I agree with Roadtrip about the need for failure resistant design.
"The difference between a machine that can go wrong, and one that can't, is that when the machine that can't go wrong goes wrong, it is almost impossible to fix".
I'm sorry to say that I had nothing to do with the B1 which much have been a fascinating project. However, my limited experiences of the dreadful Tornadoesntgo F2/3 never greatly inspired me.
Rusty, you are probably at a point in life where expenditure on student membership of the RAeS would be worthwhile. To members, the library catalogue is online and they'll post books on loaan to you in return for a cheque for their postage and packaging when you send it back. I have made use of this facility on numerous occasions. (www.aerosociety.com)
