Development
John Cook founded the Cook Aircraft Corporation in 1968 at Torrance, California to build and market his JC-1 Challenger cabin monoplane design.
The Challenger was a low-winged cantilever four-seat monoplane of all-metal construction. It was powered by a single 150 horsepower (110 kW) Lycoming O-320 piston engine and had a fixed nosewheel undercarriage. Two prototypes were built and the first aircraft flew in May 1969. A third prototype was built in 1971 but crashed in 1972 killing Cook. A fourth modified prototype was built by the company but was never certified and the company stop all design and development in the mid 1970s.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.”
—John Emerich Edward Dalberg, 1st Baron Acton (1834–1902)
“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
