Oh my gosh, thanks for this! This is invaluable for an aspiring aero engineer. Can't wait to read about the aeroelastic wing project on my flight to japan. And the X-29. And the Oblique wing! I love the cheesy titles.

This is unbelievable technical insight I've always wanted. Gosh, it's things like this that we need to fund NASA more for.

You could ask the NSA for some money, their budget is larger.

In a slightly parallel universe, NASA is already sending colonies on a terraformed Venus due to typos on government cheques to the NSA.

How far have you gotten in your aspirations?

Not sure if sarcasm or not. But regardless, I hope to see one of the few remaining A6M Zeros in person while over there. Also, I'm flying over on a 787 Dreamliner. What a treat!

Sure, as long as you bring a fire-extinguisher with you!

J/K'ing... have a fun trip to Japan. That's one of my top future destinations that I have't made it to yet. And getting to see that Zero up close and personal should be a real treat.

You can see a Zero in Paul Allen's collection in Everett when they have one of their many open houses.
