High speeds and low altitudes rule at Reno's annual airplane races
On Saturday, I stood in the high, hot, dusty, dry desert of Nevada and watched small jets zoom past
a pylon on a hill at low altitude as they flew their way through a race course in the sky. If you’ve ever
watched stock cars compete around a track, you get the general idea of what goes on at the
National Championship Air Races near Reno except the cars in this case are different types of
airplanes, the race courses are in the air, and the planes must bank around points that pylons mark
on the ground.
Lasers and 3D printing give New Balance's new kicks their
bounce
Take a look at a new running shoe called
the FuelCell Echo Triple coming out from
New Balance on Friday, and you’ll see that
the forefoot—the section at the front—looks
different. The black, lattice-like component
at the toe-end of the shoe is the product of a
3D-printing process that allows its makers
to design the structure of the material much
more deliberately than it can with more
common materials.
