turkish-Made ‘Tlay‘ Drone Revives Ekranoplan Technology with AI Integration

Published: October 26,2023

Turkish Engineers Revive Ekranoplan Idea with New Smart Drone

A newly developed Turkish drone, dubbed ‘Tlay,’ is generating meaningful interest in the defense sector due to its unique design and capabilities, drawing parallels to the Soviet-era Ekranoplan.The drone utilizes ground effect, flying at extremely low altitudes – typically within a few meters of the surface – to achieve increased efficiency and reduced radar visibility. This technology, pioneered by rostislav Alexeyev in the 1960s with the KM and Lun-class Ekranoplans, had largely faded from prominence until now.

The Tlay drone boasts a payload capacity of 30 kilograms (approximately 66 pounds), allowing it to carry a diverse range of equipment. Its operational concept frequently enough involves single-flight missions, mitigating concerns about corrosion from saltwater exposure, a potential issue for prolonged use in maritime environments. Even in reconnaissance roles, the drone’s limited lifespan reduces the impact of saline water on its components.

While primarily operating at low altitudes, the Tlay is capable of ascending to a maximum altitude of 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) when required, enabling vertical take-off and landing capabilities. This allows for flexible deployment and operation in varied terrains.

A key feature of the Tlay drone is its integrated artificial intelligence (AI). Turkish engineers are developing the capability for swarm operations, where multiple drones collaborate and divide tasks to achieve a unified objective. This networked approach substantially enhances operational effectiveness and resilience. The resurgence of Ekranoplan principles in the Tlay drone represents a notable advancement in unmanned aerial vehicle technology.

Arizona Wildcats Smash School Record with Eight Home Runs in NCAA Tournament

EUGENE, Ore. – May 26, 2024 – In a stunning display of power, the Arizona Wildcats set a school record by hitting eight home runs in the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats dominated Utah Valley with a 14-4 victory, behind Mason White’s three-home run performance, at PK Park. The game highlighted Arizona’s ability and offensive prowess, as they head to the Eugene Regional final, showcasing the team’s resilience and talent.

Arizona Wildcats Smash School Record with Eight Home Runs in NCAA Tournament

EUGENE, Ore. – The Arizona Wildcats,known for their unique offensive strategy tailored to their home field at Hi Corbett Field,unleashed an unexpected power surge Saturday night. In a stunning display of hitting, arizona crushed a school-record eight home runs, propelling them to a 14-4 victory over utah Valley in the NCAA Tournament at PK Park.

A Power Surge in Eugene

Typically, Arizona’s approach focuses on generating triples and doubles, a strategy that has seen them lead the nation in triples this season. However,the smaller dimensions of PK Park,combined with favorable wind conditions,transformed the Wildcats into a home run hitting juggernaut.

Did you know? Hi Corbett Field, Arizona’s home ballpark, is known for its expansive outfield, which frequently enough suppresses home run numbers and encourages extra-base hits of the non-homer variety.

Mason White’s Historic Performance

Leading the charge was Mason White,who etched his name into Arizona baseball history with a remarkable three-home run performance.White homered in his first three at-bats, including a 2-run shot off the right field foul pole in the first inning. His subsequent blasts in the third and fourth innings marked the ninth three-homer game in school history and the first in postseason play.

White finished the game 4-for-5 with a double, tying Dave Stegman’s school record of 110 extra-base hits from 1973-76.

We saw the wind when we got here,saw it in BP,and then nothing changed.We just hit like how we hit. And you see in Hi Corbett, it really doesn’t help out the wind blowing in, but playing in a park like this it really shows.
Mason White

White’s stellar performance increased his season home run total to 18, with nine of those coming in May.

A Team Effort

While White stole the show, he wasn’t alone in contributing to the home run barrage. Tommy Splaine, brendan Summerhill, Aaron Walton, Adonys Guzman, and Garen Caulfield also went yard. Caulfield’s opposite-field shot in the eighth inning broke the previous school record set in 2001 against Washington State.

They hit eight home runs, and they didn’t hit eight cheap home runs.
Nate Rasmussen, Utah Valley Coach

Arizona’s offense exploded for 19 hits, including a school-record 14 extra-base hits. This offensive outburst was a welcome change after scoring only five runs on eight hits in the previous two games.

Coaching Strategy and Early Innings

Arizona coach Chip Hale emphasized a simple approach before the game, encouraging his players to focus on making solid contact.

We actually talked about it before we left the hotel, just get our best swing off. Get our best swing off, hit low, hard contact. sometimes people think you’re trying to hit the ball in the air. They’re not, they’re trying to hit low line drives, and they end up going a long way.
Chip Hale, Arizona Coach

White’s first homer gave Raul garayzar an early 2-0 lead, but Utah Valley quickly responded, tying the game in the bottom of the first. However, Arizona regained the lead in the second and never looked back.

Pitching and Defense

After Garayzar’s early struggles, Casey Hintz and Michael Hilker Jr. provided crucial relief. Hintz threw three scoreless innings, inducing seven ground ball outs. Hilker Jr. closed out the game with three shutout innings and seven strikeouts, earning the save.The UA bullpen allowed just one hit over six innings.

You look at the scoreboard, I think at the time it was 7-2. At the time, it’s just get outs, get ground balls, turn a double play, just minimize what’s going on. All you can do is minimize, go pitch by pitch, and just don’t let them get more damage.
Casey Hintz

Looking Ahead

The Wildcats (41-18) advance to the Eugene Regional final Sunday night. They await the winner of the elimination game between Utah Valley (33-28) and Cal Poly (42-18). A single victory will send Arizona to their first Super Regional as 2021.

Mission hasn’t changed.
Mason White

The Risks of Credit Card Cash Advances: What You Need to Know to Avoid Negative Reports and High Interest Fees

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 28, 2024

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Credit cards are one of the most popular financial products. They offer the possibility of obtaining loans in an agile manner, with sufficient capacity you can make purchases and pay obligations.

(See: How to request and activate the virtual debit and credit cards offered by Bancolombia).

Customers who purchase these cards must pay monthly fees along with interest, which vary depending on the period in which you decide to defer the purchase.

Thus, each month users receive a statement detailing the minimum payment required, the accumulated interest and the total outstanding debt.
Now, these cards can be used directly in credit card machines and shopping establishments, they also offer the option of withdrawing cash, known as advance, with the condition of paying interest on the amount withdrawn.

(See: Bancolombia and Visa expand contactless payments from smart watches).

But what happens if an advance on a credit card is not paid? Precisely, Juan Camilo Gómez, a finance expert, in dialogue with El País, assured that cash advances are usually more expensive than simply making a purchase with a credit card.

(See: Income tax return 2024: people who should not present it due to changes in the Dian).

For this reason, he recommends that in cases where little money is required, it is better to turn to friends or family, since the interest is very high. Typically, they are governed by the highest rate set on the credit card, generally corresponding to the limit defined by the usury rate.

On the other hand, if you request an advance, you must be aware that you must pay that money on the established date to avoid negative reports to the credit bureaus.

Please note that if you are reported and wish to leave Datacrédito, you must request it yourself as long as the debt has been settled.

To do this, it is necessary to write a document that includes personal information, reasons for requesting deletion and attach a copy of the identity document as verification of the holder of the request.
