Found out what the old CEO of AutoTrader did when he retired:

 

I used to love talking old cars with Chip. The man had impeccable taste. Sat with him and the VP at the company Christmas party one year. Just a friendly guy who always treated me nicely.

No way that is real.  Cool concept but zero reason to do that with an actual plane.  I mean, it certainly COULD fly that low, but no way they would.

Air zoo?

The left foot in the drivetrain ergonomics looks like a good way to break a leg.

I've ridden one of these

It was simultaniously easier to ride and more insane than I  anticipated.

You haven't seen E36 M3. That's a direct drive V8. No clutch. Drop it off the stand for a 1/4 mile smoke show. EJ Potter totally earned the moniker The Michigan Madman.

I teach a class on TRIZ and I use a similar image of a multi-bank radial engine as an example of technical system evolution.

Another example...clearly it's time to look for the system that comes after oars.

Nice. If we ever make it that far, I bet they'd probably be built in orbit. I hope my kids or somebody gets to see that someday.

In the Star Trek history, they were built in orbit.

 

Re: 944s  Saw a 944 get on I-71 at my entrance this morning.  He wanted to drive faster than I wanted to drive so all I know is that it was brownish smiley
