★★★★ · An Early Look at Human Factors Engineering · srogers · 2003-07-27
This is an interesting look at what would later come to be called human factors engineering. There is also a fair amount of emphasis on engineering process involving operations analysis and system integration (as applied to aircraft). It shows how much things have changed, and yet many aspects of engineering still remain the same.
★★ · For fans of 50's fighters · Christopher · 2003-06-10
Otherwise a rather dry orientation film for defense contractor insiders, there's some footage here of the North American F-107A, with its strange air intake mounted on top of the fuselage. Only three of these aircraft were ever built. Other than the flying sequences, just lots of engineers looking at blueprints and Air Force white papers.
