Flying Lightness paints a picture of a heroic century of aircraft development against the background of steadily increasing travel speeds. Since the Wright brothers made their first brief flight over 100 years ago, aircraft construction seems to have become stuck in a rut. Today, rapid advances in the field of composites are opening up new possibilities for optimizing aircraft configurations and revising structural principles. Composites are combinations of two or more physically distinct materials that enhance each other's properties. The new modes of system integration and improved structural quality they offer may even produce a 30 percent more efficient 'blended wing' passenger plane. Flying wings, once just a footnote in the history of air transport, could well become the aircraft of the 21st century. Best Dutch Book Design 2005.

The story of 'Lightness' is not just about airplanes, or composite materials, although they play an important role. It really deals with the building structure of all things made and grown. It is essentially, a book on technology, it will you to look at structures more inensley and see them in a different light.

Important American periodical dating back to 1850.

Enjoy a lesson in skiing, Enjoy a lesson in living, Enjoy the Tao of glee, The Bible of happiness. "GLEE" The « SKIPANDA » Panda ski method is a new ski technique, a ski school, which teaches skiing through physical control of gravity, and psychological control of the fear gravity inspires. Born from the learn to ski method, "GLEE" is the first literary essay on skiing, a tale of happiness, a poem to fatherly love, a Little Prince of Skiing, the Tao of skiing. The recreational skier, alike anyone learning to drive a car, is concerned with finding the brake and the steering wheel. But in skiing, the engine is the invisible, unattainable, irresistible gravity. The ski method teaches taming the fear of gravity. The tale spans the whole rainbow of human concern from vivid kinetic descriptions to a new scientific spirituality
