UPI Sets Searing Pace

  •  While digital payments overall have been growing strongly, people are changing the way they transact, choosing bank-to-bank methods such as the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) over other instruments such as e-wallets.
  • As per an analysis of data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and some industry players from April 2018 to March 2019 shows that not only is the UPI platform outperforming e-wallets in terms of the value of transactions done, but it is also eating away at e-wallets' market share in specific areas such as person-to-merchant (P2M) transactions.
  • Payments made on the UPI platform saw a remarkable growth of over 400% in the April to March period, from a little more than Rs. 27,000 crore in April 2018 to Rs. 1.35 lakh crore in March 2019.

World's Largest Plane

  •  The world's largest aeroplane, with two fuselages and six Boeing 747 engines, made its first test flight in California.
  • The mega jet, called Stratolaunch, carried out its maiden voyage over the Mojave Desert.
  • It is designed to carry into space, and drop, a rocket that would in turn ignite to deploy satellites.
  • It is supposed to provide a more flexible way to deploy satellites than vertical takeoff rockets because this way all that is needed is a long runway for takeoff.
  • The aircraft is so big that its wing span is longer than a football field, or about 1.5 times that of an Airbus A380.
  • Specifically, the wing span is 117 metres while it is just under 80 metres for an Airbus A380.
  • The plane flew for about two-and-a-half hours.
  • It hit a top speed of 304 km per hour and reached an altitude of 17,000 feet (5,182 metres).
