interesting new mini jet
that is now in production.
This jet weighs less than a full sized SUV, carries 6 passingers, has
two little jet engines that sip fuel, can still fly and even climb on
just one engine, can land on 10,000 airstrips in the USA.
Anyhow I wanted to bring attention to how the aircrafts skin is put
together.
No rivets.
If I understand this correctly the only heat involved is that produced
by a little spinning probe that comes into contact at the seam of the
two thin aluminum sheets to be joined....then it's...well...."stirred"
together !!?
It's hard to believe that this welding process works. Evidently it
works and works well.
