Joe was a legend that designed legendary aircraft - not with a bank of computers and room full of Catia robot-geeks, but the way 'real men' used to do it - with slide rules and drafting paper.

Sutter also stood his ground when it came to safety and design. Of course, back in his day, Boeing and the other aerospace giants were run with engineering types in leadership roles, as opposed to the lawyered-up, corporate MBA abiding entities that build aircraft today.
