MAD Unveil a Floating Feather Design for Changchun ‘Longjia’ International  Airport

MAD Architects in collaboration with China Airport Planning & Design Institute and Beijing Institute of Architectural Design has revealed design for the Changchun “Longjia” International Airport Terminal 3 in China.

The plans have been reevaled following an international competition in China. The new terminal building, which will be the airport's first large-scale air transportation junction, will cover a total of nearly 270,000 square meters on a footprint of 177.6-hectare area.

Resembling "a floating feather", the precise shape of the airport features a fluid skin that frames its internal logic and roof design in a clear arrangement.

The Four Koreas

by anthro.atlas

With ethnic Koreans making up 99.99% of the population in North Korea and 95.63% in South Korea, these two countries are among the most homogeneous in the world. Outside these republics, however, there are two political entities where a substantial Korean population resides. These are Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture and Changbai Korean Autonomous County, both in China’s Jilin Province. Majority of the Koreans residing in Yanbian, in contrast to those in Changbai and the Korean republics, are descended from migrants who left the Korean Peninsula in large numbers throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.

Random Trains I Found Part 1:

So, I've put off writing my myriad of WIPs for a bit to spend some time just... looking at trains. Reconnecting with them. Hunting out ideas for the future and being amazed by the past. And here's a few of my absolute favourite random, insane trains I've found so far:

NGR Class D1:

This right here was the first 4-8-2 ever built - and it's an absolutely massive tank engine from South Africa. It was built to the 3ft 6in Cape Gauge and it began running in 1888. Take a moment for that to settle in - 1888. The USA didn't run a 4-8-2 on it's network until 1911, a good 20+ years later!

Russian Class Kh:

It's a 2-8-0 class built in the USA for Russia that had examples sold to Japan with the last example preserved in China. I personally like these engines because they really do tell us so much about how much the world changed - they began life in 1895, and somehow (I would love to know how if anyone has any information) one ended up in a river in Jilin Province, China. It was probably WWII, but all the same, these engines went places!

Prussian P8 Class:

These engines started life in 1908 and weren't retired until 1981 in Poland at the latest - and if that isn't an opening to an epic class of locomotive, I don't know what is! Roughly 3900 of these machines were built, making it potentially the single largest class of passenger engine in the world and they ended up just about everywhere in Europe, from France to Norway to Romania, where a number (200) were built under license. And the reason they lived so long? They were simple, strong machines.

GWR 2600 'Aberdare' Class:

Honestly, I just like these because they look so odd. Like, these are GWR 2-6-0s that look like a City or a Bulldog class. They have the double frames and the coupling rods of a 4-4-0 - and that's because they were introduced in 1900. They did manage to make it to 1949 hauling coal trains, but the GWR had already been withdrawing them in the 1930s, as they did with their older stock. I wish one had been preserved, they'd be so cool to look at!

NGR Class C:

Last but certainly not least, these behemoths of South Africa once again prove that somehow, the former Cape Colony was at the forefront of wheel arrangement innovation. It's a 4-10-2T. It was built in 1899, alongside the GWR Bulldog class! These things were massive... and eventually rebuilt to 4-8-2T locomotives. But there were 137 of them built, making them the most numerous of the 4-10-2 type locomotive ever constructed.

I want all of these engines. I would love to know more about them, I would love to own one (in model form) and I am going to love continuing my journey through railway history to find more random, interesting locomotives to share.

And as usual, all images belong to their respective owners.

Changchunsaurus parvus

Changchunsaurus was a genus of neornithischian dinosaur from the Cretaceous period. Its type species is Changchunsaurus parvus. The only specimen was found in the Quantou Formation of the Songliao Basin in 2005. It is the first dinosaur found in the Jilin province of China.

Its autapomorphies include a slit-like incisive foramen present on the midline of the premaxillary palate, medial to crowns three and four, with foramen positioned lateral to it on each side; a thickened and slightly rugose dorsolateral surface of the dentary, continuous to the predentary; and a groove extending rostromedially along the lateral surface of the caudal half of the dentary and onto the medial surface of the coronoid process.

It is not exactly known where Changchunsaurus sits amongst other neornithischians, but it has been found to be closely related to Jeholosaurus and Haya. It is known from the holotype that includes the skull, the axial column as far as the cranial end of the sacrum, and partial forelimbs and hind limbs. Only the skull is described in its original paper. It may also be known from additional material found in the Quantou Formation, some of which was described and referred to the genus in 2010.

