supported pilots in the air—in fact, pilots generally assume control of their airplanes only during takeoff and landing. Those two tasks, however, are being taught to their mechanical competitors, and it's likely that both humans and cargo will soon be shuttled around in pilotless planes. ...
(Co-founder of Lockheed Corporation). Northrop had used paper planes as tests of ideas for flying real-life aircraft. Many other famous designers are known to have done this, either in the form of actual models, or else 'paper aircraft' which are numerical simulations of the aircraft design...
Then Facebook came and many of the big ideas went behind a paywall. Digg made mistakes that resulted in the birth and growth of Reddit which had less editorial oversight and favored fun over importance. I would like to blast Facebook for the harm it did and Reddit for steamrolling Digg ...
