25 Years of Flight Research

[@jacksonschumacher175]

I want to do this, I want to design aircraft and study the characteristics and properties of aerodynamics and aerospace and see what designs work and don't work for aircraft. I am fascinated by the unconventional designs actually functioning and paving the way of what we know and understand about aeronautics.

Great footage! Do birds utilise lift from both their wings and body shape? The X-15 reminds me of the chest of a bird.

Love it

Which year was this film made?

I equate NASA to the NHS. Both were revolutionary ideas which were implemented during a Post War cultural peak. Now both are lumbering bureaucracies, crushed under political pressure.

[@SPACETVnet]

A gross over-simplification.

[@mrboredj]

Or a net analogy?

[@jackfraser1807]

Or bait.

[@mrboredj]

Naa, I just feel both need to be restructured and given significant financial investment to be improved. But that will never happen, cause politics.
