Eli Whitney introduced (if a bit dishonestly) the notion of building firearms from interchangeable parts in 1801.

It's why you can take Pratt and Whitney engines off a 767 and put on GE or Rolls Royce engines.

It's such a pity that Peter Seibel didn't include Arthur Whitney in Coders at Work.

Especially the episodes with Kelly Starrett, Josh Waitzkin, Sam Harris, Peter Attia, Pavel Tsatsouline and Whitney Cummings.

J actually descended from A, Arthur Whitney (of K and Q fame).

Crompton and Cartwright were granted substantial payments by acts of Parliament (£5,000 and £10,000 respectively), Whitney made money through arms sales to the U.

You can compare somebody like whitney houston (pop star) or even norah jones (jazz) who got their entire career or major break on other people's songs.

So basically, asking GE or Pratt & Whitney to fit modern turbofan engines upfront for free, and getting paid out of the fuel and/or maintenance savings over time?

Relevant technology: (1) There was a unit of Pratt and Whitney in Florida that considered such jet engine problems and had a bright idea: At Mach 2.5+ or so, don't really need the turbojet compressor.

I can't speak for all families, but I went to a Whitney HS, a southern california version of TJ, and the peer pressure is quite a lot stronger than what most parents say or do.

Well, at Lockheed, Kelly Johnson considered the Pratt and Whitney engine and titanium and designed and built a few dozen of the the SR-71s; Ike got his pictures; and no SR-71 was lost to enemy action.

This was due to the "turbojet-assisted ramjet" design of the Pratt and Whitney J-58.

The guy who created it, Arthur Whitney, has been working on successive versions of this for 20 years.

Arthur Whitney, author of A+,k and kdb/q always starts from scratch when he develops a new version of his db.

Whitney's got a great sense of community and really does her homework when writing.
