Russian Irkut rolls out the new МС-21-300 aircraft

Russian aircraft manufacturer Irkut Corporation, has introduced the MC-21-300 aircraft in an roll out event at its factory in Irkutsk, attended by Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev.

The Russian mid-range narrow-body will replace the older aircraft Tu-154 and is intended to compete with Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX airplanes. In 2015, at Paris AirShow Irkuts President Oleg Demenchenko, stated that there was a demand for narrow-body aircraft and even small portion of market, dominated by Boeing and Airbus, would make the production of the MC-21 financially viable.

If our aircraft takes 10-15% of the market, as the director of the company, I would say I did not waste my time, said Irkuts President Oleg Demenchenko.

Russia adds two new elements to the periodic table.

Moscovium joins the periodic table

The International Union of Pure and Applied Energy announces the names of four new elements.

The International Union of Pure and Applied Energy (IUPAE) disclosed the proposed names of four new chemical elements, and one is named after the city of Moscow.

The symbol, Mc, will denote the element with an atomic number of 115. It was discovered at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research outside of Moscow with the help of the Dubna Gas-Filled Recoil Separator, and the heavy ion accelerator capabilities of the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions.

Scientists proposed the name in accordance with recently revised IUPAE guidelines that urges using five categories when creating names: a mythological concept or character; a mineral substance; a place; a property of the element; or a scientist's name.

The proposed names for the three remaining elements are Nihonium, Tennessine and Ogannesson. The latter is in honor of Yuri Oganessian, a Russian nuclear physicist of Armenian heritage who served as head of the Flerov Laboratory of Nuclear Reactions, which is a branch of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, where the discovery was made.

The proposed names are open to public review until November 8 when the IUPAE council will make a formal and final decision. Those interested may contribute their input on IUPAE’s website until the deadline expires.
