There's a documentary on him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumb_(film) which is rather awkward to watch.
He also made some comix which would not be allowed today (warning offensive: Robert Crumb: When the N***rs Take Over America! Negroes in Charge)

Love his work. I have a set of MINI Cooper, Ed Roth inspired cards that MINI sent when I purchased my car. They’re cool.

Not sure what happened back there, but I ain't saying nothing.
I've already ruined enough good threads.

Here is the brake pressure measurement tool that is used on the Unimogs and some other Mercedes cars and trucks. New cost is only $7500 for it! Got this never used one off of Gov liquidators for $80. Have not used it once, but figured it was cheap enough, so why not buy it!

How Airbus became Boeing's greatest rival
https://www.businessinsider.com/airbus-history-boeing-rivalry-2018-4#to-differentiate-itself-from-the-competition-airbus-made-it-a-strategic-point-to-offer-a-high-level-of-technology-in-all-of-its-aircraft-this-included-innovative-construction-techniques-like-the-employment-of-lightweight-composite-materials-11

Quote:
To differentiate itself from the competition, Airbus made it a strategic point to offer a high level of technology in all of its aircraft. This included innovative construction techniques like the employment of lightweight composite materials...........

Over the past 20 years, the commercial aviation industry has come to be dominated by Airbus and Boeing.

Airbus and Boeing each own roughly 50% of the global commercial airliner market.

Airbus is relatively new when compared to Boeing. While Boeing has been around since 1916, the Airbus consortium did not come together until 1970.

Airbus currently boasts a production backlog of around 7,500 planes while Boeing's backlog is around 5,900 aircraft.





Quote:
In June 1981, Air France announced its intent to buy 25 of the yet-to-be-launched jet. Since then, the A320 family has been the best selling jet in the world with more than 14,000 planes ordered.
Quote:
The A320 marked the arrival of the digital cockpit and fly-by-wire technology in airliners. According to Aboulafia, the A320 and its many technological innovations make it Airbus's greatest contribution to commercial aviation.
