China's new Space shuttle?

 The race for Space is now on!

The peoples republic of China has launched its third secret Space shuttle mission in the last year and this craft is believed to be remotely controlled, but it could be manned? 

Meanwhile it is not known what the mission is for as yet and with the block on the Internet by the United States it perhaps will be some time!

During this operation the U.S. cancelled two flights that of the DragonX and its own year long X-37 missions, one again does not know why, but later both were launched into orbit!

Many other countries now are in the possession of ballistic missiles such as Iran and N-Korea and despite what they have achieved on their own they too will want to do similar to what has been done, if not go further a field as what India has done in getting to Mars and the Sun!

Specialist Shipping!

 Leading the way with electric powered.

Up-Lifters and other vessels of the same types are now leading the way with electric power, but with the end of the COP, it would imply that there is no rush to move from fossil fuels to green, as the host of the conference claimed that he had not yet seen any scientific documentation to prove that global warming had anything to do with the warming up of the Earth?

The race is on now between shipping and aviation and at every turn there is something new in technology from carbon wings to new metals improving solar energy and other and some nations seem to be committed, many remain confused as to what is really going on?

The developing world wants to burn fossil fuels to be on a par with the first world, they want to make their way to our level and perhaps when we are all equal then the serious work of saving our planet will begin and perhaps by then we will have no choice?

Another Cop-out Conference?

 Saudis are doing fossil fuel sales under the cover of green energy!

The truth to the matter is that people are meeting together for many other reasons than what they claim is on the agenda for the future of alternative green energy and despite the fine speeches, most have arrived and will leave in their high energy burning jets!

Sp much for the future is being swept away, by the people with the money and what remains of oil in the Middle-East and Russia out pricing the Arabs. So Africa has become the new market for the Gulf States, whiles solar works on a local basis to charge mobile phones and tablets, vehicles still need fossil fuels along with the generation of power?

Here is the U.K. we are seeing the demise of Dowlais top (South-Wales) open cast mine, but there is no plans to do anything with it for now but later on it may re-open to meet the needs or demand on the power grid if needs be!

Concorde is too fly again!

 U.S. Competition is serious?

Over twenty years since Air France lost one aircraft after the Paris crash, this sleek and stylish dream machine was grounded, but now with new technology and the backing of perhaps Sir Richard Branson and others it is to be revived!

The U.S. is now in the field with a serious contender and there remains a big market for super-sonic speed and travel by the wealthy of this world, who want to get from A to B/Z quickly, with comfort, privacy and style?

It is not clear at this time with Concorde will remain a 100 seat aircraft, being slightly smaller to 90 seats in former French service or that it will be bigger, but new materials and fuels with electric conversion are all on the cards even to go hyper-sonic at some state, which will be interesting, even into limited space flight?

7/10/23.

 A new kind of warfare inspired by the U.S.Backed Ukraine.

How the scorpion always has a sting in its tail and this was proved on the morning of October 7th, when three thousand Hamas fighters and their affiliates poured in across the Gaza border fence into southern-Israel, deploying a armed flight wing of two man motorized para-gliders with their militants dressed in Israeli army uniforms.

Drones were also deployed and later backed up with mortar, short and long range rocket firing in to C-Israel, all of what happened on this Saturday morning was an almost U.S. copy book of what the Ukrainians were taught to do to the Russian in the eastern Ukraine?

900 Israeli civilians and 300 IDF soldiers were killed, it is unknown how many foreign workers died or were among the 300+ kidnapped!

Terrorism has moved on now to a new level of Para-gliding, speedboats and drones, apart from home-made rockets and the simple use of light weapons and more of this is to come, unless there are more restrictions on the use of these technologies!

Meanwhile the Arab Media is playing the same baby-children propaganda as in the Ukraine too to win the heart strings of the naive?

Electric power flight!

 Still early days?

There are many designs and concepts out there and the few that are operating are still classed as very unstable and dangerous, but as time moves on better engines will be developed and some aircraft will make it to the civil market on the air taxi scale two-four passengers?

Embraer is leading the way with the possibility of commercial aircraft within the next ten years, while several others are moving into combination powered aircraft, just like hybrid automobiles, but the development of new lighter carbon materials is opening the door for some serious models to come to the fore?

Meanwhile the drone is now at its current height of being militeriesed, as seen in the Ukraine on both sides, but they have limited range still and one is only seeing old NATO models being used on the battlefield, rather than anything that is really new.

The future may see drones being used as AI driverless cars in the future and that will be something of a change?

No need to turnaround!

