Deutschland (1896 airship). Deutschland was an experimental, hydrogen-filled, non-rigid airship built in Germany in the late 19th Century by Dr Friedrich Wölfert. During a test flight in Berlin in 1897, Deutschland caught fire and crashed. Wölfert and his mechanic, Robert Knabe, were killed, thus becoming the first two airship fatalities. It was the second of Wölfert's airships to be named Deutschland.

Design and development
Deutschland had an elliptical envelope that contained the hydrogen lift gas within itself, without the use of a ballonet. Ropes passing over the top of the envelope suspended an open-framed gondola beneath. An engine drove two aluminium propellers, one at the front of the gondola for thrust, and one underneath it for altitude control. A large rudder was fitted to the rear of the gondola.

Power was originally supplied by a 2-kW (3-hp) Siemens electric motor. When this proved inadequate, Wölfert replaced it with a two-cylinder Daimler petrol engine of 6 kW (8 hp).

Operational history 
Wölfert displayed Deutschland at the 1896 Great Industrial Exposition of Berlin, where it attracted the personal attention of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The Kaiser was sufficiently impressed as to arrange for Wölfert to continue his work at the Prussian Balloon Corps in Tempelhof, Berlin.

Throughout 1896 and 1897, Wölfert tested the airship. He conducted the eighth flight on 12 June 1897 at Templehof, with himself and his mechanic Robert Knabe aboard. Deutschland quickly climbed hundreds of metres, then eyewitnesses on the ground saw the airship suddenly engulfed by flame. The wreckage crashed nearby, and Wölfert's and Knabe's charred bodies were found among it.

The fire is attributed to the open flame of the engine's Hot-tube ignition system igniting the envelope and fuel tank.

École supérieure polytechnique de Dakar. The École supérieure polytechnique de Dakar (ESP), also known as the Higher Polytechnic School of Dakar, is a professional training institution under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education of Senegal. It was founded in May 1964. It is affiliated with Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD) in Dakar but has legal personality and financial autonomy. ESP Dakar is one of the most significant engineering schools in Senegal and West Africa. It trains senior technicians and engineers in the fields of science, technology, and management.

ESP comprises six departments (computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, chemical engineering, and applied biology) as well as a department of management science and various research laboratories.

History 
Since its inception, the Higher Polytechnic School of Dakar has been a center of excellence for training students from Senegal, the sub-region, and beyond.

The Polytechnic Institute (IP), founded in May 1964, became the University Institute of Technology (IUT) in November 1967. On , law 73-17 and decree 73-387 were enacted, making the IUT a public institution with legal personality and financial autonomy within the University of Dakar.

In the 1973–1974 academic year, the National School of Public Works and Buildings (ENTPB), which trained technical agents for the Ministry of Equipment, was integrated into the IUT's civil engineering department. In the same year, other reforms allowed the IUT to offer courses in business and administration.

These additional programs led to the awarding of the Technologist Engineer Diploma (DIT) and the Higher Diploma in Business and Administration Studies (DESCAE). In 1974, the IUT became the National Higher University School of Technology (ENSUT).

On , law No. 94-78 transformed it into the Higher Polytechnic School (ESP) with two centers: Dakar and Thiès. It included ENSUT, the École polytechnique de Thiès (EPT), and the industrial section of the Normal School of Technical and Professional Education (ENSETP). At the same time, it separated from its tertiary division, which became the Higher Institute of Management (ISG) and was affiliated with the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences (FASEG).

ENSETP was reconstituted in 2005, reclaiming its industrial part that was within ESP. The former Management Department of the former ENSUT, now the Higher Institute of Management affiliated with FASEG, returned to ESP in 2006.

In 2007, the former Thiès Center of the Higher Polytechnic School (formerly EPT) became the École polytechnique de Thiès, affiliated with the University of Thiès and later directly with the Ministry of Higher Education.

Watson GW-1 Windwagon. The Watson WG-1 Windwagon is a single-seat recreational ultralight designed in the United States in 1976 and marketed for homebuilding. Designer Gary Watson originally sold kits as well as plans, but later sold only plans.

Design and development
The Windwagon is a low-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional design with fixed, tricycle undercarriage, and a single-seat open cockpit. Construction is of pop-riveted metal throughout. The outer wing panels are removable to facilitate hangering and trailering. 

Power is supplied by an air-cooled, tractor-mounted piston engine driving a propeller. The engine selected by Watson was an automotive Volkwagen air-cooled engine sawn in half across its crankcase to turn the flat-four engine into a flat-two (a modification called a "half VW"). Plans for the Windwagon included instructions for modifying a Volkswagen engine this way.

By 1987, Watson had sold over 1,025 sets of plans, and over 500 Windwagons had been built around the world.

The Hummel Bird is a development of this design.
