Flight of the Day

1. Geert de Clerq on the new design for flight attendant call button on the new B737 interior at Yahoo! News. At last, here's one design passenegrs will love.
2. Give it to the birds, again. The future of UAVs might depend on how engineers copy the design of birds' wings, at ScienceDaily.
3. A new look at bolt design, at ScienceDaily. A new study suggests how to determine the optimum force to be applied considering the variations of temperature. Consider this: The A380 wing has 750,000 bolted joints.
