Lu,

Just watched you on TV! This was "Aircrash Investigation", about the incident where Robert Pique successfully glided a fuel starved A330 from mid-atlantic to Lajores airport (Azores). You gave an extremely informed interview about the mode of failure of the fuel line in the Rolls-Royce engine. My favourite bit was admiring all the models in the background - especially that Sea-King helicopter!

I enjoy your technical accounts of rotor-dynamics, especially the explanation of R22 18deg d3 angle (rotor cone and transverse flow compensation). I'm betting you trim this adverse effect on the human condition into full control too.
