Dayton-Wright FS. The Dayton-Wright FS was a two-seat trainer that first flew in 1917. This was the first aircraft manufactured by the Dayton-Wright Company. The FS was originally known as the 'first shot' since it was the company's 'first shot' at making an aircraft. Harold Talbott, Sr., the company's president, decided later to abbreviate it to FS.

Design and development 
Designed by Charles F. Kettering, the aircraft was a conventional tractor, tandem cockpit, two bay biplane powered by a Hall-Scott A-7a engine. Construction was of wood and fabric with the engine cowling and upper fuselage surfaces made of sheet metal. Two aircraft were completed, known as the FS-1 and FS-2. In 1918, the FS-2 was modified with the addition of radio equipment for testing by Dayton-Wright and later in 1918, was refitted with a  geared Wright-Hisso E.

Operational history 
Both these aircraft were delivered to Howard Rinehart's flying school, The Wright Field Company. This company provided flight training to both civilian and military aviators, including 41 Canadian pilots for the RFC and RNAS. These pilots would go on to win 19 combat decorations between them in the Great War. By the end of 1918, the Standard J-1 had replaced the FS for training and the two aircraft were returned to Dayton-Wright where they were used for testing purposes.

Graham Fraser (industrialist). Graham Fraser (August 12, 1846 – December 25, 1915) was a Canadian industrialist.

Career 
With George Forrest McKay, he founded Hope Iron Works, a company specialized in ironing ships. The company changed name to the Nova Scotia Forge Company thereafter. With the decline of the wooden shipbuilding industry, the company diversified to also create other pieces of metal.

Fraser took advantage of John A. Macdonald's national policy, and created the Nova Scotia Steel Company to manufacture raw steel, which was needed for the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the development of industries in Canada. The production of steel ingots by the "Scotia" as the company was colloquially called, began in 1883.

In 1897, internal disputes in the "Scotia" caused Fraser to leave the company to lead the Dominion Iron and Steel Company, the chief competitor of Scotia. He retired in 1905, and returned to New Glasgow to live the rest of his days.

New Glasgow 
Fraser served various offices in New Glasgow throughout his life, as town councillor, water commissioner, and director of the Aberdeen Hospital. He was elected mayor of New Glasgow in 1910, a position he held until his death in 1915.

Legacy 
In the 1960s, a cairn showing Fraser and McKay was unveiled in Trenton, Nova Scotia by then Premier Robert Stanfield to honor these "pioneers of the Canadian steel industry".

Košava 1. The Košava 1 (from ) is a surface-to-surface missile designed by Military Technical Institute. It has a range of , with solid propellant. The Košava 1 can be fired from multiple rocket launcher, M-18 Oganj. Košava 1 launch container is similar to ALAS missile containers.

Origin
Košava 1 is development of Košava rocket bomb launcher developed in 1990's. In past aerial bombs like FAB-100 FAB-250 and FAB-500 where modified with use of rocket motor to attack ground targets. Two different platforms where developed one based on TAM 150 truck and one based on FAP 2026 truck.

Description
In order to increase easy of use Košava 1 is launched from container thus enabling easy refiling of launcher. In order to increase accuracy it has inertial guidance with TV/IR homing head. After launching wings spread and missiles fly to attitude with rocket engine. After it has reached minimum range and appropriate attitude depending on target range continues flight towards target using lift generated by wings. As it approaches towards target area in its later phase of flight is guided weapon via data-link using TV/IR head for terminal guidance. Using data-link operator can choose and lock on any designated target via TGM and point missile in wished direction. Target can be a fortification, command post or command vehicle, tank, ship, section of bridge or something else that 100kg warhead can damage or destroy. It is on weapons officer to decide target based on orders, battlefield condition, possibilities of system he uses, importance and value of target.

Dahir Insaat. (Turkish for "Dahir Construction"), often written without Turkish letters as Dahir Insaat, is a company founded in Istanbul by Russian engineer and inventor Dahir Kurmanbievich Semenov (). It is known for its futuristic design concepts, including concepts for large quadcopters, automation, and prefabrication. The designs are generally dismissed as wildly impractical, and the animated videos featuring them have frequently gone viral on the internet due to their absurd nature. Semenov has been compared to prolific inventor Buckminster Fuller.

One of Dahir Insaat's designs is for a bed that becomes a "fortress" in an earthquake. Critics have described it as a claustrophobic coffin.

Another design is for an aerial train. Insaat says it could travel at 400 mph with electricity supplied by a tether that is linked to an electrified rail. This rail runs on the ground between stations.

The firm's other designs include a drive-thru supermarket which would literally be driven through and a gyroscopic transport vehicle that would move above traffic. A writer for The Verge critically described the videos of the gyroscopic vehicle as designed for "virality" and as "futuristic transport porn."

M.A.V. (video game). Modular Assault Vehicle is a third-person shooter game created by American indie studio Bombdog studios as a spiritual successor to Chromehounds.

Plot 
The game is set in the near future, after a comet impacts with the Jovian moon Europa. A mining colony / terraforming colony is established on the now habitable moon to harvest resources to send back to a failing Earth. Due to the dire state of the planet Earth, the miners are quickly enslaved and forced into work camps. Eventually, these miners use the mining machines themselves to form a revolution.

Gameplay 
Gameplay has been said to be similar to Chromehounds, but with several modernizations and improvements. Limbs and weapons blow off when destroyed and tactical mistakes can be punishing.
