Dave’s Day

Dave’s Day

To try to make up for there being no BMW Factory tours available while we are here, today was Dave’s Day. We took a train ride into the country, visited an airplane museum, and ate pizza for lupper (kinda lunch, also supper). Below, find the selection of photos he feels represents the highlights.

There were many different types of exotic gliders, including these two tail-less ones
Dornier Do 31 (1967)
Prototype VTOL transport aircraft
The Do 31 wingtip lift engines
Eurofighter Typhoon (1994)
VFW-Fokker 614 (1971)
A regional airliner with unconventional over-wing engines
A closer look at the engine pylon
Europa rocket (1960s)
EADS / Boeing X-31 (1990)
Experimental thrust vectoring technology demonstrator
The thrust vectoring paddles
Neat!
EWR VJ 101C-X2 (1965)
Developed as a VTOL interceptor. Due to changes in requirements, it did not go into production.

    You could finish the day with seeing the new Top Gun! We watched it last weekend and it was so great!
