I'm new to this site and I hope that my replies in the aircraft section has not offended anyone. I will admit that I am quite a big-head when it
comes to American know-how. To cjwinnit and devil wasp, my apologies for my out of the way comments on European engineers.
I wouldn't worry too much. There seems to be a "healthy???" competition between European and American engineers...especially between French and
American.
I am an engineer and work in an industry that I interact with European engineers. I have been involved in projects where the French engineers called
the American group of engineers "so-called engineers".
Tit-for-tat. I don't think there will be a global breakdown in communication over national pride. If there is...we'll have to point at the French
bigtime...wouldn't you think?
