"The National Defense Education Program (NDEP) invests in science, engineering and math education from middle and high school through college and post graduation. NDEP's mission is to support a new generation of scientists and engineers who will apply their talents in our nation's defense laboratories. "

"Saturday, April 11, 1970 at 13:13 CST. At five and a half minutes after liftoff, Swigert, Haise, and Lovell felt a little vibration. Then the center engine of the S-II stage shut down two minutes early. This caused the remaining four engines to burn 34 seconds longer than planned, and the S-IVB third stage had to burn nine seconds longer to put Apollo 13 in orbit. "

"From urban centers to remote corners of Earth, the depths of the oceans to space, humanity has always sought to transcend barriers, overcome challenges, and create opportunities that improve life in our part of the universe. In the last century alone, many great engineering achievements became so commonplace that we now take them mostly for granted. "

"While not as large as the deHavilland Beaver, the Murphy Moose is often compared to the Beaver and for many, the Moose is a viable alternative to the expensive Beaver. It is powered by a nine cylinder Russian M-14P radial engine that is supercharged and produces 360 hp. Models are available with a Lycoming in-line six cylinder engine that produces 260 hp. The Murphy Moose seats six people. "

"FEATURED CRAFTSMAN! 2011 Craftsman of the Decade, Louis Chenot Visit Lou's page, which is linked from the Model Engineering Masterpieces section to see superb models featuring a running 1/6 scale 1932 SJ Duesenberg in miniature. Lou was presented with his $2000 award at the NAMES Expo in Detroit April 30th, 2011. He and his wife, June visited the Craftsmanship Museum in Carlsbad, CA on September 2, 2011 to display and discuss the model for local visitors. It was the last time the engine will be run before being reinstalled in the car. Video of the special event has been posted HERE."

Piper built almost 20,000 Cubs between 1938 and 1947. The Cub turned out to be the perfect training aircraft.  The airplane was economical to operate, easy to fly, and easy to maintain.  Spare parts were plentiful and the A-65 engine was the most common light airplane engine of the era.

July 26, 26 DC-3s took off for a formation flight to EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh. The incredible sound of 52 idling engines was surpassed only by the sight of the airplanes passing overhead, in flights of four. One returned to the ramp with a maintenance problem, another aborted its takeoff because of an engine issue, and a third returned with high oil temperature. The remaining 23 made a grand arrival in Oshkosh with an overhead pass.

This series of curricular units focus on themes that NASA engineers and scientists -- as well as future generations of explorers -- must consider when planning future human explorations into space. This includes such themes as Energy and Power, Transportation and Lunar Plant Growth Chambers (the STS-118 Design Challenges).

The fundamental concepts, and approaches of aerospace engineering, are highlighted through lectures on aeronautics, astronautics, and design. Active learning aerospace modules make use of information technology. Student teams are immersed in a hands-on, lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicle design project, where they design, build, and fly radio-controlled LTA vehicles.

The Harrier made its final flight with the British RAF last week, marking one end to the jet famous for being able to take off and land vertically. The jet's recently declassified flight manual shows just how extraordinary it is. The original Hawker Harrier Jet was designed by the British in the 1960s and utilized a "vectored thrust turbofan engine" that allowed thrust generated by the engines to be pointed downward. The first planes were launched using ramps that curved upward like a ski jump on the flight deck.

The Bo 105 is a light twin engine multi purpose utility helicopter built by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) of Stuttgart, Germany. As the first light twin-engine helicopter in commercial service, it gained widespread use over rural areas (police and EMS / medevac) as well as offshore. The four-blade hingeless main rotor with composite blades ensures high maneuverability. All main systems (hydraulics, electric, fuel, lubrication) were designed to be fully redundant. "
