Oh man, I'd love to read a similar article from you about the engineering of the 757.
There's generally very few sources that go deep into the engineering of planes, I'd guess because there are trade secrets.
- WalterBright 11y agoI'd like to, but it isn't exactly fresh in my mind (35 years ago), and I am concerned about trade secrets. Most people are bored by my Boeing stories :-) But I share your enjoyment of engineering stories. For example, I love reading about how the Wrights conquered their engineering problems one by one, and get annoyed when the author doesn't know his way around engineering and compensates by writing about the Wrights' love lives. Argh.
- WalterBright 11y agoBTW, the Boeing engineers of my day did have a lot of respect for the Tristar's engineering. That's a high compliment in my book :-)