The Great Wall is a military fortification in ancient China. It is a tall, solid and continuous wall to limit the movement of the enemy. The Great Wall is not a simple isolated city wall, but a defensive system with the city wall as the main body and a large number of cities, barriers, pavilions and landmarks. The history of the construction of the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. The famous allusion "The Beacon Fire Plays the Marquis", which took place in the capital, Haojing (today's Xi'an, Shaanxi), originated here. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Great Wall construction entered the first climax, but the length of construction was relatively short. After Qin destroyed the six countries and unified the world, the First Emperor of Qin connected and repaired the Great Wall of the Warring States, which was called the Great Wall. The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to overhaul the Great Wall. Most of the Great Wall people saw was built at this time. The Great Wall resources are mainly distributed in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, including Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Henan, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang. It is more than 2000 kilometers long in Hebei Province and 1838 kilometers long in Shaanxi Province. According to the national survey of the Great Wall resources by the cultural relics and surveying and mapping department, the total length of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty is 8851.8 kilometers, and the Great Wall in the Qin and Han Dynasties and the early period is more than 10000 kilometers, with a total length of more than 21000 kilometers. The existing cultural relics of the Great Wall include the walls, trenches, boundary trenches, individual buildings, fortresses, related facilities and other relics of the Great Wall, totaling more than 43000 (pieces/section). On March 4, 1961, the Great Wall was announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. In December 1987, the Great Wall was listed as a world cultural heritage. On November 26, 2020, the State Administration of Cultural Relics released the first batch of state-level important sites and sections of the Great Wall.

Driverless vehicles to lift battery swapping

Visitors check out NIO charging piles during an international automobile expo in Changchun, Jilin province, in July. The company aims to build 1,000 battery swapping stations in China in 2023, bringing the total number to 2,300 by this year-end.

A boom in autonomous vehicles is expected to usher in fresh development opportunities for the battery swapping sector in China, throwing open a billion-dollar market in energy storage.

In May, Baidu unveiled its sixth-generation robotaxi services in Wuhan, Hubei province, with the autonomous vehicles operating using a battery swapping system, utilizing standardized battery packs and smart battery swapping stations from a subsidiary of GCL Energy Technology Co Ltd.

Each vehicle autonomously schedules visits to these stations based on service status, location data, and battery levels, completing a rapid battery swap upon arrival to maximize operational efficiency.

The rapid commercialization and deployment of autonomous ride-hailing and taxi services are expected to drive demand for battery swapping, CITIC Securities said in a report.

This method offers advantages such as unmanned operation, high efficiency and lower costs from reduced human workforce, and is particularly suited for fixed routes and scenarios without human intervention.

CITIC Securities has forecast that the number of battery swapping stations will reach 27,500 by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 93 percent from 2022 to 2026, and the market size for battery swapping equipment is expected to reach 30.5 billion yuan ($4.2 billion).

Baidu said the decision to use battery swapping for its robotaxis stemmed from its full automation compared to the manual handling required for battery charging services, resulting in savings on labor costs.

Additionally, while recharging via a charging pole takes at least half an hour, swapping a battery only takes three minutes, saving valuable time that can be devoted to better driving services, thereby enhancing operational efficiency.

Lu Jiamin, chief automotive analyst at Cinda Securities, said: "Baidu's latest sixth-generation robotaxi has reduced vehicle costs by 60 percent compared to the fifth generation. Operating and service costs have also fallen by 30 percent and 80 percent, respectively."

Robotaxi operation service platform Ontime has estimated that a robotaxi's cost per kilometer will undercut human-driven ride-hailing services by 2026, signaling a gradual mainstreaming of robotaxi services.

Baidu hopes to achieve financial balance in Wuhan by the end of 2024 and overall profitability by 2025 for its robotaxi services.

Against this backdrop, key players in the driving and battery charging/swapping sectors have stepped up collaboration to tap the surging market.

Baidu has collaborated with GCL Energy Technology's subsidiary for battery packs and swapping stations. Shandong Weida Machinery supplies swapping station equipment and services to NIO. CATL has partnered with automobile makers and ride-hailing services such as JAC Group, Didi and BAIC Motor in the battery swapping field. Automobile companies such as the SAIC Motor and Geely have also made significant strides in this domain.

CITIC Securities anticipates robust growth of the battery swapping sector, driven by proactive efforts throughout the supply chain and promising prospects for battery swapping in taxis and heavy vehicles.
