A STORY OF CASPIAN SEA MONSTER
The term Caspian Sea Monster came about when U.S. satellites first spotted the large vehicle with stubby wings skimming over the waters of the Caspian Sea. Initially they thought it to be a prototype flying boat.
The Caspian Sea Monster (ekranoplan) was the world's largest and heaviest airplane like vehicle to be operated in ground effect.
The craft had ten turbojets, with two tail-mounted and eight canard-mounted; the eight canard-mounted engines would shut off after takeoff, leaving the two tail-mounted engines to power the craft during normal travel.
The KM was undetectable to many radar systems, as it flew below the minimum altitude of detection. Despite technically being an aircraft, it was considered by the authorities to be closer to a boat and was assigned to the Soviet Navy, but operated by test pilots of the Soviet Air Forces. The Caspian Monster was documented as a marine vessel and prior to the first flight a bottle of champagne was broken against its nose, a tradition for the first voyage of a watercraft.
You can get an idea of the size of the Caspian Sea Monster and its engines by the above picture. The size of the vehicle makes the people walking on it seem very small.
No one in the world has yet managed to achieve the same smooth flight over water with such dimensions.
Its surprise discovery by the United States and the subsequent attempts to determine its purpose became a distinctive event of espionage during the Cold War.
It was tested on the Caspian Sea for 15 years until 1980, when it was destroyed following a crash caused by pilot error. There were no human casualties, but the Caspian Monster was damaged and no attempts were made to save it, it being left to float before eventually sinking a week later. The KM was deemed too heavy to recover and has remained underwater at the crash site ever since.
The Caspian Sea Monster remained the largest aircraft in the world during the entirety of its existence and is the second-largest aircraft ever built, behind the Antonov An-225 Mriya that flew for the first time in 1988.

Once upon a time, not long ago, a mighty red dragon. Lord of the ocean, fell in love with the Sun, which made its waters sparkle like billions of diamonds. But a huge thickness of the sky separated them. The dragon asked his brother, the lord of the air, to raise the waves of the ocean higher and higher. But he did not reach the beautiful face of the Sun. Then he decided to present all the treasures as a gift to the Luminary. Stored at the bottom, but the rays of the Sun could not break through the water column.
No, this is not an ancient Asian legend. We just came up with it. Looking at how the assembled Sun Chaser sundial model works. You can come up with many versions of your own.
In Asian mythology, dragons are the basis of all things. These creatures have many forms, but represent the four elements: fire, water, air and earth. With their limitless power over the Earth and the creatures inhabiting it, even the most powerful dragons are powerless against the invincible Time.
Therefore, creating a model of a sundial in the form of a dragon was an ingenious idea.

SS Great Britain - THE SHIP THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
The SS Great Britain is a historical museum ship and former passenger steamship that was remarkably advanced for its era. It held the distinction of being the world's largest passenger ship from 1845 to 1854 and was conceived by the brilliant engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806–1859) for the transatlantic service of the Great Western Steamship Company, connecting Bristol and New York City. Notably, the SS Great Britain was groundbreaking as it combined two pioneering features - being constructed of iron and equipped with a screw propeller - in a large, ocean-going vessel. It achieved another significant milestone by becoming the first iron steamer to successfully cross the Atlantic Ocean, accomplishing this feat in 1845 and completing the journey in a mere 14 days.
This extraordinary ship measured an impressive 322 feet (98 meters) in length and had a displacement of 3,400 tons. It was powered by two inclined two-cylinder engines of the direct-acting type, featuring twin cylinders with an 88-inch (220 cm) bore and a 6-foot (1.8 m) stroke. Additionally, the SS Great Britain was equipped with secondary masts to harness sail power. Its four decks provided comfortable accommodations for a crew of 120 individuals and up to 360 passengers, who were provided with cabins, dining facilities, and promenade saloons. VIDEO OF SS GREAT BRITAIN
In a remarkable turn of events in 1970, 33 years after being abandoned, Sir Jack Arnold Hayward, OBE (1923–2015), a prominent businessman, developer, philanthropist, and owner of the English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers, funded the raising and partial restoration of the SS Great Britain. The ship was then towed across the Atlantic back to the United Kingdom, returning to the Bristol dry dock where it had originally been built 127 years earlier. Today, the SS Great Britain is recognized as part of the National Historic Fleet and stands as both a visitor attraction and museum ship in Bristol Harbour, welcoming between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors annually.
