The Tiny, Perfect Little Flying Machine

The Tiny Perfect Little Flying Machine
(From Popsci by Stephan Wilkinson). Cory Bird, an engineer at Burt Rutan's remarkable aviation design shop, builds a composite-fiber airplane of Swiss-watch precision. She's a real beauty: Hardly a screwhead or seam interrupts the mirror-perfect surface of Cory Bird's handmade airplane, Symmetry, the product of fanatical attention to detail, materials and design.
