Glenn Odekirk: We installed the 450 radial, but the struts won't take the vibration. Minute we go contact, the struts start craking at the attach points. Howard Hughes: Dammit, Odie, if the 450's too big, figure something else out! Glenn Odekirk: We've done everything - we've rebuilt her from top to bottom. If we drain the fuel tank for a couple of runs she might make 180 mph. Howard Hughes: I want minimum 200. Glenn Odekirk: Yeah, well, I want a date with Theda Bara, but that ain't gonna happen either. Howard Hughes: Don't be so sure... OK, OK, OK, this is a simple engineering problem. We just gotta think it out. [pause] Howard Hughes: So if the struts won't sustain the engine we need - then we gotta get rid of them. Glenn Odekirk: Then the top wing falls off. Howard Hughes: Then let it. Glenn Odekirk: What? Howard Hughes: Who says we need a top wing? [pauses] Howard Hughes: Who says we need *anything*? [Glenn is warming up to Hughes' idea] Glenn Odekirk: A monoplane... Howard Hughes: A cantilevered monoplane. They're doing it in France. To the hell with the top wing and the struts... Glenn Odekirk: 550 Whitney Wasp engine... Howard Hughes: 100 octane fuel will give us a top horsepower of - what? Glenn Odekirk: Seven hundred. Howard Hughes: Squeeze it to a thousand and we got the fastest plane ever built. Glenn Odekirk: You know, I just gotta say... we've already spent over $200,000 rebuilding this plane. Howard Hughes: To the hell with it. [smiles] Howard Hughes: Tear it up, Odie. [Glenn takes a sledgehammer and annihilates the struts on the top wing; the top wing falls off]
Anything which is physically possible can always be made financially possible; money is a bugaboo of small minds.
All we know about the new economic world tells us that nations which train engineers will prevail over those which train lawyers. No nation has ever sued its way to greatness.

Incurable diseases will eventually force mankind to justify disruptive nanotech and genetic engineering.
Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily avialable, they will create their own problems.
