XWB (Extra wide body).
Traditionally since the 1960's and the introduction of the Boeing 747-100/200 in the 1970's it was the ideal to think longer and to create a two deck large commercial civil airliner? This has now come to the fore with the Airbus A380, being the only double decker civil aircraft!
Boeing was again the first to introduce a two engine wide body known as the 777 series, while Airbus have proceeded with its own and first extra wide-bodied aircraft! The idea here is to eventually achieve the dream of a flying wing, which has been on the board for over 90 years!
The A350-900 is selling and being ordered more today than its newer series 1000, which is perhaps coming too early to the commercial markets? Meanwhile competition is great for this size of aircraft and Boeing is now proposing the 777X.

Ambulances. One.
Mercedes Sprinter!
The need of a medical corps or the need to transport the ill to a hospital goes back millennium with pack animals and horses pulling a wagon of some type, but since the advent of the petrol engine many vehicles have been adapted for this role!
Today the Ambulance is a mobile medical centre, but remains limited and this depends in what country one may be ill in? In Israel and the U.S Emergency vehicles along with many European countries have some of the best state of the art facilities being enabled to treat on the scene thus saving time, money and lives!
Here in the U.K. much was made about the introduction of this new type of ambulance, but cuts have been made by the NHS and experience in one can be like being on a Merry-go-round? All emergency vehicles one believes should have four by four drive and be fairly stable, especially in the light of recent terrorist attacks here in the U.K. (England) this year?

Electric Vehicles. Part-One.
A new Generation!
Currently Royal Mail, the British postal delivery has taken delivery of six new Polish built electric vans to work the streets of London the capital of the U.K. This is one of many who are trialing these new battery powered vehicles along with UPS, FexEx and Tesco's!
There are many ideas and possibilities on the table for Transport for London (TFL) along with many other European cities in the hope to decrease the ever rising problem of pollution! TFL is also looking at a new generation of electric buses that could have terminals for re-charging at their final destination points?
Currently bio-fuel and dual engine vehicles from Italy and Germany are being put through their paces, but the development of new Lithium batteries with a capacity of up to 130 miles without a charge looks much more viable than ever!

Logistics. One.
Behind every great Army!
Logistics is a specialist field of organisation that is in its own right a calling and discipline and when it is implemented in a right manner any military, civil or humanitarian operation will be a success to only the point of human failure somewhere in the machine of organisation?
When we see the last of these great military parades today of tanks and missiles, artillery and marching soldiers around the world and even the changing of the guard, there is much organisation and infrastructure behind all this pomp that is never seen by the mainstream general public?
If one has worked as a caretaker or specialises in events management, then you have the advantage of having the ability to change the seating layout for over one-hundred people at short notice?
This means moving whole rows without dismantling them down to individual seats and so this is the same with support and logistics?

Day of the Drones. Part-One.
Cheaper and safer?
In the long run lives will be saved in the armed forces by the introduction of battle field drones, air and sea, space and underwater!
Many people are worried and concerned about the introduction of self-thinking robotics, but we have had them in service since the 1960's and at the end of the day, they are only machines?
The British Police were seeing using a drone recently in a Midlands incident, and one believes this was to great effect to end that siege? What is to come will be of great advantage and many military aircraft programmes will be replaced by drone aircraft?
We are someway off still in relation to the drones of science-fiction, but robots are being introduced in Japan to hotels, hospitals and schools!
