| April 21, 2020, post by Dave Santos NYT first covers AWE in 1975 NYT article: Floating Wings Generate Power High Above Earth By Stacy V. Jones Special to The New York Times, Dec. 13, 1975 By strange coincidence, I lived in Bethesda during Lois's time, McCutchen too, if I recall. The real kicker was also living in Annapolis, where Payne was, since my parents were separated. Its quite likely P&C knew L. The world's first airport, founded by Wrights, was in College Park, just NE of Bethesda. The SI Air & Space Museum was a magnet for legendary aircraft and a kite mecca by its first mega kite fest in '60s Your own case, Joe, is a similar geographic constellation of Torrey Pines and Pasadena. NASA was a strong presence both places. In the big world, taken as a whole, these are precise geographic bullseyes that no doubt somehow formed us to where we sit today in AWE. ------ US3924827 patentee: Lambros Lois "APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING ENERGY FROM WINDS AT SIGNIFICANT HEIGHT ABOVE THE SURFACE" US4076190 by Lambros Lois |
