  • @lorenzo_lfm For a deep dive read What Engineers Know And How They Know It. You'll never look at flat rivets as you board a plane the same way. https://t.co/YXBOFCFOhSLink to Tweet
  • @the_aiju @marick I love this https://t.co/t1e5HQ5uUd on the topic. Aeronautic theory was always racing to catch up to aeronautic practice & manufacturing practice.Link to Tweet
