I used to be real interested. I was so interested that I spent over 34 years working as a Propulsion Engineer for Boeing. Worked on the 707,727,737original,SST,YC-14,757,7J7,777,HSCT, 737 New Generation. Retired as Chief Engineer for Propulsion Research and Preliminary Design for Commercial Airplanes.

The focus now is on the manufacturing technolgy,i.e. how to build 'em cheaper. The new 787 will use composites for the majority of the primary stucture, which is a first in the industry. And me? Hell, I'm raisn' cows and keepin' old tractors running! And lovin' every minute of it!
