55 metres is a sprint event in track and field.It is a relatively uncommon non-championship event for indoor track and field. The history of the event lies in the 60-yard dash, which is about 5 inches shorter than 55 metres.
Because the distances are so similar, a conversion of 0.01 seconds is sometimes applied in statistical lists to convert 60 yd hurdle marks to equivalent 55 m hurdles times. [1] The 70 yards hurdles was also an uncommon distance held indoors beginning at the 1956 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships and ending by the 1963 Championships. [2]
The 60 meter hurdles, 55 meter hurdles, or their imperial 60 yard hurdles equivalent, often called the "high hurdles", has been contested at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships since its founding in 1965.
In 1997 she was sold to an Italian millionaire and towed initially to Devonport for conversion to a luxury yacht, [3] the Bleu de Nîmes (IMO 7813913). [4] The extensive rebuild in Turkey was completed in 2005. Another rebuild in Italy completed in 2020 increased her length by 16 metres to 72.25 metres (237 ft). [5]
Track gauge conversion is the changing of one railway track gauge (the distance between the running rails) to another. In general, requirements depend on whether the conversion is from a wider gauge to a narrower gauge or vice versa, on how the rail vehicles can be modified to accommodate a track gauge conversion, and on whether the gauge conversion is manual or automated.
The first prototype, an EV-55M (military version), flew from Kunovice Airport in June 2011, with company pilot Josef Charvat and military pilot Maj. Jiri Hana at the controls. [3] It was estimated at $2.1 to $2.2 million in 2012. [4] The first production-conforming aircraft flew from Kunovice in April 2016. [5]

DP-65 uses sonar Anapa-ME for underwater target detection. DP-65 high explosive grenades RG-55M are akin to miniature depth charges equipped with jet engine with an annular stabilizer. In 1991, the DP-65 automated, small size, remotely-controlled Rocket Grenade Launcher system was developed and adopted by the Soviet Navy.
