Context paragraphs:
Hasan Masurica: Mulla Hasan Masurica (22 January 1869 – 1942), Old Style) was an Albanian architect, scientist, engineer, inventor and muezzin who is considered to be one of the leading innovators and prominent science figures in late 1800s and early 1900s.  Masurica is mostly known for building an airplane out of poplar.  The airplane was reported to have flown around 50–70 metres for a distance as long as 300 metres.  All of this was done in 1899, a period at which Hasan was 30 years old.

Junkers J 1: The Junkers J 1, nicknamed the "Blechesel" ("Tin Donkey" or "Sheet Metal Donkey"), was the world's first practical all-metal aircraft.  Built early in World War I, when aircraft designers relied largely on fabric-covered wooden structures braced with struts and exposed rigging lines, the Junkers J 1 was a revolutionary development in aircraft design, being built and flown only 12 years after the Wright Brothers had first flown the "Flyer I" biplane in December 1903.  Hugo Junkers' experimental all-metal aircraft never received an official "A" nor an "E-series" monoplane designation from IdFlieg and the then-designated "Fliegertruppe", probably because it was primarily intended as a practical demonstration of Junkers' metal-based structural ideas, and was officially known only by its Junkers factory model number of J 1.  It should not be confused with the later, armoured all-metal Junkers J 4 sesquiplane, accepted by the later "Luftstreitkräfte" as the Junkers J.I (using a Roman numeral).

The Airplane Factory Sling 2: The Airplane Factory Sling 2 is a South African two-seater light aircraft designed and produced by The Airplane Factory in Johannesburg, South Africa.  In 2009 the specially modified second prototype was flown around the world in a westerly circumnavigation which took 40 days.  This was the first time any aircraft of this class had achieved a circumnavigation.  The design complies with the requirements of four different regulatory aircraft classes.

Thompson Trophy: The Thompson Trophy race was one of the National Air Races of the heyday of early airplane racing in the 1930s.  Established in 1929, the last race was held in 1961.  The race was 10 mi long with 50 ft pylons marking the turns, and emphasized low altitude flying and maneuverability at high speeds.  As the race was flown around a closed course, crowds in the grandstands could easily see much of the spectacle.

HSC Master Jet: HSC "Master Jet" is an Incat-built high speed catamaran owned by Seajets.  The vessel was the first fast craft to bear a Manx name.  She was also the sixth Steam Packet Company vessel to bear the name "Snaefell".

Caudron Type L: The Caudron Type L was a two-seat French pusher configuration amphibious biplane, flown around 1913 and intended for naval use.

Team Philips: Team Philips was a catamaran sailing vessel built to try to take Pete Goss around the world in record time.

Cheyenne (catamaran): Cheyenne, formerly known as PlayStation is a large catamaran created for the 2000 around the world race known as The Race.  Like its competitors, "Cheyenne" was created for sheer speed, pushing the state of the art in materials, construction, and operation.  "PlayStation" was skippered and owned by Steve Fossett.  It is owned by and operated by Virgin Oceanic's co-founder Chris Welsh.

Steve Fossett: James Stephen "Steve" Fossett (April 22, 1944 – c. September 3, 2007) was an American businessman and a record-setting aviator, sailor, and adventurer.  He was the first person to fly solo nonstop around the world in a balloon.  He made his fortune in the financial services industry and was best known for many world records, including five nonstop circumnavigations of the Earth: as a long-distance solo balloonist, as a sailor, and as a solo flight fixed-wing aircraft pilot.

Lockheed Vega: The Lockheed Vega is an American six-passenger high-wing monoplane airliner built by the Lockheed Corporation starting in 1927.  It became famous for its use by a number of record-breaking pilots who were attracted to the rugged and very long-range design.  Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly the Atlantic single-handed in one, and Wiley Post used his to prove the existence of the jet stream after having flown around the world twice.
