SM UB-85. SM UB-85 was a Type UB III U-boat in the German Imperial Navy () during World War I. Ordered on 23 September 1916, the U-boat was built at the AG Weser shipyard in Bremen and commissioned on 24 November 1917, under the command of Kapitänleutnant Günther Krech.

Construction

SM UB-85 was built by AG Weser of Bremen and following just under a year of construction, launched at Bremen on 26 October 1917, and was commissioned later that same year. Like all Type UB III submarines, UB-85 carried 10 torpedoes and was armed with a  deck gun. UB-85 would carry a crew of up to 3 officers and 31 men and had a cruising range of . UB-85 had a displacement of  while surfaced and  when submerged. Her engines enabled her to travel at  when surfaced and  when submerged.

Service history
On her second patrol, she was picked up by HM Drifter Coreopsis II  off the coast of Belfast, Northern Ireland on 30 April 1918, after she was partly flooded through a semi-open hatch while trying to evade attack by the British vessel. The ingress of water could not be controlled, since cables for a heater in the officers' compartment had previously been laid through a watertight door, by order of Kapt. Krech. The submarine was forced to surface and was abandoned by her crew while under fire. No casualties occurred amongst the 34 crew who were taken as prisoners of war.

Relationship with cryptozoology

Under interrogation, the captain is reported to have said that the submarine had surfaced the night before to recharge the batteries and had been attacked by a large sea creature, a "strange beast" that rose out of the deep and damaged the vessel, leaving it unable to submerge. The crew had fired their sidearms at the creature.

Wreck

Engineers working on an electricity cable, the Western HVDC Link, discovered the almost intact wreck of a UB-III class submarine, believed to be either UB-85 or , lying off the Galloway coast in October 2016. Dr Innes McCartney who identified the wreck said: "We are certainly closer to solving the so-called mystery of UB-85 and the reason behind its sinking - whether common mechanical failure or something that is less easily explained."

Brown B-2 Racer. The Brown B-2 Racer was an American-built small monoplane racing aircraft built in 1934.

Design and development
The B-2 Racer was built in 1934 by the Brown Aircraft Co. of Montebello, California, which had been founded by Lawrence W. Brown, previously of Clover Field, Santa Monica, California.

The aircraft, dubbed "Miss Los Angeles" was designed for competitive flying.  The low-winged monoplane was designed with a minimal cross-section to reduce drag.  It had an open single-person cockpit and a fixed tail-skid undercarriage like its predecessor, the B-1.

Operational history

"Miss Los Angeles" made her debut at the 1934 National Air Races fully decked out in a distinctive scarlet paint with lettering and accents in gold leaf. Entered in the inaugural three-race Greve Trophy competition and flown by Roy Minor, she took first place in speed with 213.257 mph.  Shortly thereafter "Miss Los Angeles" turned up at the Thompson Trophy race as the only "new" competitor and flew smartly for a second-place trophy.

The B-2 participated in the 1935 National Air Races flown by Marion McKeen, but could manage no better than fifth place for the Greve Trophy. McKeen piloted the plane again in the 1936 and 1937 races, finishing fifth each year.

"Miss Los Angeles" was absent from the 1938 racing season due to crash damage, but turned up at the National Air Races in 1939 with a cantilevered wing of a 21-foot span and retractable landing gear.  These modifications were undone when it was determined they were ineffective. During the Greve Trophy races, pilot Lee Williams experienced an engine failure while turning into the scatter pylon, stalled and crashed fatally.

A replica built by Ed Marquart for Bill Turner, renowned replicator of Golden Age racers is currently part of the collection at Fantasy of Flight in Polk City, Florida.

DAvE (Infineon). DAVE, or Digital Application Virtual Engineer, is a software development and code generation tool for microcontroller applications created in C/C++.

Versions

Version 4 (beta) 
The successor of the Eclipse-based development environment for C/C++ and/or GUI-based development using "Apps". It generates code for the latest XMC1xxx and XMC4xxx microcontrollers using Cortex-M processors. DAVE SDK is a free development environment to set up its own "Apps" for DAVE.

