I like the new airbus and the 747.

I saw the take off pictures - it is a beautiful aircraft.

Much too big, but it is beautiful.

I think your Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin had the right idea - way
before it's time.


It's hard to believe in this technology and computer age that the Boeing 767
was the first airplane to be 100% designed in terms of aerodynamics by a
computer.

You can tell the elegance of the design by just looking at it. Much like a
boat with good lines appears made for the water, the 767 looks like it
should be flying .... even sitting on the ground.

Still won't fly in one though.

Is it my imagination or does the wing have an unusual camber ?