 China's new vehicle ferries.

The concept has long been on the table, but no one could see it ever being implemented, but China thinks outside the box and have done it. 

Already these ships are working the English Channel and of course in the far-east, one will have to see how long it will take them to conquer the world and make life easier for the ferry companies to load and off load without the need to turn?

These ships have two bridges and thus two entry points with open decks to that of the conventional designs of hinged doors and the risk of flooding and capsizing.

Electrically powered shipping is slowly become more and more, but it will take time for the millions of vessels world-wide to be converted from fossil fuels to electric.

Anti-Fossil Fuels?

 People tired of the mayhem.

The public are getting tired of the ongoing fuel protesting and eventually things will get 'out of hand, and someone will be killed, people so far have been so tolerant, but this will not last and the attacks at the Proms and the snooker did not go very well.

Politicians are secretly investing in fossil fuels and using the proxy war in the Ukraine to cover those secret financial gains, there has been some revelation in recent days, but this is really just the tip of one iceberg, since most of them are still trading with Russia in various areas?

Is going electric the answers, probably not, hydrogen being the logical choice for the near future is more plausible and cheaper for existing cars to be converted. Meanwhile the ULEZ schemes are really hitting the working classes and the poor and the government will have to overturn local authorities and the Mayor of London and other large cities if a balance in business is to continue!

Public transport in rural areas is being cut back and the hypocrisy of providing more is a myth, while regional powers say one thing and continue to do the other?

Lithium Dangers?

 Overheating Electrics.

With the recent incident of a K-Line car carrier catching fire in the North-Sea, off northern Holland, there are some serious concerns in relation to how safe are electric cars in storage and on the roads.

Many people are being almost forced now to consider electric over that of the fossil fuel burners, by the introduction of ULEZ type schemes across the U.K.

But for the poorer end of the market, there is not much to choose from and warnings on second-hand electrics, is that they are riddled with problems that will be not worth paying for.

It would seem that at some point another lower fuel emission will have to be considered, before a new improved electric system can be found.

Despite all this many people are still buying, and others are finding the overheating problem is really dangerous with cars being abandoned in many places when they catch fire?

Gas and Battery Buses?

 Electric is much cheaper than fossil Fuels.

Many city fleets of buses have now either opted for battery or gas, but with the very hot summers of recent years there is a problem of the Lithium overheating and vehicles catching fire.

To this date nothing better is yet available, but there are many innovations that are not getting tested and so for most of the year, apart from two months everything works fine.

Lamp post hubs are becoming the norm in London for buses and other vehicles on a pre-paid system and with the phasing out of diesel. We will have better transport connections that are far cheaper by at least £1.70 per litre of conventional fuel.

Tecnam P2012T Traveller.

 Electric powered testing Halted.

This new Italian and U.S. based innovation P-Volt technical aircraft based on the successful P2012T, traveller has been halted after the power capability of the two new electro engines has run in to issues of loss of power or cut off in mid-flight with not being enabled to control the aircraft.

Last year many believed we were on the beginning of a electric revolution. but now we know that much of what was thought possible is not going to work, as well as land and sea and so conventional power will be staying for some time yet.

Helicopters may see that possibility and many concepts are coming to the fore, but the reality is that the drone is to replace the need for some helicopters since they are more versatile in how they can be deployed.

Greed over Safety!

 Titanic Tourism?

The warning signs and the dangers were ignored for the big bucks, it is always the same. When the Titanic was launched from Belfast now N-Ireland, it lacked lifeboats and the Captain was told, 'If he was not happy, he could find another ship?

One could say, 'the whole matter is cursed with fatality and arrogance, one is not impressed with Titanic tourism or the desecration of a sea grave, since it is only and hundred and twelve years, and it might be different in other cases maybe?

Like space, the deep oceans are dangerous places and equipment must be double checked after every trip, since unknown factors will be at play from space dust, to fractures from pressures on the hull.

A year on and Russia is winning!

 Ukrainian Bragging?

It is unlikely that the Ukraine will beat Russia in a war of any kind, since the deployment of the hypersonic Sukhoi SU-50 and its variant's will obliterate any western aircraft that might be deployed against it and what the west is providing Kiev in now old stock?

Russia has raced ahead in the field of hypersonic and the United States has lagged behind, due to financial crises that has plague the states since the end of the era of President George Bush.

These new types can our run and gun any other aircraft and if the U.S. and Europe were to deploy the good tech such as the F-22 Raptor, F-35 Lightning and the Typhoon, Swedish JA-27, they still would be no match for this unique aircraft.
