Beneteau 1 Ton. The Beneteau 1 Ton, also called the Beneteau First 40 Evolution, is a French sailboat that was designed by Groupe Finot, Jean Berret and Jacques Fauroux as an International Offshore Rule One Ton class racer and first built in 1983.

The design was developed into the Beneteau First Class 12 racer in 1985.

Production
The design was built by Beneteau in France at their custom boat yard, from 1983 until 1985, with 12 boats completed, but it is now out of production.

Design
The 1 Ton is a racing keelboat, that was built with the most advanced materials that were available at the time: a carbon fibre-Kevlar foam sandwich. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a keel-stepped mast with three sets of unswept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, an open reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces  and carries  of ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel and is fitted with a Swedish Volvo MD 17 diesel engine for docking and manoeuvring. The fuel tank holds .

As a racer the design has minimal accommodation, with berths for eight people.

The design has a hull speed of  and a PHRF handicap of 60 to 72.

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by a class club that organized racing events, the One Ton Class.

A 1 Ton named Phoenix won first place in the 1985 Admiral's Cup over 17 other boats, including three other Beneteau 1 Tons, on individual points, skippered by Harold Cudmore. Cudmore had substituted the boat into the race at the last minute, when his own boat had sunk during a lead-in race.

Two 1 Tons, Fiere Lady and Glory came in second and fourth overall, in the 1985 Southern Ocean Racing Conference.

Horizon Arctic. Horizon Arctic is an anchor handling tug supply vessel (AHTS) completed in 2016 by  at its Brattvåg shipyard as Bourbon Arctic for , part of the Marseille-based Bourbon group. , it is operated by Horizon Maritime of Canada. Under Horizon, it served as the surface support vessel for the Titan submersible during its 2021 and 2022 survey expeditions to the wreck of the Titanic, conducted by OceanGate.

Design

Horizon Arctic is designed for worldwide deep sea offshore operations such as anchor handing and towing services for oil rigs. In addition, the vessel is outfitted for rescue, fire-fighting, remotely operated vehicles (ROV), and oil spill response operations. For Arctic operations, it is winterized and built to Finnish-Swedish ice class 1B with hull additionally strengthened to higher ice class 1A. The  long and  wide vessel has accommodation for up to 60 persons in 24 single and 18 double cabins.

Horizon Arctics main power plant consists of two 12-cylinder Bergen B32:40V12A main engines rated at  each and three 8-cylinder Bergen C25:33L8A diesel generators producing  each. The vessel's dual propulsion system can operate in both conventional and diesel-electric modes. The vessel's twin shaft lines with controllable pitch propellers can be driven with a maximum power of  and, when used in boost mode together with the  drop-down azimuthing bow thruster, generate a bollard pull of . In addition, Horizon Arctic has four  transverse thrusters, two in the bow and two in the stern, to enable dynamic positioning during offshore operations.

History

Bourbon Arctic was ordered in February 2014 for US$119 million and was delivered to Bourbon Offshore in March 2016. It was Bourbon's largest vessel. An earlier ship built to the same design by Vard was delivered as Skandi Iceman for DOF ASA in 2013.

Bourbon Offshore sold Bourbon Arctic to Horizon Maritime in 2019 for an estimated US$41.5 million. Following the acquisition, the ship was repainted and renamed to Horizon Arctic, continuing to operate from Norway for Horizon Maritime's local branch.

Horizon Arctic was chartered by OceanGate to serve as its surface support vessel for its  survey expeditions in 2021 and again in 2022. For 2023, OceanGate switched to , reportedly due to cost. That February, Horizon Arctic had been attached to the Bourbon Horizon joint venture headquartered in St. John's, which would operate six platform supply vessels alongside the large AHTS to provide offshore services across the Atlantic Ocean; increased demand had created a competitive market for the services of Horizon Arctic.

On June 22, 2023, a ROV from Horizon Arctic discovered a debris field approximately  off the bow of the Titanic, which included the tail section of the submersible Titan. The Odysseus 6K ROV was provided and operated by Pelagic Research Services.

Cranfield Vertigo. The Vertigo was a human-powered helicopter designed and built in the 1980s by Andrew Cranfield, an engineer with Westland Helicopters.

Development
In 1980, Cranfield was a graduate apprentice with Westland Helicopters, when he was prompted by the American Helicopter Society offering the Sikorsky Prize for human-powered helicopters, to develop a design for that competition.
 
The design Cranfield developed was a coaxial helicopter comprising two identical two-bladed rotors, each having a diameter of  and blades with a constant  chord. The lower rotor was set at 6° dihedral, and the higher rotor at 9° dihedral. In order to take advantage offered by ground effect, the rotors were set as low to the ground, and as closely together, as could be practically achieved, with the fuselage and pilot being located above the rotor assembly. The rotors were constructed of carbon fibre, styrofoam and Mylar. The blades were fixed, with the pitch and coning built into their design. Flight control was intended to be achieved by weight shift, with the pilot moving about to enable this.  Power was transmitted by to the rotors by a set of bicycle pedals powering a set of bevel and pinion gears.

In 1987, in an article published in the journal Chartered Mechanical Engineer, Cranfield described a series of trials with the Vertigo, the last of which the pilot was able to achieve the 6 rpm necessary for the craft to fly. It was reported that "the blades started to show signs of generating significant lift; this was confirmed as the aircraft began to skip around the floor." Cranfield reported issues with the transmission, and with rotor performance being affected by their being closely coupled together as needing further attention.
 
In 1989, the remains of the Vertigo were donated to The Helicopter Museum, in Weston-super-Mare, England, where they are currently on display.

Tower FRA. Tower FRA is a 1990 simulation video game developed by Atlantis Productions and published by Thalion Software for the Amiga. Ports for the Atari ST and MS-DOS were cancelled.

Gameplay
The player takes the role of an air traffic controller at either Hamburg or Frankfurt. The job is to manage things like arrivals, departures, overflights, taxiing, and take care of situations which may include engine fires or hijackings. The game is controlled through four types of radar displays: main radar, tower central, arrival, and departure.

Reception

Aktueller Software Markt criticized the speech synthesis but recommended the game to the fans of the genre. The One compared the game positively to Wesson International's RAPCON (1990) but also criticized the voices and concluded: "The lack of aesthetic pleasure however is more than made up for by the challenge and intensity that's generated." Amiga Format called the game "a strong low-level control sim; that is complex enough to challenge but friendly enough to use." Amiga Action summarized: "This game is not going to appeal to everyone, but for those of you who enjoy this type of thing Tower Fra is brilliant." Amiga Power called the game "fairly boring".

Ellingston Special. The Ellingston Special was a variable-geometry aircraft, designed by Cornwallis "Con" Ellingston of Great Falls, Montana in the late 1930s.

Background 
Ellingston, together with Earle Hansen, constructed the aircraft, with Hansen making the maiden flight on April 23, 1938. It was a single-seat low-wing monoplane, fitted with a retractable undercarriage, and was powered by a  LeBlond 90-7D radial engine, fitted with a two-bladed tractor propeller. The primary structure was constructed from 4130 chromoly steel tubing.

The aircraft's most notable feature was its telescopic wings, which could vary in span between  and , with it being possible to vary the wingspan while in flight. The maximum speed of the aircraft varied from  with the wings retracted, to  with the wings extended.

An article in the December 1939 issue of Popular Aviation magazine stated that Ellingston was working on a twin-engined transport aircraft, which would also incorporate variable span, construction of which was scheduled to begin that Winter.
