Árnason JFP-2S-8
The Árnason JFP-2S-8 was a 1990s Icelandic experimental aircraft that utilised jet flap technology. It did not fly. Design and development Kristján Árnason was an aircraft engineer who designed and built the JFP-2S-8 to incorporate a 'jet flap propulsion' system he had devised and for which he had been granted a WIPO patent. The aeroplane was a high-wing monoplane, of canard configuration. Two intakes, positioned midway along the fuselage, fed air to two high-pressure turbines, powered by a pair of two-stroke engines. The compressed air was then expelled out over full-span flaps that formed the trailing edges of both the forewing and the main wing. The aeroplane featured a fully faired fuselage, an enclosed cockpit, a central tailfin, and a fixed tricycle undercarriage. Design commenced in 1975, construction started circa 1987 and was completed in 1996. Both the aircraft's model name and its registration of TP-JFP reference its 'jet flap propulsion' system.

WikiProject Aircraft
A WikiProject, or Wikiproject, is an affinity group for contributors with shared goals within the Wikimedia movement. WikiProjects are prevalent within the largest wiki, Wikipedia, and exist to varying degrees within Wikimedia project, sibling projects such as Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikidata, and Wikisource. They also exist in different languages, and translation of articles is a form of their collaboration. During the COVID-19 pandemic, CBS News noted the role of Wikipedia's WikiProject Medicine in maintaining the accuracy of articles related to the disease. Another WikiProject that has drawn attention is WikiProject Women Scientists, which was profiled by ''Smithsonian Magazine, Smithsonian'' for its efforts to improve coverage of women scientists which the profile noted had "helped increase the number of female scientists on Wikipedia from around 1,600 to over 5,000".
