Yeah I watched that last night, good show. Good channel that PBS, for the most part.
Who won the contract? I missed the last part.

Just for future reference, I have slides that explain almost every aerospace concept. In case you guys get curious about something.

That was pretty cool...thanks for the heads up Dean. Lockheed won the competition since they were able to do a short runway takeoff, achieve supersonic speed, and land vertically all in one flight...somthing Boeing had yet to achieve. But Boeing is still #1 in the sales of unmaned aircraft, they were saying.

Subsonic airflow accelerates when comes to a constriction. Why does supersonic airflow do the opposite?
