Legendary Aircraft Designer - Burt Rutan on CrazyEngineers to answer your questions!

[The_Big_K]

Guys! Guys! Guys!

Now, I won't be surprised to see questions like "Sir, my GF cheated on me. What should I do?" or "Sir, what's for the dinner tonight?"

Meh!

I guess from next time, I'll keep this activity confined to a set of chosen CEans.

But that way u might be putting off prospective "deserving" ceans who might have wanted to join 'cause they were interested in interacting with the concerned guest. Now with that opportunity restricted they might not join at all.

I don't think so. The 'deserving' CEans will always get a chance in the 'next' interview. When a CEan spends some time on CE, its easy to decide whether to include him/her in the list or not.

Anyway, this is not a final decision yet. Let's think about it later. We don't have any immediate initiative lined up.

sir it's my dream to design planes ,aircrafts and cars .I am studying b-tech in mechanical engineering,please help me how can i fulfill my dream?

[The_Big_K]

Okay,

Thank you everyone for your questions. We'll now collect the questions and prepare a questionnaire. Please note that we'll be picking relevant questions only.

If you missed this opportunity, don't worry . Watch out for our next announcement.

lol, dont forget to ask the most important Q!

"Sir, what's for the dinner tonight?"

I mean how can we comeple.....OHMYGOD! Dude, biggie, you just gave me the best idea for our interviews to be different!

lol, ask all the proper Q's initially, and in the end ask one so out of the bat Q that it feels as if we are talking to them face to face, ask it seriously!

like the 16th Q (for example) will be: Sir, what are you having for dinner tonight?

Ok, maybe not try it with Mr. Rietman, but any future interviews if possible. Thats how they will know we ARE crazy engineers. lol, just thinking, not sure if we shud do that

Well, I remember, in one of our previous interviews, I had actually included that question! But it was not answered. Not sure if it looks good. We should keep in mind that these big people are doing us a favor by sparing their time for us.

[Unrelated note] : We'll be completely changing the type of questions we ask in our 'Know your CEan' activity. Those who have been contacted, be ready to face some tough ( , ) questions!

[xheavenlyx]

Wow, you have tried something similar. And yes its true we should know who we are talking to before posting such a Q

As for the know your CE'ien, all I can say is Bring It On!

[xheavenlyx]

Biggie, please if possible try putting in one more important Q!

What are his thoughts about the Google X Prize? Are they planning to take part and if not then why???

They have the funds and the expertise! Biggie, if this Q is late, you understand, try sending this in the other email. In a thankyou email if possible. You will find a way to ask this

[mahul]

Yeah even i'm more than interested in this q.
