Nonplanar
You've got it! The Northrop N-9M was built as a demonstrator to prove the aerodynamics of a flying wing for what would later become the YB-36 and much later the B-2. Sadly, the last remaining example of the N-9M crashed approximately 6 months ago, killing its pilot and sole occupant. I have a...- Eugene

ACME ACME Conspiracies
I thought that old chart was posted merely as a snapshot in history, but if we're updating it to reflect current status, the long [mercenary work] link attached to my name can be removed as well. -

Only briefly. I won't have much free time until this weekend. -

[Chat Log] April-May 2019
(I think, besides the V/U directional antennas, I'm going to try and squeeze an L band antenna somewhere up there too. Will be fun for NOAA satellites if nothing else.) -
[Chat Log] April-May 2019
(Nope, no underlings to be had. Just me and whatever I can make work.) -
[Chat Log] April-May 2019
(Nah, they all have too much variation in scope. Last thing I want to do is introduce mission creep to a project, which would ensure it never gets done.) -
[Chat Log] April-May 2019
(Which, despite already having several projects running, will be fun. I have a few ideas for additional satellite goodness.) -

(Actually, the way they worded it was 'You're now in charge of getting the satellite station running') -

(I didn't get the story, but the membership director must have done something to seriously piss off the rest of the board at the executive meeting, because the board just offloaded a good chunk of his duties to me. -

(But hey, I get to do more cool stuff as a result, so meh.) -

I think for the nonplanar game I'm going to stick with one aircraft a day. -
Nonplanar
That's it. The PBY Catalina was a multi role aircraft used for everything from anti-submarine to search and rescue. As a fun little aside, an aviation museum near me is actively restoring one to airworthy status. Yet another technology demonstrator, in this case to show the promise of pure...- Eugene

Deduction Heavy is the head
To the best of my knowledge, no. There is currently a Netflix series based on this book, but I do not believe it has portrayed her to date. 11 questions left.- Eugene

My dearest friends, I am positively delighted to announce that I have survived another workday.

Jade:
I've also found that the two thieves were leaving for Algeria, thanks of a trace of DNA evidence recovered from a helmet and their past in burglary cases according to the police. -
Jon Eckart:
It's been gradually slowing for years... the theory has to do with the aging of the galaxy... it's not that we build tall stuff or heavy stuff (those have no impact on that). -
Jon Eckart:
What would the movie night thing take to do? Is there a way to limit it to members only (on here), or would any glance at chat give away the whole thing?
