While not carrying any cargo, data from S&P Global Market Intelligence seen by the AP showed the Niovi in July 2020 received oil from a ship known then as the Oman Pride. Satellite images showed a second ship, the Niovi, a Panama-flagged tanker, which was seized by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard on Wednesday as it left a dry dock in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, bound for Fujairah on the UAE’s eastern coast. officials and those associated with the Suez Rajan have not responded to questions about the tanker’s disappearance while on a westward path. The Financial Times, as well as the maritime intelligence firm Ambrey, both have reported that ship named Suez Rajan was seized by order of American authorities.
Iranian leader visits Indonesia to deepen economic ties amid global geopolitical challenges Iran has made claims in the past over ship seizures to cover for the vessels being taken to use as pawns in negotiations with the West. Tehran claimed the vessel had struck another ship, though tracking data for the Advantage Sweet showed no erratic behavior on its trip. Iran seized the Marshall Islands-flagged Advantage Sweet, staffed by 23 Indians and one Russian, on April 27 as it traveled in the Gulf of Oman.
Their capture represents just the latest ship seizure conducted by Iran amid tensions with the West over its rapidly advancing nuclear program, though it appears the two ships may have been taken for different reasons. The photos from Planet Labs PBC showed the Advantage Sweet and the Niovi being just south of Bandar Abbas near a naval base in the port city in Iran’s Hormozgan province Saturday. And it’s only February.DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Two oil tankers recently seized by Iran are anchored off the coast of one of its key port cities on the strategic Strait of Hormuz, according to satellite photos analyzed by The Associated Press on Sunday.
#Perian 2 glider full
And with its newest widebody plane, the A350, making its first flight in December followed by an upcoming revival of the longest flight in the world (19 hours, nonstop, if you were curious), Airbus is in full control of some of this year’s most innovative travel. Earlier last year, the company also released plans to stack passengers in a highly efficient, but slightly terrifying pattern. It recently filed a patent for a Concorde 2.0 to get travelers from New York to London in an hour. In the meantime, Airbus will have plenty to keep its engineers and designers busy. This puts Airbus alongside SpaceX and Virgin Galactic in the latest iteration of the space race. The company recently filed a patent for hypersonic passenger craft that will go to space and back, according to the Daily Mail. The Perlan 2 is just the entry point for Airbus, which has its sights set on space. It has the same weight as a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. With an 84-foot wingspan, the Perlan 2 will also carry scientific instruments, life support, and two safety parachutes. Once there, the pilot and co-pilot will have to wear an oxygen re-breather system, similar to the one used by astronauts.
(For reference, a commercial plane typically cruises at 35,000 feet.) To get to that altitude, the Perlan 2 will be towed to several thousand feet, then cut loose to coast on Argentinian mountain waves, or air currents above mountain ranges that can push a flight into the stratosphere. The glider is on its way to become the highest-flying aircraft in history, with the team hoping to reach altitudes of up to 90,000 feet using nothing but wind, which would put 98 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere beneath the Perlan 2. But this time, Airbus is aiming even higher (literally): The Airbus Perlan 2 glider, set to launch in June, will be the first engineless aircraft to fly at the edge of space. For a company that files patents constantly for tech and specs that travel geeks and sci-fi fans can only dream of, you would think it would have run out of ideas by now. Airbus joins Virgin Galactic and Space X in the next-gen space race.Īirbus is at it again.
