Posted by aviator on 06.22.2006, 02:31 PM: I guess mine is one of the more casual names, it's actually my profession, I'm a flight instructor at an airport near my house, and I really identify with Rosso's persona in his movie (note my avatar!), not that I go daredevling all over the place (not any more at least! ). My sig of one of my favorite princesses also has a touch of flying spirit, I guess you could say I'm somewhat interested in aviation!

Posted by aviator on 06.27.2006, 12:38 AM: Nausicaa glider prototype?! wow, I'd like to take a look at that! Actually the Nausicaa glider is an unstable design, especially when she lands and puts her weight far behind the wing's center of lift which at low speeds is actually moving foward a little, so you have lift force pointing up and Nausicaa's weight pointing down and at slow speeds they get farther appart making the wing flip over rather quickly (then again the engine might have an elaborate thrust directing scheme)!! A stable design would actually be just a hang glider which has the person's weight below the center of lift and always pulling the glider right side up (except when they're daredevling!!) But with computers and electronic (pretty soon electro-optic) controls nowadays, even the most inherently unstable jet fighters can be easily made extremely stable and maneuveable (yes, unfortunately not always used very wisely by governments), so it would be very interesting to see how nausicaa's real life prototype works!!

Posted by Roarkiller on 06.27.2006, 10:15 PM: @Aviator: Supposedly the prototype was able to support a small person, supposedly similar to Nausicaa's size. But then when I saw the video, it was flying via remote, so meh.
