Greg Himself has provided links to competing forums in his posts IIRC.
It is a sign (one imagines) of a noble-spirited magnanimity.

there was some thread a while back about some forum with a name like
"sciforums" and either Tom or Greg was very open about links, if I am not mistaken.

I would be disappointed if I were wrong---its just a dim memory.

More to the point. A Pratt-Whitney or a Rolls jet engine is a human artifact of great beauty------one may pin the picture in a suitable place, as one does a picture of a classic motorcycle

framing is optional, a frayed corner or a grease-stain does not detract.

the Figure of Merit is, so I understand, power-to-weight
or is it thrust-to-weight? Hmmm, might like to visit that site (if you provide a link)

I know a bunch of cool forums too with similar intellectual type stuff as this one, but don't know if I should post them directly, owners of most forums don't seem to like that.
