"could we learn something from them for web app dev?" Not really. Airplane designers have the luxury of knowing that their users have had years of training, plus additional training for each separate 'plane.

Here I'm actually talking about two things. a) a public-facing app needs to be 'simple' (better term maybe, perceived simple), and it needs to be elegant, the way it presents itself, the app flow etc. etc. and yet it needs to be powerful, it has tons of useful functions but not cluttered... b) Now, the last part, imho, could be sort of "associated with" airplane designers, these guys are super smart, they have to ensure each button or the like has to be optimal, yes? could we learn something from them for web app dev?
