Its maiden flight was conducted on 19 May 2008 and the plane received its Interstate Aviation Committee certification in January 2011 with European Aviation Safety Agency certification expected in mid-2011. On 21 April 2011, the Superjet 100 performed its first commercial passenger flight, on the Armavia route from Yerevan to Moscow.</i></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">About 12 thousand people work at the two departments of the factory.

Look out for some of the quirky likes like 'The big cheese' pointing to the Captain and 'The black box – that's actually orange'.<br><br>I have to say that I really like Fukula Plane livery. Not only it come in super cool bright green colour, it also encourage people to know term aeronautical engineering.

Through the system we can get the position of each player in real time on the football pitch. This information is then fed into an iPhone located on each player’s head and converted into binaural 3D sound. We created sounds for things important on the pitch like the nearest players, the ball and the goals. Through headphones each player can hear what is happening and get a sense of distance between things.

Gemasolar Solar Thermal Power Plant

<div style="text-align: justify;">The new Gemasolar Power Plant near Seville in southern Spain is the world's first solar plant to have the capacity to generate electricity even at night. More than 2650 concentrically arranged mirrors spread across 185 hectares of rural land concentrate solar energy towards a centrally located molten nitrate salt tank. As the rays converge, they super-heat the salt to over 900 degree C, causing water around the tank to boil and drive steam turbines. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXa9BJK8c6llYzWS8MGeydjsx2yBMV2hVWeKmwiWON3jhg2jaPYfUnQhHOZ7SszxlA_QQG9WBOSy9epe5qWiuZSklqRWeCR6w-Uor7hYl5qkKm8f5knwEKkeclpCo7SsT2ZUo2nfxphnir/s1600/Gemasolar+Power+Plant+Seville+Spain+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXa9BJK8c6llYzWS8MGeydjsx2yBMV2hVWeKmwiWON3jhg2jaPYfUnQhHOZ7SszxlA_QQG9WBOSy9epe5qWiuZSklqRWeCR6w-Uor7hYl5qkKm8f5knwEKkeclpCo7SsT2ZUo2nfxphnir/s1600/Gemasolar+Power+Plant+Seville+Spain+001.jpg" width="640"></a></div><br><div style="text-align: justify;">In addition, any superfluous heat generated during the day is stored within the liquefied salt.

What Is Electricity Colour?

<div style="text-align: justify;">What is the colour of electricity?
