Leena Gade. Leena Gade is a British race engineer who has served as a lead race engineer in the FIA World Endurance Championship and IndyCar race series. In 2011, she became the first female race engineer to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2012, she won the FIA World Endurance Championship's 'Man of the Year' award and the C&R Racing Woman in Technology Award. She is also an Ambassador of the FIA Commission for Women in Motorsport.

Early life and education

Leena Gade was born in Perivale, United Kingdom, the daughter of Indian immigrants. She is one of three sisters. She grew up in England with the exception of the three years between the ages of 9 and 12, which her family spent in India. During that time she and her younger sister Teena became interested in engineering. When they returned to England both girls started watching Formula One racing. Gade has said that they became "obsessive" fans, attracted not by the sport's glamour but by their fascination with "what the machines could do". Leena Gade's sister Teena also became a race engineer.

Leena Gade studied engineering at the University of Manchester, and graduated with a Master of Science degree in aerospace engineering in 1998. She entered the university as one of five female students in a class of 100.

Career

After university, Gade worked as a vehicle refinement engineer for Jaguar Cars for six and a half years. Meanwhile, she worked part-time as an engineer on racing teams in the Formula BMW, A1 Grand Prix, and GT racing classes. In 2006, she went to the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time as part of the Chamberlain Synergy Le Mans Prototype team. She went to work for Audi Sport Team Joest in 2007. In 2011, she became the first female race engineer to win at Le Mans, with drivers André Lotterer, Benoît Tréluyer and Marcel Fässler. She and her team won again in 2012 and 2014. In 2012, Gade moved to Germany, where she worked on developing new race cars for Audi in addition to being a race engineer. As the Audi LMP1 was closed in 2016, Gade left to work for Bentley Motorsport.

In December 2012, Gade was named FIA World Endurance Championship 'Man of the Year', and in the same month she received the C&R Racing Women in Technology award. In 2013, she was named an ambassador for the FIA Commission for Women in Motorsport. She was a Formula Student ambassador in 2013 and 2014.

In 2018, she took the role as race engineer for James Hinchcliffe as part of Schmidt Peterson Motorsports's IndyCar program on the No. 5 car. Gade and the team parted ways after Hinchcliffe failed to qualify for the 2018 Indianapolis 500.

In 2019, Gade was hired by Canada's Multimatic to engineer the No. 77 Mazda RT24-P Daytona Prototype International (DPi) entry in the WeatherTech Sportscar Championship.  Later that year, she was appointed president of the FIA GT Commission overseeing global grand tourer racing.

Austel Motorcycles. Austel Motorcycles were produced by Austel Engineering of Maidenhead, Berkshire, England between 1985 and 1991. It was the idea of engineer/designer Chris Castell to use a Mini car engine in a motorcycle to produce a long-lasting, economic to ride and service motorcycle. The Austel name was derived from the first letters of the Austin (Mini engine) and the last letters of Castell with the second l dropped.

The first Austel 1000 MK1 prototype was built in 1981 for Chris's own use, and this was closely by the MK2 which was built for local businessman John Kemp. These bikes had 1000 cc Mini engines with foot-operated automatic gear boxes (including reverse), side-mounted radiators, chain drive, Yamaha alloy wheels, Austel leading link forks and were named Lotec due to the simplicity of design.

The natural design progression from the Lotec was the Pullman combination motorcycle. The heavy but economic Mini engine lent itself to having a sidecar attached for long-distance touring. The first Austel Pullman prototype appeared in 1987 with a Mini 850 cc engine, shaft drive, solenoid-operated handlebar-mounted gear change, drum brakes, Austel 8-spoke steel wheels and leading link anti dive front forks. The production models were revised to have 1300 cc engines, full duplex frame with box-section swing arm, twin front disc brakes with single rear disc and a front-mounted radiator. With the sidecar attached it was then possible to have a manual gearbox with hand gear stick although this meant the gear selection was rotated 90 degrees due to the engine being positioned longitudinally in the frame. The sidecar choice was down to the customer and could be fitted with a fuel tank in the boot for greater capacity and a dummy tank on the bike that could be removed easily for engine maintenance. No two Austel motorcycles were ever the same due to design developments and customer requirements.

Excluding the prototypes, it is believed that 11 Austel production motorcycles were made between 1985 and 1991, ten before the death of Chris Castell and one from parts afterwards. Production machines have the following frame number configuration; AUS85(Austel start of production)/production number/L or P(Lotec or Pullman)/year of manufacturer.

There is an Austel 1000 cc Lotec motorcycle on display at the London Motorcycle Museum.

Navy Building 38. Navy Building 38 is a historic building on Route 1 in Fagatogo, American Samoa.  Located on the north side of the road, it is a roughly square single-story building with a shallow-sloping pyramidal roof, that extends beyond the concrete block walls to create a lanai supported by fluted cast metal columns.  The concrete blocks used in its construction were locally manufactured.  The building was constructed about 1917 by the United States Navy as part of Naval Station Tutuila, to provide a home for high-powered radio transmission equipment capable of communicating directly with naval facilities in Hawaii during the First World War.  It is one of three buildings known to have been built at the time with this combination of materials.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

WLT Sparrow. The Wolfsberg Aircraft Sparrow ML is a twin boom, pusher configuration ultralight aircraft seating two in tandem. Designed and built in the Czech Republic, originally by Wolfsberg Letecká Továrna (WLT) which was renamed Wolfberg Aircraft in 2017.

Design and development
The Sparrow is largely built from carbon fibre.  Its wing has a short span rectangular section between the tail-booms and straight-tapered outer panels with angled tips. There are short ailerons with flaps between them and the twin slender booms. Each boom carries an angled, straight edged fin and rudder; the tailplane, with a one-piece elevator fitted with an offset trim tab, is mounted on top of the fins.

The Sparrow's fuselage has a smooth profile partly defined by multipanel glazing that extends almost from the nose back beyond the wing leading edge.  Access to both of the tandem seats is via a wide port-side door.  The aircraft is normally flown from the front; the rear seat, placed over the leading edge, can also be provided with controls and instrumentation for an instructor (the Trainer version) or, as on the Clubman, be a passenger position. A ballistic recovery parachute is an option.  The Sparrow has a fixed tricycle undercarriage; all three wheels have speed fairings and the main wheels have faired legs under the wings, raked back  from the forward ends of the booms.

The Sparrow first flew on 24 August 2010 and production started in 2012. It achieved Czech certification on 1 March 2013 and by the summer of that year six had been built. French certification was obtained in January 2014 and it appeared on public display for the first time at the AERO Friedrichshafen show in 2014. The display example is a later version powered by a  Rotax 912 ULS flat-four, air- and liquid-cooled engine.

Variants
