How it works

I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time, the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.

If we would have had the 262 at our disposal - even with all the delays - if we could have had in '44, ah, let's say three hundred operational, that day we could have stopped the American daytime bombing offensive, that's for sure.

The throttles could only move very, very slowly, always watching the temperature, always watching. And even in throttling back, you could bust it, even being very careful.

Of course, the outcome of the war would not have been changed. The war was lost perhaps, when it was started. At least it was lost in the winter of '42, in Russia.

And most of these pilots were lost during the first five flights.

Nine g's is good, if the pilot can stand it. We couldn't stand it. Not in the airplanes of World War II.

It's unbelievable what one squadron of twelve aircraft did to tip the balance.

This would only come if you have a revolutionary change in technology like the jet brought about.

When I was fired from my post as General of the Fighter Arm, I was to give proof that this jet was a superior fighter. And that's when we did it. I think we did it.

We had at our disposal the first operational jet, which superseded by at least 150 knots the fastest American and English fighters. This was a unique situation.

According to Goering and the Luftwaffe High Command, they were supposed to be the fighter elite.
Adolf Galland
Many pilots of the time were the opinion that a fighter pilot in a closed cockpit was an impossible thing, because you should smell the enemy. You could smell them because of the oil they were burning.

We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft, but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

I made a written report which is still today in existence. I have a photocopy of it, and I am saying that in production this aircraft could perhaps substitute for three propeller- driven aircraft of the best existing type. This was my impression.

I had to inspect all fighter units in Russia, Africa, Sicily, France, and Norway. I had to be everywhere.

I could not claim them because I was not supposed to be flying in combat.

Flying is more than a sport and more than a job; flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime.

It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed.

One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular.
Ralph Bakshi
We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.
Jim Henson
At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design.
Jim Henson
It was by design that we mostly used pictures that you could not necessarily see what was going on, and that didn't really focus in on the band, but instead focused in on a theme.
Mike McCready
It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.
Genevieve Gorder
A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker.
David Hume
Clearly, programming courses should teach methods of design and construction, and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated.
Niklaus Wirth
We want people to realize you are at a design school, not a land grant college. The way we look says a great deal about who we are.
James Hall
In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not.

Once the product's task is known, design the interface first; then implement to the interface design.

I think there is a new awareness in this 21st century that design is as important to where and how we live as it is for museums, concert halls and civic buildings.

Good design is good business.

It would be nice to design a real briefcase - you open it up and it's your computer but it also stores your books.

If we don't have accurate information, if we are not able to tell difficult truth one to another, we will never be able to effectively design a policy for Iraq.
Jack Reed
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
I am persuaded, that if any attempt is made to improve the education of the poor, and such an unmanly spirit should guide the resolution of a society or committee for that purpose, it would render the design abortive.
Joseph Lancaster
I have a secret thought from some things I have observed, that God may perhaps design you for some singular service in the world.
David Brainerd
By means of tracing-paper I transfer my design to the wood and draw on that.
John Tenniel
Everyone by now presumably knows about the danger of premature optimization. I think we should be just as worried about premature design - designing too early what a program should do.
Paul Graham
If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

If there is a gay uniform, the differences are in how each man coordinates the details: the brand and cut of the jeans, the design of belts and boots, the haircut, the number and size of earrings.

Good buildings come from good people, ad all problems are solved by good design.

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows.

French architecture always manages to combine the most magnificent underlying themes of architecture; like Roman design, it looks to the community.

Of course, I did lots of what would be called graphic design now, what used to be called commercial art.

But my point is that you design something in the end that precludes any unhealthy trading practices that are not going to serve your environmental or your economic objectives but now is not the time to do it.
John Anderson
The design of those commissioners, frigates and warlike force is directed rather against Long Island and these your Honors' possessions, than to the imagined reform of New England.
