Gossamer Condor style.

The Gossamer Condor was Paul MacCready's man powered flying machine. The development style was crash(learn), patch, test, crash(learn), patch, test,... in a very tight loop. This got his plane to win the prize while the British Royal Whatsit folks were still in the big-design-up-front stage. http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/photocredit/achievers/mac0-041 and you may wish to follow the links. As you may guess, MacCready is one of my modern day science heroes.

Funny because Gossamer is also a trademark for... Condom.

Jerome,

Ah, that makes the connection, Paul was one of Viewpoints advisors and I know the story except the name. > The development style was crash(learn), patch, test, > crash(learn), patch, test,... in a very tight loop. > This got his plane to win the prize while the British > Royal Whatsit folks were still in the > big-design-up-front stage. > > http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/photocredit/achievers/mac0-041 > > and you may wish to follow the links. > > As you may guess, MacCready is one of my modern day > science heroes. Yes. The trick also is that great thought was put to be able to do the iteraction fast; such as to make it fixable by duct tapes. While others needs months for an iteration, hours to days for him.
