Schreder HP-7. The Schreder HP-7 was an American glider, the first design of Richard Schreder and the first in the long line of Schreder HP sailplanes.

Design and development
Schreder built the HP-7 (HP stands for "high performance") in 1957 as a competition sailplane. Only one was built.

Operational history
The HP-7 was completed just in time to finish the Federal Aviation Administration-mandated test flying for amateur-built aircraft before the 1957 US National soaring competition started. Schreder entered the competition with the aircraft and placed well.

The aircraft was destroyed in an aerotowing incident right after the US Nationals. Schreder decided not to build another HP-7, but drawing from his short experience with the aircraft that summer, he went on to design and build the Schreder Airmate HP-8, completing it for the 1958 season.

Euro-ALA Jet Fox. The Euro-ALA Jet Fox is an Italian single-engine ultralight aircraft, seating two in side-by-side configuration. Production began in the early 1990s, with 280 sold by 2010.

Design and development
The Jet Fox is a high wing aircraft, its deep side-by-side cabin and relatively slender rear fuselage giving it a pod-and-boom appearance.  The parallel chord, fabric covered wing, mounted over the cabin is braced with a pair of narrow, V-form lift struts from the lower forward fuselage.  The wings fold for transport.  The fuselage has a tubular metal structure  within a carbon fibre shell.  The cabin is fully enclosed, with two large transparent doors. The Jet Fox has a short legged tricycle undercarriage, with spatted mainwheels on cantilever legs fixed to the fuselage at the same point as the lift struts; it sits quite tail high on the ground.  Tail surfaces are conventional, with a swept, straight tapered fin and rudder.  The Rotax engine is tractor mounted above and forward of the wing, projecting over the cabin.  Two engine choices are available, a 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 or an 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912 UL.

The original Jet Fox 91 first flew in 1991, with 140 sold by 1993.  It was followed by the Jet Fox 97, which first flew on 10 March 1997 and had a fully cowled engine.  Later improvements included better soundproofing.  By 2010, 280 examples of all models had been sold.  A proposed version with aluminium skinned wings, Fowler flaps and with easier access to a wider cabin was not proceeded with. An amphibious floatplane version appeared at Sun 'n' Fun 2006, fitted with a 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912S engine.
  
In 2010 a deal between Euro-ALA and Aircraft Holdings, a Malaysian company, formed Euroala Industries Sdn Bhd to acquire all production and design right and to move Jet Fox production to a site near Kuala Lumpur where labour costs are lower than in Italy.

Schreder Airmate HP-8. The Schreder Airmate HP-8 is an American, high-wing single seat glider that was designed by Richard Schreder after the loss of the HP-7 in 1957.

Airmate was the name of Schreder's design company.

Design and development
The HP-8 was designed as a result of the lessons learned in flying the HP-7 in the 1957 US Nationals. The HP-7 was destroyed in an aero-towing accident shortly after the Nationals and Schreder decided to improve on the earlier design with the HP-8. As in all of Schreder's designs, the HP stands for "high performance".

The HP-8 is an all-metal design with a very high aspect ratio wing of 24:1, that incorporates a NACA 65 (3)-618 airfoil. The wing is of only 110 square feet (10 m2) in area and this gives a high wing loading of 7.53 lbs/sq ft (36.8 kg/m2), allowing a high glide ratio at a high speed.

Operational history

The HP-8 was entered by Schreder in the 1958 US Nationals and placed first. Schreder set records with the aircraft in all three speed categories in 1959 and also flew it to first place in the 1960 US Nationals.

The sole example built was then sold to George B. Moffat, Jr. who raised the speed records that Schreder had set in the aircraft. The HP-8 was subsequently purchased by Fred Hefty and John Elizalde and donated to the National Soaring Museum.

Don Canney. Donald J. Canney (October 8, 1930 – March 20, 2011) was an American politician and civil engineer who served as the mayor of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for twenty-two years from 1969 to 1992. Canney is Cedar Rapids' longest-serving mayor to date.

Biography

Early life
Canney was born on October 8, 1930, to John and Alice Mickle Canney in Iowa City, Iowa. He served as an underwater demolitions expert within the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. He received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the University of Iowa. Canney married Gloria Frau on August 20, 1955, and remained together until her death in 2010.

