Don't include us English in that. But the English are providing the engines! Rolls-Royce Trent 900.
We can fuck up any big construction scheme. While these engines are giants, they don't compare size-wise to a bridge- granted. But the engineering time in a jet engine far outstrips architectural projects.
Unfortunately, motorcyles don't have a consistent "lateral" and "vertical" orientation for their wheels. As soon as you turn sharply, you're sideways enough that these two axes are nearly reversed, and your tires end up doing exactly the wrong things.
But motorcycle tire loading is consistently 'vertical' to the bike as it leans. Side loading seems to be a non-issue, except for trikes and side-car rigs.
As to whether 'Don Quick-Oats' is a good name or not...
The mission involves a 'charging' to the target, similar to the fictional character's jousting.
What other choices do we have?
'Kamikazee' doesn't sound as romantic or as appealing, although the parallels are more easily found.
I'm referring to 'kamikazee' as the USA interprets the word: suicide dive bomber. I'm not referring to 'divine wind', which I understand is the direct translation from Japanese.

Joining similar parent metals is common and easy today, yes, but... imagine easily joining dissimilar metals- an aluminum part to stainless steel, 'frinstance. (neglecting anodic corrosion issues)

(ignoring the pastry/patty/bread arguments)... Your model seems to conceptualize this process like that of glue or some kind of adhesive bonding. It is not- the 'hairs' are grown from the parent material; they are therefore 'attached' to the parent via the same metallic-lattice bonds that hold the parent together. It's nothing like a slab of melted cheese between a beef (or tofu) patty and a slice of bread. It's more like, um, well, *velcro*! That said, the 'metallic hairs' might tend to fail with some amount of cold work applied... ever bent a paperclip back and forth until it breaks? I'd be worried about fatigue life of this kind of 'bond'. It all depends on the material properties of the parent, though.

I doubt that a 'metallic velcro' interface would seal well enough to be useful in a radiator. As for electron beam welding, it is currently in wide use but typically requires joint-mating-surface-contact to be extremely good; not a feature typically found in plasma cutting. Another topic: Why make the metallic velcro act as the heat fins? Just grow it on the surface you want to cool and shove your standard aluminum extrusion (with corresponding metallic velcro patch) onto it. The patches might allow for good heat transfer between each other- better than one patch alone to the air. Who knows, after a while (and some heat) the two patches may diffusion bond together and become permanent.
Actually, the chicken launcher launches *thawed* chickens at something like 200mph. IIRC it was developed first to test canopies and windscreens- jets came later. Rolls Royce borrowed it from the US, but didn't know about the thawing step... resulting in a 'famous' anecdote in the annals of jet turbine development history. Can anyone substantiate this story? I asked a RR blade engineer if it was true- he said yes, but even so, the story is hard to believe.
Unfortunately, facts and implications of any piece of proposed legislature are often clouded by the propaganda mill run by the proponents.

'Not voting' is not a healthy alternative, even if one is not sure of the real issues. There are sources which can provide a break-down for you- with varying slants to suit your whim.
Whether you listen to Rush Limbaugh or Michael Moore you can learn *something* about what's going on. Hopefully you sample both!
Um, sorry. Too much nickel in most stainless steels to be magnetic.
Don't know what series the DeLorean was made from but it was probably not 400 (ferrous).
Does knowing that make me a chick magnet? Please?
