Haufe HA-S-2 Hobby. The Haufe HA-S-2 Hobby is an American, high-wing, single seat glider that was designed by Bruno Haufe and Klaus Hill for amateur building and first flown in 1967.

Design and development
The HA-S-2 all-metal sailplane design was built as a follow-on to the previous Haufe-Hill collaboration, the Haufe HA-G-1 Buggie all-metal utility glider. The HA-S-2 took five years to design and build and first flew in Utah in 1967. The aircraft features a fixed monowheel landing gear, spoilers and is registered as an Experimental - amateur-built.

After the prototype HA-S-2 was finished a second example was completed from plans by Russell Worrell of Morgan, Utah in 1971. This version has a cockpit that is  wider and has in increased wingspan of ,  greater than the original. The second example was designated as the HA-S-3 Hobby and is also registered as an Experimental - amateur-built.

Variants

Curtiss-Bleecker SX-5-1 Helicopter. The Curtiss-Bleecker Helicopter was an American prototype rotary wing aircraft, introduced in 1926. The thrust of the aircraft was distributed from a central mounted engine through shafts to propellers mounted on each rotor blade.

Design and development
The Bleecker Helicopter was designed by Maitland B. Bleecker, a junior engineer from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. The aircraft was constructed by Curtiss Wright for $250,000 over the course of four years at Garden City.

The aircraft featured a rotary wing design with a single engine. Each rotor, painted silver and yellow, had an individual propeller for thrust and a trailing control surface called a "stabovator" to change pitch of the rotor. The aircraft was controlled by a stick that operated like a modern helicopter collective control. Yaw was controlled with a "spin vane" that used downwash from the rotor to pivot the aircraft with foot pedals.

Operational history
Testing on the Bleecker Helicopter was stopped after the failure of a drive shaft on a test flight in 1929. By 1933 the project was abandoned following vibrational issues in further tests.

BYU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. The BYU College of Computational, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences was first organized in 1949 the College of Physical and Engineering Sciences.  Engineering was later separated off and merged with the College of Industrial and Technical Education to form the College of Engineering and Technology. The founding dean of the newly formed College of Physical and Mathematical Science in 1972 was Jae R. Ballif. In 2024, as part of the 50th celebration of the college, it was rebranded to the name we know today: the College of Computational, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences. The name change celebrates the huge significance of not only the computer science department, but also how computing has changed each of the departments. The dean during this name change in 2024 was Grant Jensen.

The Brigham Young University College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences consists of seven departments.

Chemistry and Biochemistry
Computer Science
Geological Science
Mathematics
Mathematics Education
Physics and Astronomy
Statistics

The department of physics and astronomy offers a broad array of classes in both these subjects.  It operates the BYU planetarium and the various telescopes connected with BYU's observatory.  Besides astronomy the department has research groups in Acoustics; Atomic, Molecular and Optical studies; Condensed Matter; Plasma; and Theoretical and Mathematical physics.  The program also works closely with the David O. McKay College of Education to train physics teachers primarily to teach in high schools. The College also supervises the BYU Center for Animation.

BYU Photo Studio
The BYU Photo Studio began as part of the Physics Department.  This was largely because it was founded by Wayne B. Hales who was a physics professor and had begun photography instruction at BYU.  It originally primarily served the needs of the Banyan, BYU's Yearbook.  From 1969-1985 the Photo Studio was directed by George Lee Hampton II.

S-Wing Swing. The S-Wing Swing (called the S-wing Aircraft Swing 06 in the United States) is a high-wing, two-seat, single-engine ultralight/light sport aircraft designed and built in the Czech Republic.

Design and development
The Swing is a conventionally laid out ultralight/LSA aircraft with a single engine and high wing. The composite parts are built using a vacuum technology producing a sandwich structure. The fuel tank, engine mount and lift struts use melamine composites. The constant chord wings, carrying 3° of dihedral, are built from GRP composite with hard leading edges and fabric elsewhere. Each wing has a single lift strut with a short auxiliary strut joining it near the wing.  The wings carry GRP mass-balanced ailerons and three-position plain flaps.

The fin of the Swing has a strongly swept leading edge and a nearly upright rudder.  Early versions had an all moving, though braced, tailplane mounted about halfway up the fin but more recently this has been replaced by a fuselage mounted tailplane.  Narrow near the tail, the fuselage increases in diameter to the cabin, placed under the wings. Cockpit width is . The cockpit features bulged, glazed doors to improve visibility and room. Dual controls are standard, the seating side by side.

The early Swings were powered by either 60 kW (80 hp) Rotax 912 UL flat-four engine or the two-stroke twin-cylinder 49 kW (65 hp) Rotax 582 UL, driving propellers with two or more blades. Current (2010) aircraft have the 74 kW (99 hp) Rotax 912 ULS flat-four with a two-bladed propeller.

The Swing has a fixed undercarriage, which may be of either tricycle or tailwheel configuration.

The aircraft has been accepted in the United States as a special light-sport aircraft.

Operational history
Swings were produced for the Czech market until around 1997.  Eleven had been sold by the time it became available in the United States from 2007. Thirteen had been produced by mid-2010. Three appear on the European (excluding Russian) civil registers, all in the Czech Republic.

Robey-Peters Gun-Carrier. The Robey-Peters Gun-Carrier was a British three-seater armed tractor biplane designed and built by Robey & Company Limited at Bracebridge Heath, Lincoln for the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS).

The gun-carrier was a single-engined three-bay biplane powered by a  Rolls-Royce engine. The Gun-Carrier had a gondola on each of the upper wings to carry a Davis gun (a form of recoilless rifle) and a gunner, while the pilot sat alone in a cockpit in the rear fuselage, just forward of the aircraft's tail. He was provided with windows in the sides of the cockpit to improve the extremely poor view caused by the cockpit's location. Two were ordered for the RNAS in May 1916 but the first aircraft (serial number 9498) crashed on its maiden flight from Bracebridge Heath in May 1917. The second aircraft was not completed and no others were built.

Operators
