Cologne Bonn Airport to rename runways for the first time in over 60 years

The release of the eD 32 c-Ultra in April 2024 marked a significant milestone for eD-TEC. This 9.5-meter all-electric RIB, featuring twin 200kW eD-QDrive units and a 105kWh battery, achieved a 25-knot cruise speed and over 40 nautical miles of range during its sea trials. The eD 32 c-Ultra showcases exceptional stability and maneuverability, with upcoming optimizations targeting a 30-knot cruising speed. This release highlights eD-TEC's commitment to revolutionizing electric boating and pushing the boundaries of performance and efficiency. #SustainableSailing #ElectricRevolution #eD32cUltra #SneakPeek #eD32cultra #ElectricBoating #InnovationUnleashed #HighPerformance #InnovationAtSea #ElectricTechnology #GreenBoating #SustainableTravel #InnovativeTech #MarineInnovation #CleanEnergy #FutureOfBoating #ElectricPropulsion #solaryachting #yacht #yachtdesign #yachts #solar #solarenergy #solarpowered #boat #electric

🌟 Navigating the High Seas with Lightships 🌊 Ever wondered about the fascinating history of lightships? These unique vessels served as floating lighthouses, guiding mariners safely through deep waters where lighthouses were impossible to build. Though many are now retired, lightships remain a captivating chapter of maritime history. Here's a quick snapshot: 🚢 **What Are Lightships?** - Floating vessels equipped with beacons to help navigation at night or in poor weather. - Positioned where permanent structures were impractical. ⚓ **Why Lightships?** - More mobile than traditional lighthouses, critical in marking moving hazards and busy shipping lanes. 📜 **Historical Significance** - Serving since Roman times, the first modern lightship, 'The Nore,' emerged in 1732 off England’s coast. - U.S. and UK were pioneers, with technological innovations like refractive lenses and improved anchoring systems. 🏛️ **Preserved for Posterity** Many retired lightships are now museums, offering insights into this nautical tradition. From Boston’s Lightship Nantucket to Germany’s Borkumriff IV, explore these marvels and step into the shoes of those who braved the sea. Whether you're a maritime enthusiast or a history buff, the story of lightships shines a light on the vital role they played in the maritime world. Safe travels on your next nautical adventure! #MaritimeHistory #Lightships #Navigation #Innovation #Seafaring --- 🌐 If you're intrigued and want to dive deeper, explore our series on various vessels like tugboats, icebreakers, and more, and discover how shipping has navigated the waves of time!

Redefine Cruising by Setting Sails : Chapter 2, Level control for a ship with a sail device The invention relates to a ship with a hull and with a sail device which has a telescopic mast with a telescopic axis and can be integrated into a support system, a rescue system and an energy system of the ship with a hydrodynamic level control for the longitudinal, transverse and vertical axis of the ship. The ship has a center of buoyancy, a center of gravity and a metacenter, and is designed with an underwater hull shaped according to hydrodynamic aspects. The underwater hull connects a forecastle to a stern with a keel and has a lower bulkhead deck formed by a double bottom. The hull has longitudinal and transverse bulkhead walls which, together with a plurality of decks, enclose a plurality of vertical, spaced-apart air chambers of a height which form a honeycomb structure and extend parallel to the vertical axis from a lower bulkhead deck to a watertight sealable main deck as an upper deck, substantially over the entire length of the hull along the longitudinal axis and are designed to accommodate the sailing gear. The level of the longitudinal, transverse and vertical axis of the ship is regulated by means of hydrodynamically effective outboard wings that can be extended on the starboard and port sides with a three-part variable wing profile, which are designed for this purpose together with a dynamically displaceable water ballast, the telescopic axis of the telescopic mast installed in an air chamber is always aligned vertically during sailing operation of the ship, whereby the sailing device can be extended beyond the main deck by means of the telescopic mast with a height corresponding to the height of an air chamber in order to enable temporary sailing operation of the ship. The ship according to the invention can be designed according to its respective function as a cargo, passenger, war or work ship. #ResSS2 #resoceanwind #ResSS1 to #ResSS7 #reslevelcontrol #resail #resship #rescruiseship #restelescopicmast #excellence from #theländ Res-institue.com

EMAS - An Alternative to RESA EMAS is an alternative to a fully dimensioned Runway Safety Area (RESA) and is in accordance with and complies with aerodrome standards; especially when there is not enough RESA available or when environmental or topographic features limit runway extension options. EMAS does not only replace RESA but will also increase safety in situations with tabletop mountains, water, roads, buildings, and other obstacles that are close to runway ends. hashtag#RESA hashtag#runways hashtag#runwaysafety hashtag#runwaysafety hashtag#runwaysafe hashtag#EMAS hashtag#RSA hashtag#FAA hashtag#ICAO hashtag#airportsafety hashtag#airport hashtag#runwaytechnology

🚢 **Exploring the History and Significance of Lightships** 🚢 Did you know that a lightship, also known as a light vessel, serves a similar purpose to a lighthouse but floats on water? These fascinating ships are equipped with a beacon on a mast to warn and guide boats and vessels through the night or adverse weather conditions, especially in waters too deep for a conventional lighthouse. While these maritime navigators are becoming a rarity today, the historical journey of the lightship is captivating. Initially used where constructing a lighthouse was impractical, lightships became essential in maritime navigation, helping to safeguard busy shipping lanes across the globe. As times evolved, so did these vessels, transitioning from manned floating sentinels to automated beacons equipped with modern technology like radios and fog signals. Despite many being decommissioned, lightships like Nantucket are preserved as museums, offering a glimpse into this unique aspect of maritime history. Are you intrigued by the evolution of maritime vessels and their role in shaping the shipping industry? Dive deeper into these sea-faring marvels and explore more about different types of vessels like tugboats, roro ships, and oil tankers.
