Mart,
I made a recent decision to get back into engine design ... and am enjoying the challenges associated with the role.
At this years Annual AHS Forum,
'Nikolsky lecturer and former Sikorsky engineer Dr. Ken Rosen told the audience, "We have a wonderfully creative workforce... What is missing is leadership." He contrasted yesterday's drive for tiltrotors and X-Wings with today's "sparkling mediocrity" and he noted, "When a company is in the hands of active exciting leaders, thats when a concept can take hold."'

Dr. Ken Rosen also said "We are not in a sunset industry..."

It would be interesting to know who he meant by "We", particularly when considering that there are 60,000 American engineering students in universities as compared to 900,000 Chinese engineering students in universities.

Mart, this is no time to leave Aerodynamics.
