Burt Rutan - Air and Space Craft Designs

Rutan has left an aircraft design legacy from 45 years of work, designing aircraft that are often quite dissimilar from their predecessors. "His airplanes and spacecraft take on all types of sleek shapes and sizes, looking more like the work of a sculptor than an engineer. In all, Rutan has come up with 367 individual concepts — of which 45 have flown."

Famous quotes containing the words air, space, craft and/or designs:

    As far as I can see, this autumn haze
    That spreading in the evening air both ways
    Makes the new moon look anything but new
    And pours the elm-tree meadow full of blue,
    Is all the smoke from one poor house alone....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    So by craft or art
    We can give the part
    Wholeness in a sense.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    My own thoughts
    Are my companions; my designs and labors
    And aspirations are my only friends.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