Career
Canney served as the Cedar Rapids streets commissioner for more than six years before becoming Mayor of Cedar Rapids in 1969. Canney is credited with spearheading much of modern Cedar Rapids'  infrastructure and civic development. Projects credited to Canney include the U.S. Cellular Center, which opened in 1979 as the Five Seasons Center, the expansion of The Eastern Iowa Airport, the Edgewood Road Bridge and the 5-in-1 dam.

Canney resigned from office in 1992 after more than 22 years as mayor, when he was 61 years old. he took a position with PMX Industries Inc., a South Korea firm which had opened a facility in Cedar Rapids, where he worked for three years before his retirement. In addition to his career in engineering and politics, Canney also created his own brand of fish fillet knives, called "Canney’s Leech Lake filet knife." The knives were named for a lake in which he fished during the summer.

Don Canney died of heart failure in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on March 20, 2011, at the age of 80. His funeral was held at the St. Pius X Roman Catholic Church in Cedar Rapids. Canney's wife, Gloria (née Oberer) Canney, had died on September 13, 2010.

Current Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett announced the creation of a commission to rename a major Cedar Rapids landmark in honor of Canney. Possible choices for the memorial which have been mentioned include an airport terminal at Eastern Iowa Airport, a former federal court which is being re-purposed to become Cedar Rapids' future city hall, or the city library. Corbett explained that, "We’re looking for something significant to have Don Canney’s name associated with. Don was big into public infrastructure, so it only makes sense from the standpoint also."

Retrenchment (military). Retrenchment is a technical term in fortification, where it is applied to a secondary work or series of works constructed in rear of existing defences to bar the further progress of the enemy who succeeds in breaching or storming these. An example was in the siege of Port Arthur in 1904.

A retrenchment can also be referred to as an entrenchment.

EMPAR. EMPAR (European Multifunction Phased Array Radar) is a rotating C band multifunction passive electronically scanned array radar that reached IOC in 2006 and was initially built by Selex ES (previously SELEX Sistemi Integrati, since 2016 merged in Finmeccanica, then Leonardo S.p.A.). It is designed to be the principal radar system aboard naval vessels of medium and large sizes. The radar offers full volumetric search coverage, low altitude and surface search, the tracking of multiple targets, and the capability to uplink information for missile guidance.

Details

EMPAR's principal function is 3D volumetric air search, providing a bearing, range and altitude for air traffic out to ranges of . It is capable of tracking aircraft or smaller targets such as missiles. The system employs a single narrow beam for transmission, plus multiple beams for reception. These can be steered electronically, allowing the EMPAR to scan very rapidly across a wide angle of bearing and/or elevation. It thus provides the simultaneous monitoring of an entire hemisphere. The flat face of the radar is rotated at 60 rpm, allowing it to sweep across the whole sky very rapidly. The system therefore provides an almost continuous 360 degree view, in contrast to earlier rotating radar systems which often took ten seconds or more to sweep the sky. This capability is important to air defence systems given the great speed of modern anti ship missiles such as the P-270 Moskit or BrahMos.

EMPAR continuously analyses the data it receives and will automatically adapt the frequency and waveform it is using as necessary. As with all phased array radars it is difficult to jam or interfere with and can work in the presence of intense clutter. EMPAR is compatible with the PAAMS system, providing guidance to Aster 15 or 30 missiles for medium or long range air defence.

Salvay-Stark Skyhopper. The Salvay-Stark Skyhopper I is a low-wing single-place homebuilt aircraft designed in 1944.

Development

The Skyhopper design was started in 1944 by two North American Aviation engineers from Kansas City. They had previously partnered on the Commonwealth Skyranger and worked on the B-25 program. It was engineered to the then current Civil Aeronautics Administration CAR-04 standards criteria of the time. As a light aircraft under construction during wartime, permission needed to be granted for tools and materials by the CAA.

Design
The single-seat low-wing aircraft was intended to be open cockpit, but was redesigned to have a full canopy. The fuselage is welded steel tubing. The wings use spruce wood spars and ribs with fabric covering. The controls are actuated with push/pull tubes. The stabilizers are covered with mahogany plywood. The Skyhopper I is the plans built version of the prototype introduced in 1958.

