The UEFA Champions League comprises three qualifying rounds, a play-off round, a group stage and four knockout rounds.

Qualifying
In matches in the three qualifying rounds and the play-off stage, clubs play two matches against each other on a home-and-away basis. The club which scores the greater aggregate of goals qualifies for the next round, with away goals and then penalties used to determine the winner in the event of a draw.

Group stageThe ten winners in the play-off round ties – five from the best-placed path and five from the champions path – join 22 automatic entrants in the 32-team group stage. The clubs are split into eight groups of four teams, who play home and away against each of their pool opponents between September and December to decide which two teams from each section advance to the first knockout round. The third-place finishers in each group enter the UEFA Europa League round of 32.
Knockout phaseFrom the last 16 until the semi-finals, clubs play two matches against each other on a home-and-away basis with the same rules as the qualifying and play-off rounds applied. In the last 16, group winners play runners-up other than teams from their own pool or nation, while from the quarter-finals on the draw is free.
FinalThe final is decided by a single match, which this season will be played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 25 May 2013.
Further details, including the criteria for separating teams that finish level on points in a group, can be found in the official competition regulations.

Every pilot faces uncertain weather, rising costs, and ground transportation hassles on each end of the flight. The Transition combines the unique convenience of being able to fold its wings with the ability to drive on any surface road in a modern personal airplane platform. Stowing the wings for road use and deploying them for flight at the airport is activated from inside the cockpit. This unique functionality addresses head-on the issues faced by today’s Private and Sport Pilots.

The “Transition”, as it’s called, has front wheel drive with a cruising speed of 115 mph and gets 30 highway mpg.

Terrafugia’s award-winning MIT-trained engineers have been advancing the state-of-the-art in personal aircraft since 2006. Now you can streamline your flying experience with the revolutionary integration of personal land and air travel made possible by the Transition Roadable Aircraft.

Powerful and destructive helicopter x3 hybrid

The Euro copters X3 high-speed hybrid helicopter
demonstrator, which made its maiden flight on September 6, 2010, has reached the programmes Step 1 speed objective by attaining a true airspeed of 180 knot in level flight at reduced level of engine power.

In the flight testing performed thus far, the flight envelope has been opened with and without autopilot to validate the basic hybrid demonstrator aircrafts stability and handling characteristics. The X3 has reached an altitude of 12500 feet performed man oeuvres with left and right turns at bank angles of up to 60 degrees.

The X3 flights to date were performed by Euro copter test pilot, Herve Jammayrac, and flight test engineer, Daniel Semioli,at the French DGA test facility in Istres.

“The X3 has performed extremely well, demonstrating handling and flight qualities that are exactly in line with our ground-based simulator evaluations,” Jammayrac said.”

This helicopter is really built for speed, and our test team looks forward to taking the x3 to the next steps of its flight regime.”

“The X3 has performed extremely well, demonstrating handling and flight qualities that are exactly in line with our ground-based simulator evaluations,” Jammayrac said.”This helicopter is really built for speed, and our test team looks forward to taking the x3 to the next steps of its flight regime.”

Having already surpassed the speed of a traditional helicopter, the next milestone for the demonstrator is the Step 2 phase at Euro copters headquarters in Marignane, France, where the X3 will enter a second set of flight tests during which it is expected to reach sustained cruise speeds in excess of 220 knots.

The X3 utilizes a Euro copter Dauphin helicopter airframe .It is equipped with two turbo shaft engines that power a five-blade main rotor system, along with two propellers installed on short-span fixed wings.

This hybrid configuration creates an advanced transportation system that offers the speed of a turboprop-powered aircraft and the full hover flight capabilities of a helicopter.

It is tailored to applications where operational costs, flight duration and mission success depend directly on the maximum cruising speed.

The X3 combines excellent vertical takeoff and landing capabilities with its designed fast cruise speeds of more than 220 knots. Euro copter envisions a wide range of applications for this concept, including long-distance search and rescue (SAR) missions, coast guard duties, border patrol missions, passenger transportation and inter-city shuttles services.

It could also be well-tailored for military missions in Special Forces operations, troop transportation, combat SAR and Medical evacuation-benefitting from the hybrid aircrafts combination of higher cruise speeds with excellent vertical takeoff and landing performance.
