Now's Your Chance to Own Jaguar's Best Forgotten Supercar
https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/buying-maintenance/a32520/jaguar-xjr-15-for-sale/

The XJR-15 was a limited production 450-horsepower V12 mid-engine supercar largely forgotten by the industry. Now there's one for sale. .................

According to Jaguar, the XJR-15 was built specifically to compete in the Jaguar Sport Intercontinental Challenege. It was a support event held three times a year for Formula One, and featured 16 identical cars in the grid. It didn't last very long, and people eventually forgot about the 53 examples of the '90s supercar Jaguar built.

Russian matchbox label
From Wikipedia..
Belka (Белка, literally, "Squirrel", but as a dog's name most likely means "Whitey", from Russian: "белый" (for "white")) and Strelka (Стрелка, "Little Arrow") spent a day in space aboard Korabl-Sputnik-2 (Sputnik 5) on August 19, 1960 before safely returning to Earth.

They were accompanied by a grey rabbit, 42 mice, 2 rats, flies and a number of plants and fungi. All passengers survived. They were the first Earth-born creatures to go into orbit and return alive.

It is a big cat, and here is another big cat.

These two cats are related.

It is a child of the 80's, but as one of the first carbon fiber street legal cars based on a Le Man's racer that made it trendsetting for what was to come in the 90's.

And I'm not posting it in the cat thread.

World-record electric motor for aircraft
https://phys.org/news/2015-04-world-record-electric-motor-aircraft.html

Siemens researchers have developed a new type of electric motor that, with a weight of just 50 kilograms, delivers a continuous output of about 260 kilowatts – five times more than comparable drive systems. The motor has been specially designed for use in aircraft. Thanks to its record-setting power-to-weight ratio, larger aircraft with takeoff weights of up to two tons will now be able to use electric drives for the first time......................................

Since the new motor delivers its record-setting performance at rotational speeds of just 2,500 revolutions per minute, it can drive propellers directly, without the use of a transmission. "This innovation will make it possible to build series hybrid-electric aircraft with four or more seats," said Frank Anton, Head of eAircraft at Siemens Corporate Technology, the company's central research unit.