Operational history
The prototype was test flown from Fairfax Airport in Kansas City in March 1945. In 1946, The effort to produce the aircraft as a production certified aircraft under the company name Aviation Boosters Inc. was dropped, but Gene Salvay retained the rights to the aircraft where it could be built as a homebuilt aircraft.

Variants
 Skyhopper I - original version of the skyhopper. Continental 50 hp engine.
 Skyhopper II  - designed in 1962 to sit two passengers side by side via a  widening of the Skyhopper 10 fuselage design. It was built by Ralph Thenhaus of Van Nuys, California.
 A two-seat tandem modification of the Skyhopper was built using a Continental O-200 engine.
 Trefethen Sport-Aire II - A wider fuselage tricycle gear version based on Stark's Super Skyhopper jigs. Built by Stark, Art Thistle and Al Trefethen. Other changes made were a swept tail, a tapered wing, and a Lycoming O-295 engine.

Gene Salvay. Melvin Eugene Salvay (November 15, 1919 – April 8, 2016) was an American aircraft engineer.

Early life 

Salvay was born in Kansas City, Missouri. Gene's father, Israel David Salvay (b:1889 in Veisiejai, Lithuania) was a fashion designer and pattern maker; his mother, Anna (Kiansky) Salvay (b:1895 in Starodub Russia) worked as a seamstress in order to get her sons, Seymour Nathan Salvay (b:1916; Hump Pilot in WWII and, later, Vice President of Milgram Food Stores, Kansas City, MO) and Gene through high school and training as aeronautical engineers.

Education 
Salvay graduated Central High School, Kansas City, Missouri, in 1936. That same year, he won 1st place nationally in the Fisher Body coach-building contest with a model of a horse-drawn carriage.  The next year, he won 2nd place nationally in the Fisher Body auto-design contest.  He continued his education at Curtiss-Wright Technical School, Glendale Airport, California from which he received his engineering degree in Spring 1941: Design courses at Curtiss-Wright were given at the school's campus in Glendale; its more technical engineering courses were given at Caltech.

Career 
Salvay went to work for Rearwin, designing the Rearwin Skyranger, later the Commonwealth Skyranger. During World War II, Salvay went to work at North American Aviation in Kansas City developing the B-25 Mitchell. Salvay partnered with a fellow North American Aviation engineer Stark to design the Salvay-Stark Skyhopper in 1944. Initially planned to be a production aircraft, it became an early post-war Homebuilt aircraft. He also helped develop the Morrisey "Nifty", which was the basis for the later Varga Kachina aircraft. Salvay later became the chief engineer for North American Sabreliner

Salvay became the Director of Structural Design for the B-1 Lancer bomber. Later Salvay became director of Lockheed's Trans Atmospheric Vehicle program.

Salvay encouraged Australian aircraft engineers to work with American companies to share experience.

Family life
In 1952, Salvay married Betty May Goodman. In 1964, Salvay moved to Encino, California.

Salvay died in April 2016 at the age of 96.

British Steel Corp v Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Co Ltd. British Steel Corp v Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Co Ltd [1984] 1 All ER 504 is an English contract law case concerning agreement.

Facts
Steel nodes were delivered to the defendants after a letter of intent to buy, but no formal contract had been concluded because the claimants refused to use the defendants’ terms, and negotiations took so long. No agreement was reached on progress payments and liability for late delivery, and defendants refused to pay because of lateness and nodes coming out of sequence. British Steel Corp sued to recover the money, and Cleveland Bridge sought damages for the late payment.

Judgment
Robert Goff J's judgment accepted that a letter of intent could amount to an executory contract, but it did not in this case due to the negotiations being ongoing. The court considered but rejected the submission that the defendants' terms could have amounted to a standing offer that could be accepted by starting the work. Instead, the court decided that no contract had been entered into, and only allowed the claimants to get restitutionary recovery on a quantum meruit basis for the value of the work done. The conclusion that no contract existed meant the defendants could not recover the damages for late performance as no terms had been agreed to that extent.
