The Advantages of Rectangular Connectors in Space-Constrained Aerospace Applications

Air Electro

These systems are often designed for environments or platforms where minimizing size, weight, and volume is critical to performance, functionality, and efficiency. Engineers can integrate more functionality into a single connector, and reduce the number of components required to further save space and weight.

There’s Something Essential in the Bank

Flying Magazine

The ability to bank is essential to controlled flight. Otto Lilienthal did it by shifting his weight, but for the much larger Wright Flyer the solution was to make one wing produce more lift than the other by twisting them in opposite directions. But it cannot have been quite so obvious then. The T-38 scores around 0.26.
