Ferrari Status 12 months ago

Suggest that you consider a Vespa if you want to experience fine Italian engineering. There's no need to hanker for a Ferrari.

Saying this as a Vespa owner. Its once of the nicest products I've ever purchased.

Japanese cars were referred to as Rice Burners, and the term "Riced up" came up alongside for modded cars, maybe this became widespread around the start of the Fast and Furious franchise

Curious about the engineering of the 737 Max compared to NG,

Where can I find info about the differences and improvements in terms of aerodynamics, structures, materials and systems?

For example,

Does the Max have a composite wing box?

What percentage of the Max is composite, compared to the NG?

Do the wings use the same airfoil section?

Have they been re-lofted, re-twisted?

Are there any changes to the high life devices?

Have there been any changes to the materials, gauge, design for the fuselage?
