Engineering Inspiration
by Dave Wilson on Jun.17, 2003, under Uncategorized
I have huge respect for Burt Rutan. His bid to win the X-Prize which is currently the talk of many newstand mags (Popular Science and Wired both have major articles this month) is just the latest in a long string of truly inspirational aircraft designs. Rutan’s engineering solutions are perfect examples of not being confined by convention – true “thinking out of the box” designs.
Some of the other competitors may have a longer pedigree as far as space launch systems are concerned by my money is on Burt Rutan and Scaled Composites.
