Please, just stop. The rotary, once Mazda moved away from carbs and plentiful oil injection, was a disaster. There's no reason to think what's essentially a two stroke engine is going to be better here. Ive' had first and second generation rx-7's, so I'm not a hater.  But give it up already.

If it’s “Erotic City” I will faint.

Got that finger up for eye protection.....wait.......

I mean, he did stare at the sun, during an eclipse.....so.......couple cylinders aren’t ....a......firing

A stupid person might. In any case, if it *is* BS, I’m sure we’ll see a libel lawsuit against a news organization founded in 1821.

Well, you’d be wrong. 

That isn’t quite as stupid as asking for a US-exclusive rights to a cure (what’s going to happen if other people decide to exclude the US, or any other nation, from a cure), but it’s not off by much.

Fun-fact: Patrick Stewart is Igraine’s father in the 1981 John Boorman movie Excalibur. Other cool people in that movie: a young (somewhat disgruntled) Liam Neeson and a younger, super-hot (and super evil) Helen Mirren:

I was reading the comments and see there’s some relative confusion. As someone who both owns a Corvette and loves to deal with the “Corvette numbers” I looked into it a little more.

Well, I’m certainly not disputing nor minimizing their mistakes. I don’t think anyone is. But if I’m running a car company, I want car people who appreciate performance and yes, that have a little hell-raiser in them on my engineering team for my performance flagship. I don’t want bean-counters who block the passing…

Sucks. I do hope they keep their jobs though.

The reason they moved HQ to Chicago in the first place is a giant telltale regarding what went wrong. Boeing started operating like a standard giant conglomerate corporation, rather than like a proud maker of airplanes. The 787 production line in South Carolina (and the giant push to break the hold of the machinists’…

Don’t forget the veteran Boeing 787 production manager who won’t fly the 787, and begged his family not to.

In a word, greed. When everybody gets big bonuses for meeting deadlines, it becomes easy to create a culture where problems are papered over hoping the day of reckoning comes on the next guy’s watch. Think VW with diesel-gate.

“When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm.”

I was told the same thing by a friend who is an aircraft mechanic.

But it sounds better if they play it off like they are disciplining themselves.

Likely they are installing the second stall sensor that was an SAFETY OPTION instead of the default. But, hey they saved $2,000 per plane.

Why they didn’t immediately retrofit with THREE AoA sensors mystifies me.
