...Analysts such as Aboulafia see a future that favors Boeing's smaller, all-composite 787 (assuming it ever gets built). Airbus is already developing a new not-so-jumbo jet, the A350, for that purpose. But Air France CEO Pierre-Henri Gourgeon is sticking by his hub strategy. The skies are getting crowded, and he'd rather have the A380 to collect passengers in Paris from all over Europe and deliver them to places like New York and Johannesburg. "It's just like the big cities today," he says. "It doesn't make sense to add a lot of small...
...Thou? and Burn After Reading were mere warm-ups for this über-doofus. Striding through Iraq as if he has even a remote view of where he's going, Cassady has a confidence that almost masks his lunacy. Thus, he's the exemplar of a war rationale built on the belief in weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist...
...ways ardent modernists, but in its first years the school was caught in a contradiction: a romance with individual craftsmanship at odds with the modernist ideal of mass production. Even the name Bauhaus (House for Building) carried echoes of Bauhütten, the shared lodgings of the medieval craftsmen who built the great cathedrals. As for the painters connected to the Bauhaus, whatever systems and principles Klee and Kandinsky believed their art was expressing, no one looking at anything they did--Klee's phantasmagorias, Kandinsky's swimming abstractions--would think the words factory produced...
...mind would be traditional. Instead of teaching students to imitate great works of the past, the Bauhaus entry course explored fundamentals like the material properties of wood and metal or how colors and forms operated within an image. Instead of focusing on painting and sculpture, the curriculum was built around workshops in woodworking, ceramics, metalworking, printmaking and weaving...
What a crazy idea; he might make money anyway. There is a real need for a bush turboprop to be built with the latest aerodynamic and engine technologies. Organizations serving populations in crisis in developing countries need a plane that can operate safely on short dirt airstrips. The Kodiak, with its small wingspan of 45 ft. (15 m), advanced flap technology and high power-to-weight ratio, can land and take off in less than 700 ft. (210 m) and climb at a rapid 1,700 ft. per min. (520 m per min.). The Kodiak can be retrofitted for other...
