THE SUKHOIAN GAZETTEThe man in the flying machine, which he has named the Pigeon, has done the impossible. He flew about half a mile today at about 80 feet of altitude and at about 35 miles per hour. He has landed successfully, and is even planning to go higher and faster. This man is rarely seen outside of his workshop, which is littered with mathematical equations written on the walls, blueprints, and other miscellaneous parts.
here is a picture of the machine in flight:

The motor company Combustion Power Systems, or CPS, is backing Adolph Shweiser with small funds and are working hard on a more powerful but lighter engine for the aircraft. Shweiser says his next ove is to get more than one person off the ground.
The second monitor type warship of the Sukhoian Navy has been put to sea. The SSS Alexander is identical to the SSS Edison. 15 frigates are under construction, and the first one is expected to be put to sea in about 6 weeks. 8 more monitors are to be produced, and 12 destroyers. The amount of shipbuilders has skyrocketed, descreasing the build time of the ships.
