Timelapse Travel: ‘Prati Di Tivo’, Apennine Mountains Of Central Italy (Video)
Filmed and Edited by: Giovanni Lattanzi
Prati di Tivo is a splendid mountain place, on the eastern side of the Gran Sasso chain, right at the foot of the giant. It offers woods, ski slopes, but above all two extraordinary views, one towards the Laga and one over the Vomano valley and the Adriatic coast, with a view that sweeps as far as the eye can see towards the sea. But above all it is a suggestive natural balcony on the Gran Sasso d’Italia, both during the day and at night, when the Milky Way runs fast on the peaks.

Future Of Air Travel: ‘Airbus ZEROe – Next-Gen Hydrogen Planes’ (Video)
Airbus has revealed three concepts for the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft which could enter service by 2035. These concepts each represent a different approach to achieving zero-emission flight, exploring various technology pathways and aerodynamic configurations in order to support the company’s ambition of leading the way in the decarbonisation of the entire aviation industry.
All of these concepts rely on hydrogen as a primary power source – an option which Airbus believes holds exceptional promise as a clean aviation fuel and is likely to be a solution for aerospace and many other industries to meet their climate-neutral targets.
The three concepts – all codenamed “ZEROe” – for a first climate neutral zero-emission commercial aircraft include:
•A turbofan design (120-200 passengers) with a range of 2,000+ nautical miles, capable of operating transcontinentally and powered by a modified gas-turbine engine running on hydrogen, rather than jet fuel, through combustion. The liquid hydrogen will be stored and distributed via tanks located behind the rear pressure bulkhead.
• A turboprop design (up to 100 passengers) using a turboprop engine instead of a turbofan and also powered by hydrogen combustion in modified gas-turbine engines, which would be capable of traveling more than 1,000 nautical miles, making it a perfect option for short-haul trips.
• A “blended-wing body” design (up to 200 passengers) concept in which the wings merge with the main body of the aircraft with a range similar to that of the turbofan concept. The exceptionally wide fuselage opens up multiple options for hydrogen storage and distribution, and for cabin layout.
