TAI T929 ATAK 2. The TAI T929 ATAK 2 is a twin-engine, heavy attack helicopter under development by Turkish Aerospace Industries. The helicopter is designed for attack, electronic warfare and reconnaissance missions in all-weather environments in both day and night conditions.

The Atak 2 will incorporate some sub-systems and components developed under T129 and the T625 Gökbey helicopter projects.

Development 
In November 2018, the Turkish Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSB) initiated the heavy-class Atak 2 helicopter comparable to Boeing AH-64 Apache for Turkish military and potential export markets. In February 2020, the Turkish Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSB) signed a contract with Turkish Aerospace Industries to develop the helicopter for an undisclosed value.

The Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) is developing the T929 Atak 2 helicopter using industrial experience gained through the joint T129 Attack helicopter project between Turkish Aerospace Industries and the Italian Leonardo Company.

It is being developed to meet a need for a heavy attack helicopter for the Turkish Land Forces and a requirement from the Turkish Navy to operate from the TCG Anadolu amphibious assault ship (LHD).

Design 
The T929 helicopter features tandem seats, asymmetrical weapons bay, high ammunition capacity, low infrared (IR) signature, digital cockpit, ballistic protection, improved avionics, electronic warfare and countermeasure capability.

The helicopter will be fitted with a nose-mounted forward-looking infrared (FLIR) turret that includes target-tracking functionality. The helicopter will also feature electronic warfare systems such as infrared/ultraviolet missile-warning sensors and a tail-mounted directed-infrared countermeasure (DIRCM) system to jam heat-seeking missiles.

The heavy class helicopter can be tasked with air-to-ground combat, air-to-air combat, armed reconnaissance surveillance and close air support (CAS) operations.

Engines 
The T929 Atak 2 will be powered by two 2,500 horsepower turboshaft engines. Turkish TAI has signed an agreement with Ukraine's Motor Sich to supply fourteen TV3-117 engines for its developmental ATAK 2 heavy attack helicopter.

ETAP 24i. The ETAP 24i is a Belgian trailerable sailboat that was designed by Marc-Oliver von Ahlen as a cruiser and first built in 1999.

Production
The design was built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium starting in 1999, but it is now out of production.

Design
The ETAP 24i is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. The construction uses a polyester glassfibre and foam sandwich, with provides buoyancy, making the boat unsinkable. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, twin transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or fixed tandem shoal draft keels. The tandem keel version displaces  and carries  of ballast, while the fin keel version displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard fin keel and  with the optional dual tandem shoal draft keels.

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 1GM diesel engine of  or a small outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds , the fresh water tank has a capacity of  and the waste tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side. Cabin headroom is .

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a spinnaker.

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.

A review in Better Sailing stated, "the Etap 24i is the boat that will do whatever you want it to. It is small enough to trail, big enough to cruise for a fortnight, and fast enough to win races, the Etap 24i is as versatile as they come."

Tom Dove wrote in a 2005 review in Sail magazine, "a single-reefed mainsail and full jib were just the right combination for my test sail in 15-plus knots of wind on a choppy Chesapeake Bay. The 24i was never overpowered in these conditions and always felt solid and controllable, whether tacking, gybing, working to windward, or skimming down waves. Boatspeed ranged from 5 knots upwind to 6 knots on a beam reach. The tacking angle was between 85 and 90 degrees ... The tandem keel does have a handling quirk. If you pinch the boat when going to windward, it makes noticeable leeway, but as soon as you fill the sails properly and foot off a bit, it digs in and behaves like a standard fin. The boat’s 3-foot draft would be perfect for the [Florida] Keys or the Bahamas. "

ETAP 32s. The ETAP 32s is a Belgian sailboat that was designed by Mortain & Mavrikios as a cruiser and first built in 2003.

The design was named Boat of the Year in 2002 by Cruising World.

Production
The design has been built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium since 2003. It remained advertised as still in production in 2021.

Design
The ETAP 32s is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. The construction is of a polyester glassfibre and closed-cell polyurethane foam sandwich, which provides buoyancy and makes the boat unsinkable. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom with steps, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a vertically-mounted tiller and a fixed wing keel or optional twin tandem keels. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard wing keel and  with the optional shoal draft tandem keels.

The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo diesel engine of  for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is L-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located aft of the navigation station on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is  at the companionway.

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.

In a 2003 review Cruising World writer Time Murphy describes the vertical tiller system, "the unique helm, called EVS for Etap Vertical Steering, is a tiller that moves athwartships in a vertical plane. The vertical post is attached by Delrin rack-and-pinion gears to the rudderstock. If you're accustomed to steering with a conventional tiller, the motion of this one runs counter to everything you've ever learned: Push the bar left, and the boat steers left. But as each of our judges learned, any confusion ends quickly. 'I really enjoyed steering that boat," said BOTY judge Carol Hasse. "It's quite responsive, and the helm felt balanced.'"

