In 1958, Mr. Armstrong was chosen as a consultant for a military space plane project, the X-20 Dyna-Soar, and was later named one of the pilots.
However, given his recent headline-grabbing (and investor-pleasing) proclamations, like his plans to drop nuclear bombs on Mars and beam internet to Earth with thousands of satellites, the electric plane project could just turn out to be hot air.
The first three are happening today, where Seattle Aquarium staff will take classes participating underwater; the Minnesota Zoo explores the Black Bear and their habit of sleeping through the colder seasons; and Solar Impulse, a long-range solar plane project, offers a chance to speak with the founders and learn about the design of its wing and cockpit.
As part of the Ant-Plane project for summertime scientific research and logistics in the coastal region of Antarctica, we developed six types of small autonomous UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles, similar to drones; we term these vehicles Ant-Planess') based on four types of airframe.
Despite the fact that only two airlines had expressed public interest in purchasing such a plane, Airbus was already pursuing its own large plane project.
And he could have pointed to the millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars that supported the indigenous development of the failed Lavi fighter plane project as one of many mistakes going as far back as covering up the 1967 Israeli attack on the U.S.S.

The portage railroad was one of the most audacious inclined-plane projects ever built — a series of 10 inclines (and level tracks between them) that took canal boats and their passengers and cargo up over the Alleghenies and down again.
The speed is not sky-plane projected.
Rectangles are estimated fault planes projected onto the horizontal and two vertical sections.
The resulting high-resolution images reveal the individual atom positions of the in-plane projected crystal structure of silicon nitride and permit detailed structural information.
