In 1999, a full-scale replica of the 1903 Wright Flyer was mounted in NASA's 40x80 foot wind tunnel for tests to build an historically accurate aerodynamic database.
Incertitude was common when Americans were asked if they think genetically engineered food is safe. For example, salmon given a growth hormone-regulating gene grow to market size in 18 months rather than 3 years.
Floods bring to mind destruction, but the ecosystems of floodplains and estuaries depend on the occasional deluge, so each year the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers times the release of large volumes of water.

When most people board a plane they’re usually leaving home. But not if you’re Bruce Campbell, an innovative engineer who rejected the standards of traditional housing and decided to engage his flight of fancy.
Doctor Barbie and Computer Engineer Barbie currently fetch top dollar, but Architect Barbie dolls aren’t flying off the shelves because it’s not as glamorous or as lucrative of a profession for women.

The Kingdom Tower, a 3000ft tall futuristic skyscraper, is ready to be erected in Saudi Arabia. But for engineers, it’s a tall order. They are trying to work out how to pump wet concrete half a mile skywards.

Shell's latest construction project is the definition of grand scale engineering. The Prelude is still being built, with only the vast red hull making its way out to sea for now, but it's already an amazing sight to see.

Engineers have long been trying to come up with a synthetic polymer that is flexible, waterproof, conductive, heals itself, and is sensitive to touch, all outside the carefully calibrated set-up of a lab. Just like our skin.

After a costly, painstaking and potentially perilous operation to raise the battered hull of the cruise ship Costa Concordia, engineers succeeded in righting the ship, removing it from the reefs where it ran aground.

To provide flood protection for transportation tunnels, engineers aim to use a relatively cheap inflatable plug to hold back floodwaters, one that is strong and durable despite the pliable, light-weight materials required.
