The part about the sailboats and the airplanes.

Mostly the sailboats.

The only rule: our sail is just an airfoil. It can only do what the wind is there for.

Another way to say this is that sails generate lift using the air

that flows around them in the same way as an aircraft wing.

Computational Fluid Dynamics allows the calculation of the lift, drag and centres of effort of

a sailing rig and will inherently account for the complex interaction between sails

While experience with wing sails has been gained in

the smaller c-class wing sail boats, Computational Fluid

Dynamical modelling of wing sails can aid in the

understanding of the complex interaction

between the multi-element rigid wing sails and the conventional flexible

foresail.

• What did we want to do on our phones?

• How did that affect what we put on there?

Our tools matter. Improvements to boats brought us the British Empire. It also brought us colonialism and the conquistadors.


Are we actually doomed? Probably not. I’m just annoyed by the current anti-patterns.


How we use these improvements matters. Are we privileging a certain class of users in our designs?


What happens when the people that make things all speak the same language?
