On the morning of October 26, 2026, Electra’s yellow two-seat EL2 hybrid-electric demonstrator rolled onto the pad at Downtown Skyport on Pier 6 in the East River and lifted off again after a brief ground run, the first time a fixed-wing airplane without any ability to hover had operated from that Lower Manhattan heliport. The 62-by-62-foot landing area sits on a roughly 300-foot barge that has served helicopters since 1960. Conventional airplanes need far more pavement, so the site had remained off-limits to them. Electra’s team treated the existing surface as sufficient.
Powering on an old Xiaomi Poco F1 now brings up an iOS lock screen instead of the usual Android boot animation. Orailnoor’s recent demonstration shows the phone starting directly into a modified version of Apple’s software, with the home screen, Settings app, Control Center, and basic gestures all responding to touch. The device identifies itself as an iPhone X even though the hardware underneath remains the same Snapdragon 845 board that shipped in 2018.

Buttons include a red rocker for recording, a green push-to-talk key, and others that trigger photos or covert mode.
