Aviation Technology For Idiots


Pulse Detonation Engine Jet:  The Blackswift

Unfairly or not, Fox News is often blasted for “dumbing down” their interviews with scientists and folks in high tech. Well, in this interview, I think I can fairly say the interviewer comes across as a complete moron… just listen to him as he gushes enthusiastically like a boy racer about the simulated takeoff:

(1:03 in… clock on lower left shows 2:10 remaining in video) Check that out! You see that go off the runway? It was gone.

I knew we had a mouth-breather when I heard that, but he keeps going…

(1:48 remaining) Is that 3,000 miles per hour?

…and he wraps up the interview with this priceless quote, which reminds me of something Beavis might say:

(0:15 remaining in video) I wonder what Wilbur and Orville are thinking about this? Huh huh! Cool!