J. W. Wilson. J. W. Wilson (Joseph William Wilson; 11 October 1829 – 5 November 1898) was an English engineer. He was a consulting engineer in the construction of piers, and founded the School of Practical Engineering at Crystal Palace School.

Life

Early life and career
Wilson was born in Walthamstow, son of the Rev. William Wilson, vicar of Walthamstow. He was intended for the church, and was entered for Wadham College, Oxford; preferring a career in engineering, he was placed as a pupil with his cousin Charles Fox, of the firm Fox and Henderson. At the end of his pupilage he was an assistant at the firm, in charge of the machinery used for the preparation of timber in the construction of the Crystal Palace, the building housing the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Oldbury and Banbury
In 1852, in partnership with his brother-in-law Samuel H. F. Cox, Wilson established at Oldbury (now in West Midlands) the Oldbury Engineering Works. It employed 300 to 400 men, and made pumping engines and other machinery, including machinery for the goldfields of California.

For health reasons, he retired from the Oldbury works. He became a consulting engineer at the Timber Works in Banbury, Oxfordshire, and patented in 1855 a circular gouge and disc-paring tool for timber machinery, for which he received a medal from the Royal Society of Arts.

London

In 1857 Wilson established himself as a consulting engineer in London, and was involved in the construction of piers including those at Teignmouth and Bognor Regis.

In 1872, with the support of George Grove, secretary of Crystal Palace School, he founded there the School  of Practical Engineering, which combined theory and practice of engineering. Wilson was its principal for 26 years.

He was a member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers and a fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute. Wilson died at his home in Kenley in 1898.

Family
His son Joseph William Wilson (1851–1930) was co-founder and first vice-principal of the Crystal Palace School of Engineering, and succeeded his father as principal in 1898; his son Maurice Wilson (1862–1936) became principal in 1924.

Convair Submersible Seaplane. The Convair Submersible Seaplane (or "Subplane") was a United States Navy project to produce a seaplane which could travel underwater as well as fly.

History 
Between 1962 and 1964, the Navy granted a contract to Convair, a military aircraft arm of General Dynamics, to design and develop the vehicle, intended for anti-submarine warfare. The craft's operational deployment would be to scout for enemy submarines from the air and, if any were detected, land on the water, submerge, and engage them underwater. One envisioned deployment was to attack shipping in the Soviet Union's marginal seas – the Baltic, Black, and Caspian seas.  
  
The specifications were for a craft capable of operating in sea state 2 (waves of maximum height of ), a cruising speed in flight of up to , and an underwater performance of up to , a depth of down to , and an endurance of 10 hours.

Convair's design was for a narrow-hulled flying boat (rather than a floatplane). The craft was to be powered by three turbojets, carry a crew of two, and carry a payload of . The craft was to have used ballast tanks to dive and surface, much as a conventional submarine does, located in the wings and fuselage. The weaponry was to be torpedoes or mines. For undersea operations, the turbojets would be sealed water-tight, and underwater propulsion would be provided by a battery-powered electric motor driving a propeller.

Convair made detailed designs and built scale models which were tested, and averred that the craft would work, but the project did not get beyond that stage and was cancelled by Congress in 1965 or 1966.

The design was Sail magazine's Yacht of the Year in 2017.

Production
The design has been built by ETAP Yachting in Belgium since 2005. It remained advertised as still in production in 2023.

Design
The ETAP 26s is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. The construction is of a polyester glassfibre and closed-cell polyurethane foam sandwich, which provides buoyancy and makes the boat unsinkable. It has a fractional sloop rig with a bowsprit; a plumb stem; a vertical, walk-through transom; dual, canted, transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft dual keels. The fin keel version displaces  and carries  of lead ballast, while the dual keel version displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard fin keel and  with the optional shoal draft tandem keels.

The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine or a small outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settees in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides, just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove and a sink. The head is located in the bow cabin on the port side. The fresh water tank has a capacity of .

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club, the ETAP Owners Association.

A Xboat review reported, "right from its launch, the ETAP 26s was a trendsetter, with its safe, deep cockpit, the flowing lines of its cabin sofas, the recessed foredeck hatch and much more."

A profile in 2Yachts states, "Etap 26s was ... [a] landmark yacht and a kind of a trendsetter in the field of small cruisers. The yacht immediately after his birth became popular among the sailors due to a combination of several technical solutions. Among them: a deep, safe and well-planned cockpit, comfortable, spacious and well equipped below deck space, the ability to move the yacht on a trailer, the possibility of picking different keel options including a lifting keel and double that facilitate the possibility of walking on shallow waters and giving you the opportunity to pull the boat into the water right off the trailer on the slip, without any crane."
