The French aerospace company Dassault Aviation uses a radical 3-D imaging system to dramatically cut the time it takes to design aircraft, as well as the factories and machine tools used to make airplanes. Designers use game-like joysticks and special glasses to manipulate and view 3-D objects on a 10-foot-tall screen.

Mike had left a comment on another post and I was checking out his blog. He linked to a really cool site about making paper airplanes. (Note when you get to the page you might have to scroll up to see them. You will see what I mean and it is extremely annoying…)
