More A.I. for the Police!

 Robotic K-9's and Robotic assisted car drivers?

Tech is now moving very fast across the globe in relation to security, military and the police and within the next twenty-five years we will see the introduction of the robot K9 and the police robot driver, as well as a host of tech in the vehicles that is connected to drones and other flying devices!

This is to be a revolution in its own right, as the helicopter may become obsolete over the next 75 years for a drone and robotic model? 

With the expansion into Mars and other mining colonies across our solar system the helicopter may be an essential craft, for transporting people and machinery, if not rescue and the possibilities are to be endless with A.I!

End of the McDonnell-Douglas MD-11!

 Is this the final demise of the McDonnell-Douglas MD-11?

These aircraft operated by United Parcels Services (UPS) and FedEx have now been stood down, but is this really the end of them or will they be scrapped, after ten years of the last incident called for their retirement in the freight business for postal services or other unknown or not disclosed loads!

The history of this type has been successful, but the earlier version the DC-10-30 had a engine tail flaring problem, which lead to disaster and great loss of life?

The MD-11 was to be more, but safety concerns drove into its current role, but these aircraft are old and no match for say the Boeing 777-300/X or the earlier 747-300/400. It is not clear what other operators may do in Europe and other parts of the world!

River Boats!

 River Ferries?

The role of the ferryman is not yet in demise, as many people in London, U.K. want to travel the river Thames for work, cutting out the car and all the costs that now go with it, as well as fines!

There are many places were the building of a bridge is not suitable, but there is a demand for traffic to go from A to B/Z and thus not much has changed over the years with the craft, except the introduction of GPS and more comforts for the passengers?

Journeys will vary from fifteen to forty-five minutes and the weather can play havoc, but despite all this there remains a demand across many parts of the world, were safety standards are not kept, ranging from Greece to W-Africa, and the far-east with occasional great loss!

Gliders!

 They were at their hey day during World War-II (1939-45).

During the D-Day landings these enginless birds, if they made it safely down were a God send to the operations to crush the Nazis in Northern France, carrying in weapons, men and essential equipment?

Both the American Jeep and the British Bren carrier with light artillery were the importance of the day, allowing troops to move fast ahead of the main divisions and their heavier armor

But many did fail and many lives were lost, but after all is said they did have their respective successes, as in comparison today the glider is more of a sporting craft, towed up and glides back down again allowing many people to experience real flight!

It is unlikely that the transport gliders will ever be used again, technology has moved to helicopters and now to drones and their aircraft equivalents?

Airbus is Extending the A.220-200

 This original Canadian wonder, is now to become a -300


But is this worth the bother, since Airbus has taken the market with the current A.320-200 family and the newer version the A.230-200NX/LR?

The original A220-100 did not do so well as the 200, but the Europeans must see a market for the 300 series as older aircraft are being withdrawn and scrapped!

This Canadian original was blocked by President Trump, forcing the Canadians to sell it to Airbus and thus under Joe Biden the ban was lifted?

Unfortunately Boeing has not been successful as in times past of replacing the 737-100/300 series, but rather invest in the MAX, which has encouraged many countries around the world to turn to Embraer or Airbus and a few others!

Piracy!

 Not limited to the far and Middle-East?

Over recent years many yachts have disappeared in the Caribbean sea and off the coast of C-and S-America and it is believed that they were hijacked for various reason, kidnapping, used to smuggle drugs or just theft with the crews being murdered and dumped overboard! 

With this comes the use of drones on both sides of the criminal world more and the respective authorities in the region, since they are more pliable and cheaper to use to see what is lurking about more so at Night and are also capable of targeting?

The United States claims it wants to end the drug trade coming into the southern states, but it may also be to start another war this time with Venezuela with F-35 Jets being deployed in Puerto-Rico

Israels new Space Rocket!

 Communications and Spying?

A country like Israel needs to be up to date on knowing what is going on around it and in the Gaza strip, but these rockets are much more special than what other nations might be sending up or trying to maintain in space, costing millions!

It would seem that Israel wants nothing at this time to do with Musk and his antisemitism rantings, while the Trump administration is grumpy over Jerusalem refusing to share technology, but then how could you with unpredictable Trump?

Bezek is one of the best communications companies in the world and Israel needs to keep in contact with its diaspora to get them home at short notice and having their own GPS that is independent of other Gentile nations, that most Jews no longer trust with the their twisted political ideas of supporting the rights of the terrorists who killed 1500 people on October 7th 2023!
