In the may 1992 issue, Popular Mechanicsreported on the bright future of wing-in-ground-effect (WIG) craft, known in Russian as ekranoplane. Emerged from a secretive Soviet Union project, the Orlyonok represented what this future could be. In this ambitious vision of travel, fleets of hovering ships would traipse across oceans delivering passengers and cargo. It's a future that never arrived, and today ekranoplanes are mostly found in museums.

またまた、New Generationの航空機の登場です。と言っても未だConceptですが...
この航空機のユニークさは翼を3対持っておる事で、興味が湧いた読者諸氏は、早速記事をどうぞ！
The US-based startup company SE Aeronautics launched a new generation wide-body aircraft concept. The design of a new monocoque molded plane design is expected to lower fuel consumption by 70% and cut carbon emissions by 80%. Meanwhile, the new SE200 commercial wide-body aircraft is expected to be capable of carrying up to 264 passengers on board with a non-stop range of 10,560 miles.
The company claims that an innovative design of the SE200 jet is more efficient as its light-tri wing configuration significantly improves lift over drag as well as enhances its short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities. The construction of the wide-body jet is all composited and molded in one tough piece while it incorporates super thin long wings.

A giant container ship the length of four football pitches has become wedged across Egypt's Suez Canal, blocking one of the world's busiest trade routes.
Dozens of vessels are stuck, waiting for rescue boats to free the 400m-long (1,312ft) ship, which was knocked off course by strong winds.
Egypt has reopened the canal's older channel to divert some traffic until the grounded ship can move again.
The blockage sent oil prices climbing on international markets.
About 12% of global trade passes through the Suez Canal, which connects the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and provides the shortest sea link between Asia and Europe.
The Ever Given, registered in Panama and operated by the shipping company Evergreen, was bound for the port city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands from China and was passing northwards through the canal on its way to the Mediterranean.

(CNN) — Airlines are some of the most recognized brands in the world, and there's no better billboard for them than the fuselage of their own aircraft.
Once upon a time airline liveries were all about national flags. They were both a symbol of a country's pride and an expression of the quasi-diplomatic status airlines enjoyed (hence the term "flag carrier").
All this changed with the liberalization of the air travel industry.
The emergence of a dynamic and competitive private airline sector opened the floodgates of creativity when it comes to aircraft liveries: from the bright, eye-catching colors favored by low-cost carriers to the intricate one-off designs with which some airlines choose to delight aviation enthusiasts every now and then.
Cute animals, cartoon superheroes and artistic masterpieces -- everything is fair game when it comes to seeking the public's attention through a catchy airline livery.
Patriotic paint jobs have by no means gone out of fashion, either. In June 2020, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson made the controversial decision to spend a reported £900,000 ($1,116,000) of taxpayers' money on a Union Jack-themed makeover of the prime ministerial RAF Voyager jet.

The NSW and federal government have signed 16 natural disaster declarations in areas spanning the central and mid-north coast, from Hunter Valley near Sydney to Coff's Harbour, said NSW Emergency Services Minister David Elliott in a news conference on Sunday.

The 3-Day Military Diet Says You Can Lose 10 Pounds in 1 Week. Does It Actually Work?
今日の英語の習慣化の題材は、
ちょっと目先を変えて、Dietのお話。
Military Dietであります。この記事では、3 Day Diet(ちなみに、一つの意味ある単語の場合、複数形にする必要ありません)
英語の実用と知識を一緒に獲得しましょう！
A-TEN-TION!
Listen up here, private! There's a NEW diet in town and it's not taking any GUFF from you or anybody else! That's because it's set up like a BOOTCAMP, you see. It's going to be TOUGH! It's going to be ROUGH! But it's going to whip you into SHAPE so that you can get moving and start fighting through your days with the vim and vigor needed to FINALLY MAKE A SOLIDER OUT OF YOU.
Or, at least, this is what The Military Diet promises. On its eating plan, you will drop weight fast—as much as 10 pounds in a week, according to its totally weird website.
If that promise wasn't alluring enough, The Military Diet claims that you can do this without exercise while eating saltine crackers and vanilla ice cream.
That promise sounds kind of awesome if you're the type of person looking to lose weight quickly. And maybe you even like the tough-love approach.
So what do you eat on the Military Diet? Here's a sample plan.
Breakfast
cup of black coffee
half of a grapefruit
a slice of dry toast
Lunch
half a cup of tuna
slice of dry toast
black coffee
Dinner
3 ounces of any type of meat
cup of green beans
half of a banana
small apple
cup of ice cream
The website offers substitutions for people who don't like, or can't eat, certain foods. For example, if you hate grapefruit, you'll get the same weight loss benefits by drinking baking soda in your water. (Uhhhh, yum?)