Version 3 
Automatic code generation is based on the use of case-oriented, configurable, and tested software (SW) components, called DAVE Apps. They are comparable to executable and configurable application notes that can be downloaded from the web. The environment is based on Eclipse. Ordinary program development using C/C++ is also available. The targets for this development are XMC1xxx and XMC4xxx microcontrollers that use ARM Cortex-M processors.

Previous versions 
This version targets 32-bit MCUs (TriCore AUDO family), 16-bit MCUs (C166, XC166, XE166, and XC2000 family), and 8-bit MCUs (XC800 family) from Infineon. After the initial setup, the configuration wizard appears and gives an overview of the hardware peripherals, control units, and modules. The microcontroller application can be created by selecting the desired functionality. At this step, module-specific functions have to be selected for module initialization and control. Finally, the application source files will be generated by DAVE and embedded in a project in the selected development environment, where one can still modify the code or add it to an existing project.

DAVE-related software 
Infineon also developed additional software that can be used in conjunction with DAVE for specific microcontroller families or additional hardware: DAVE Bench for XC800 is a platform providing free development tools for Infineon's 8-bit microcontroller family, based on the Open Source Eclipse architecture.
DAVE Drive is a GUI-based software tool that allows application developers to create embedded software for the control of brushless synchronous three-phase motors.

Alternative software 
The Infineon MCUs are directly supported by several commercial products, depending on the selected MCU target. An embedded coder library for Matlab exists. As a free alternative to DAVE, the developer can use the Keil Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK) Version 5. Code for the XMX1000 series up to 128 kB can be developed this way without purchasing a license from Keil.

Curtiss Model K. The Curtiss Model K, also known as the Model 4, was an American single-engined flying boat of World War I. It was an enlarged derivative of Curtiss's Model F and about 50 were built for export to the Imperial Russian Navy.

Design and development
In 1914, the Curtiss Aeroplane Company developed its Model K, an enlarged development of its successful Model F flying boat.  It was a three-bay biplane powered by a 150 hp (112 kW) Curtiss V-X engine mounted in a pusher configuration between the wings. Unlike the Model F, its wings were staggered and slightly swept, while its ailerons were mounted on the upper wing instead of between the wings.

The first flight of the Model K was delayed by problems with its engine until January 1915, with it being claimed that the aircraft was the largest single-engined flying boat in the world at the time.

Operational history
While the Model K did not attract orders from home, attempts to export it were more successful, resulting in an order for at least 51 aircraft in both flying boat and landplane versions from the Imperial Russian Navy in 1914. The crated aircraft were shipped via Vancouver and Vladivostok, resulting in serious delays in the aircraft being reassembled, such that many of them were unseaworthy due to their hulls having cracked.

Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Corporation. Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Corporation Limited known as Ameco Beijing is the largest aircraft maintenance supplier in China.

History

The company was founded in May 1989 by Air China as a 60/40 joint venture with minority partner Lufthansa under a joint venture agreement set to last for 15 years.  Each side made contributions to the joint venture with Air China providing 3,750 employees, the workflow of Air China maintenance, spare stocks, and a sprawling maintenance complex at Beijing Capital International Airport while Lufthansa provided an initial capital infusion of $37.6 million and technical and management support. The company was officially registered on 1 August 1989.

In the first few years, the company made major upgrades in facilities and training.  An apprentice training program was started in 1990 to train Chinese aircraft, engine, and avionics technicians.  The first class of 48 students graduated in 1992.  A new $65.6 million hangar was built in 1996 with enough space to fit four Boeing 747 wingtip to wingtip, allowing Ameco to perform heavy maintenance. In 2008, another new hangar was built to meet the maintenance demand of Airbus A380.

Services

In addition to the main facilities in Beijing, Ameco has 6 outstations in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin, Qingdao and Chengdu.

