my design process an idea + skills + material + passion + lots of work: stuff you'll think is cool

Airplane bits

Air show this weekend in Homestead Air Force base... If I wouldn't be designing I would have been flying you all on a commercial airliner.  Airplanes totally and completely fascinate me: assembly, design, handling, science, mechanics, discipline required to fly, how unforgiving they are, freedom they give, how they encapsulate you from the elements and through shear domination of physics they allow us the privilege of gliding through an invisible gas to altitudes no vertical contiguous mass of earth could afford us...   But most amazing is how similar the human body, ships/boats and airplanes share in design proportions, curves/arcs, and in connections/joints.  The way we are put together (all three) share many similarities: Feel free to play connect the dots with the symbolism...
