wings

A big part of the reason for hanging the engines is actually because it means you can make the wings less robust.

Delta wings are great in supersonic flight, but not so in shorter distances and for takeoff and landing.

WRT the Comet, airframers don't put engines in wings because they are a bugger to service there.

If you have in-wing engines they generally have to be near the root (where the wing connects to the fuselage) because engines are large, wings taper and wings shouldn't be too fat.

Flight speeds will increase to the point where the glider will need new transonic wings.

Comet-style in-wing engines cannot use silent and efficient turbofan designs and would need fat wings to accommodate the engines, increasing drag.

Where're the radical designs, a la Concorde (delta), Comet (engines in wings) etc etc?

The various media wings need a place with a critical mass of famous people.

You have lit a fire, we will spread the wings of this fire that you have lit.

Maybe the reason we did not have wings is so that we do fly across nations.

When I was a kid I put water wings on my ankles so I could walk on the water like Jesus.

I have already heard two kids claim they can swim, when later it turned out they can only swim with water wings.

His books "Ignited Minds" and "Wings of Fire" are highly inspiring and are filled with hope for India.

"x is louder than a jet engine!" from the pilot's seat or standing on the wings?

Read "Wings of Fire"[0] if you haven't already!
