Elementary school student designs military plane, gets Admiral's attention

[@danmart9087]

What a great life experience. He will never forget it. Thank you to the military for what they did to that young man

Reminded me as a kid making drawings and design ideas of small arms weapons. Then in 1995 I got to meet the inventor of the M16, Eugene Stoner who was looking over my shoulder as I was sharing some design ideas with another arms engineer. I still have some of my design sketches and even some of my design suggestions have been put into production for the military. It's awesome for his parents to get to see the bright genius of their son and his ideas, and what a wonderful way for them to share in such a lifetime of memories they shall never forget!

So thankful that the brass are absolutely worthy of their stars . Thank you gentlemen for your stellar service as well as all service members.

What an awesome story! Bravo Zulu to Nathan for his passion, his parents for their encouragement, and NAWCAD for providing next-level inspiration. I can just imagine the fun the team had compiling the F-43 GOSHAWK NATOPS.

Awesome! Congratulations Nathan, you got a one of a kind experience!

Brilliant! "Warms your heart."

Now that design looks stealth... What would be a better honor for that kid if that plane design would be used for future jets.

Ends up being a 7th gen stealth fighter or something, space worthy.

A real live Sheldon Cooper. Makes my heart swell.

[@mattcosner8681]

I think more critical thought went into that design than the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter

[@IcyMan143]

DeviantArt could take some notes lol

[@thatguy7085]

There is hope in our youth and senior military leaders this was a great video. Hopefully they didn't make him choose his pronouns before he left.
