Lachesis (genus)
''Lachesis'' (also known commonly as the bushmasters) is a genus of pit vipers in the family Viperidae. Member species are found in forested areas of the Neotropics. The generic name refers to one of the Three Fates, Lachesis (in Greek mythology), who determined the length of the thread of life. Four species are currently recognized as being valid. Taxonomy The genus ''Lachesis'' was traditionally composed of only three species, but Campbell and Lamar (2004) recognized a fourth species, ''L. acrochorda'' ( García, 1896), referring to it as the Chochoan bushmaster. Its evolutionary relationships are not certain, but ''Lachesis acrochorda'' is thought to be closer to ''L. muta'' than to the two Central American species ''L. stenophrys'' and ''L. melanocephala''. Species ''* Not including the nominate subspecies.'' Type species. Description Adults of the genus ''Lachesis'' typically range in total length (including tail) from , although some may grow to as much as , makin ...

Stout Bushmaster 2000
__NOTOC__ The Bushmaster 2000 is a small commuter airliner built in the United States in an attempt to revive the Ford Trimotor design. Work began in 1953 by testing a vintage Trimotor and in 1954 Bill Stout purchased the design rights to the original Trimotor. Due to "Ford Tri-Motor" licensing problems, the Ford 15-AT-D was given the Bushmaster 2000 name.O'Callaghan 2002, 124. On 15 January 1955, Stout and partner Robert Hayden from the Hayden Aircraft Corporation announced they were planning to build 1,000 new Bushmasters, but it would be eleven years before the first prototype of the new design flew. The Bushmaster 2000 featured significant modernization of the original 1920s design, particularly in the choice of materials and construction techniques. It also had more powerful engines, enlarged cockpit windows, a lighter and stronger aluminum-alloy skin, a foot-operated hydraulic replacement of the old Trimotor's hand-operated " Johnny Brake," a larger stabilizer and a dorsal ...
