Aviation company GE Aviation has added a simple and yet fun “Design Your Own Plane” game to their website. In this game you can experiment with different wing, engine and fuselage options to try to build an optimum airplane. Then, when you think you’ve come up with the perfect plane, click a button and watch it fly. Or not. (My first one did not!)
Thursten, or "Thrust" as he prefers to be called, is our resident technical genius. This is not a term used lightly... he really does have a brain the size of a planet and he solves a myriad of tricky problems for us. Thrust is particularly interested in the science of flight and, unlike many large-brain academics, is very good at explaining science in terms that normal people can understand.
