Already Operational?
The electric engine is now well into progression to begin the replacement of the Diesel which has been very faithful both in locomotion and shipping and this is were some of the first replacements are being built, designed and are operational!
The world of Aviation is also seeing many new aircraft concepts and a great desire to have something up and running in the near future? Many experimental aircraft are on the cards, but this remains a limited to civil aviation while the military are still burning fossil fuels in both aircraft and helicopter fleets!
The automobile has also taken off from hybrid vehicles to battery and full electric and because bus and delivery fleets are coming into service, many ordinary folk want their own! It is not known yet how much all of this is reducing carbon emissions in towns and cities, since many young people and children are still dying from chronic respiratory failures from breathing in carbon monoxide?
Happy New Year to one and All!!

Happy Christmas to All!
Father Christmas?
It has been discovered that Santa Claus travels by hypersonic sled and that the Russians now have the tech since Father Christmas felt that the U.S. President was not up to the job, thinking he was a good guy when he should know better?
He is on the way, each year starting in the Pacific region and the smog in Australia will not stop him, then on to Asia, far-east, middle-east, Africa, Europe, S-America and then the North before heading home for another year!
So wither you still believe in him or not, 'Here is a happy Christmas to one and all!

ENGINES?
Powering Aviation!
Most of the worlds aircraft flying since 1960 have been powered by only a few types, or copies of engine plants! In the west Pratt & Witney, Rolls-Royce. General-Electric and Lycoming are the most numerous for both civil and military.
Russia and China have only a few too, until recent new developments, while France and a few nations did their own thing. Today with more aircraft than ever the western engine giants are still holding their ground with the Russian and European competition?
Much more choices are available today that ever before when it comes to aircraft and capabilities, fuel efficiency with the electric engine now coming online! But these new developments, despite being available still have to go through much testing before we will see them in everyday use?

CASA. Part-Two.
Moving on into new Technology?
CASA is well known for its aviation exploits, but it also was in the development of drones for its own Spanish armed forces and with miniaturisation it has built some serious battle-field kit!
But it also has developed more adaptions for current aircraft to operate any type for fishery protection duties instead of having dedicated aircraft as in times past. This one of many breakthroughs that may see future developments curtailed in these areas and thus be focused on to more aggressive types?
CASA C212 are getting a second life in these roles and the Casa-Nuranto CN-235 and new versions of the CN295 are now more popular in their various civil aircraft liner work than that of military application! Many projects with other nations in South-America seems not to have worked out in a very competitive market?

Queens of the Oceans!
Cruise Ships still popular?
It is perhaps the fate of the Titanic that has made the cruise ship popular, travelling in luxury more today holidaying in a self-contained environment? Cruising is a growing market that is popular world-wide despite accidents and losses and more new ships are coming on line for western operations!
But many other nations also operate their own versions, not all as big as these new queens but just as comfortable and suited for their own clientele? River and canal boats, along with great lakes are just as popular, some people want the peace and tranquillity while other want the fun, musicals and the casinos that mark these holiday vessels for what they are!
Adventures, despite the many incidents remains very attractive, Antarctica, volcanoes, sea-life and on-off shore short trips are all popular with all age groups! The vessels themselves are usually kept to a high standard and staff try their best to deal with difficult people?
The future will see the introduction of electrical powered vessels and one doubts that the cruise ships of today will be replaced by space flight for some time still to come?