Early on the company gained foreign clients, painting aircraft for Northwest Airlines, Air New Zealand, and Korean Air.  It received its first European heavy maintenance orders in 1997 when Lufthansa started to move overhaul work from Hamburg headquarters to Ameco.

In 2005, United Airlines and Ameco signed a 5-year deal for heavy maintenance work on the entire fleet of 55 Boeing 777s.  The relationship expanded in 2010, when another 5-year contract was signed, including both the Boeing 747s and 777s fleets.  In the same year, Aeroflot signed a deal to send line check work on 4 Boeing 767s to Ameco.

Sopwith Admiralty Type 137. The Sopwith Admiralty Types 137 and 138 were a pair of single-engine, two-seat naval biplane floatplanes, built to a British Admiralty order in 1914.  They were similar in design, but having a more powerful engine the Type 138 was the larger and heavier.  They were used in early torpedo dropping experiments in 1914.

Design and development
The Admiralty Types 137 and 138 were built by Sopwiths to a contract calling for two similarly laid out floatplanes powered by different makes of engine of markedly different powers.  This requirement lead to the two aircraft having significantly different dimensions and weights. They were built in parallel and handed over to the Admiralty within a few days of each other in August 1914.

They were both biplanes, with round tipped constant chord wings connected by pairs of parallel interplane struts. The Type 137 was a standard two bay biplane but the 8 ft (2.4 m) larger span Type 138 had an additional small inner bay.  There was some stagger, though less on the Type 138.  The upper wing had the greater span, overhanging by 6 ft (1.8 m) on the Type 137 and by 4 ft (1.2 m) on the Type 138.  This overhang was braced with an extra pair of interplane struts, leaning outwards and attached to the lower wing at the same points as the outer vertical interplane struts. There were externally interconnected ailerons on both upper and lower wings.  The lower wings were attached to the bottom fuselage and the upper ones supported well above the cockpits by cabane struts.

The fuselage was a flat sided, wooden, cross braced girder structure.  This carried a conventional fin and rudder, plus a rectangular tailplane, mounted on top of the fuselage, with split elevators.  There were two cockpits in tandem, with the pilot seated aft.  Both types had long, flat sided floats with curved upper and lower surfaces, the latter with a single step.  These were attached to the fuselage with a fore and aft pair of inverted W-form struts, the latter leaf sprung. A similar, though smaller and unstepped third float was mounted on long struts beneath the tail, fitted with a water rudder.

The principal difference between the two types was the engine.  The smaller Type 137 was designed for, and initially flown with, a 120 hp (90 kW) six-cylinder inline water-cooled Austro-Daimler, while the Type 138 had a 200 hp (150 kW) Salmson 2M7 14-cylinder water-cooled radial.  Engine choice determined the shape of the nose: the inline engine had a rectangular radiator mounted in front of it, projecting slightly above the upper fuselage line, whereas the radial was uncowled, with a pair of vertical radiators mounted in the small inner bays of the Type 138.

Operational history
Both aircraft operated in the Solent area from August 1914 until they were withdrawn from use in January 1916.  The Type 138 was used in successful torpedo dropping trials in August and September 1914.  The Type 137 was badly damaged in September 1914 and was later fitted with the same type of engine as in the Type 138.

Mikhail Simonov. Mikhail Petrovich Simonov (; 19 October 1929 – 4 March 2011) was a Russian aircraft designer famed for creating the Sukhoi Su-27 fighter-bomber, the Soviet Union's answer to the American F-15 Eagle. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Simonov coordinated the Su-27's sale to foreign governments, providing badly needed hard currency to the Russian government. In recognition of his achievements, he was named a Hero of the Russian Federation in 1999.

Simonov was born in Rostov-on-Don. He became an aviation engineer in the 1950s and joined Sukhoi as a deputy chief designer in 1970. In his time at Sukhoi, he developed the Sukhoi Su-24 bomber and the Sukhoi Su-25 ground-attack airplane, as well as the Su-27. He was the Soviet Union's deputy minister of aircraft industries from 1979 to 1983.
