrate the drive train.
A 2019 Series A round would fund a full-scale crewed prototype flying in 18–24 months, for a 2023 end certification.
A manufacturing partner is sought to certify the aircraft for $350–500 million and produce it.
By November 2018, Transcend had selected VerdeGo Aero to provide hybrid electric propulsion systems after the turbine version.

The company wants to establish a short-haul scheduled airline between barges in 46 cities like Boston-New York/Washington, San Francisco-Los Angeles/San Diego or Montreal-Toronto, for less door-to-door cost than the combined cost of existing airlines plus ground transport while avoiding paying for an empty re-positioning leg like air charters, but is skeptical about the on-demand model behind urban air mobility.

In August 2023, Transcend Air announced the development of a larger model, the Vy 421, powered by twin CT7-8 engines. The aircraft has been redesigned to carry seven passengers.

Design

The aircraft would be certified under the FAR Part 23 commuter category, with industry standards for compliance and elements of helicopters FAR Part 27.
Steep approaches and departures is intended to minimize noise and airspace issues.

Its single  Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6-67F turboshaft from the drives wingtip proprotors via gearboxes and shafts, with collective and a  electric tail fan for flight controls with fly-by-wire envelope protection.
The cabin is larger than a high-performance turboprop single like the TBM 930 with  wide seats and enough leg room for  tall passengers, and it would have landing skids not wheels.

With a maximum takeoff weight of  and a useful load of  for fuel and a payload of five  passengers with overnight bags, its range would be  at .

Blériot 71. The Blériot Bl.71 BN.3 was a large First World War French heavy biplane night bomber designed and built by Blériot to the BN.3 three-seat night bomber specification. Only a single prototype was built, which was damaged beyond repair on 15 May 1918.

Design and development
The Blériot Bl.71 was a large equal-span biplane with a fuselage braced between the two wings and bearing a strong resemblance to the Bl.67, (originally designed with the fuselage attached to the lower mainplane). Four  Hispano-Suiza 8B water-cooled V-8 engines were mounted above each other on each side of the fuselage, two on the upper wing leading edge and two on the lower wing. The biplane tail unit was originally designed with three fins, but eventually built with just two and the fixed conventional landing gear had four-wheel main units on struts and a tailskid. During flight testing the Bl.71 collided with a Breguet Br.14 B.2 at Villacoublay on 15 May 1918, ending up in a ditch, damaged beyond repair.

G4-class freighter. The G4 class is a series of five combination roll-on/roll-off cargo ships (ConRO) that are operated by the Atlantic Container Line (ACL) and entered service in the mid-2010s.  They are named Atlantic Star, Atlantic Sail, Atlantic Sea, Atlantic Sky, and Atlantic Sun.

History

Early design work for a new ConRO design began at International Maritime Advisors, which finished the basic plans in 2008.  Knud E. Hansen modified the design to ACL specifications, and in July 2012 the construction contract for five ships was awarded to Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding.  Construction began with steel-cutting for the first ship, at the time unnamed, in September 2013. In October 2014, ACL announced the names of the ships in the fleet, having selected them from employee suggestions.

The first ship of the class, Atlantic Star, was launched in November 2014 and was planned to enter service in mid-2015, but ACL did not take delivery of the vessel until October 2015 and her maiden voyage did not occur until early 2016.  The remaining four ships were delivered over the course of 2016, beginning with Atlantic Sail in April.

The entire fleet had originally been planned to enter service in 2015, but construction at the shipyard was delayed due to challenges building to the brand new design.  Immediately following their entry into service, problems with the quality of major components license-built in Asia to European designs were identified, requiring drydocking of the vessels for replacement of the faulty parts.

Design
The G4 class is the largest ConRO design in the world, slightly larger than the preceding 1980s-built G3 class but with significantly more cargo capacity.  They are  long, with a beam of  and a draft of , and have a gross tonnage of 100,430 GT, with a deadweight tonnage of 55, 649 DWT.  Each ship is driven by a Wärtsilä RT-flex68D eight-cylinder low speed diesel engine with a power output of  that gives a service speed of up to .  There are three Wärtsilä thrusters installed for maneuvering, two at the bow and one at the stern.  Shipboard power is supplied by a  generator driven by the main engine, as well as four Yanmar gensets that have a total of .

There are seven decks for roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) cargo, totaling 5,270 lane meters and  of space, with a 3,807 TEU container capacity.  In contrast to typical ConRO designs, which carry containers abovedecks and RoRo cargo below with the superstructure situated aft, G4 vessels carry exclusively containers at the bow through the entire depth of the hull, with RoRo garage space primarily amidships in and below the superstructure, and containers above decks at the stern, with Ro/Ro space and the machinery belowdecks.  This configuration allows for greater cargo capacity, as well as lower ballast requirements.  Unusually for cargo vessels, the G4 design does not include a bulbous bow, instead specifying a vertical prow that is more efficient across a wide range of cargo loads and sea conditions.
