Zefir (food)
Zefir ( rus, зефи́р, Ukrainian: Зефір, Lithuanian: Zefyras, may also be spelled ''zephyr'' or ''zephir'') is a type of soft confectionery made by whipping fruit and berry purée (mostly apple puree) with sugar and egg whites with subsequent addition of a gelling agent like pectin, carrageenan, agar, or gelatine. It is produced in the countries of the former Soviet Union. The name given after the Greek god of the light west wind Zephyr symbolizes its delicate airy consistency. History Zefir is derived from the traditional Russian pastila confectionery, but with added egg white foam and a gelling agent. () An addition of unwhipped egg whites to the recipe originated in the town of Kolomna sometime during the 15th century, and in the 19th century the zefir dessert most likely emerged in its modern form with whipped egg whites due to a French adaptation on the recipe that was later brought back to Russia. Form and consistency The form typically resembles traditional mer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SZD-19 Zefir
The SZD-19 Zefir (''Szybowcowy Zakład Doświadczalny'' - Glider Experimental Works) is a single-seat glider aircraft that was designed and built in Poland from 1957. Although they all bore the same name, the different versions of Zefir were actually quite different gliders in terms of materials used, design and performance. What unified them most was the person of the lead designer - Bugumił Szuba and the use of large Fowler flaps to get superior (for the era) performance both at low and high-speed flight. The Zefir series (in particular Zefir-3, with its L/D of 42+) is perhaps the ultimate design of the wooden glider construction era. Intended to replace the SZD-8 Jaskółka as the Polish team mount at the World Gliding Championships in 1958 in Leszno, the SZD-19 Zefir was a high-wing glider with a wooden and glass-fibre fuselage, retractable undercarriage and all-metal wings incorporating hydraulically actuated flaps. The first prototype SZD-19X Zefir flew on 31 December ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
