Chucks, you may have forgoten other french words such as Monoqoque, Fatigue, etc...
Yactno 1, about the French getting it right, just look at the aviation industry today, and find out where the Airbusses, Mirages, Falcons, Super Etendards, a good number of Hellis are made. You might see, they have done better than most of us.
Plz dont bash the French for nothing, give credit where it is due.
