Harrison, Anne, Thank you for the details about Boeing.
Kitty Hawk was in the 90's I belive. My new friend talks about the 70's and about California. Do you know of any hangar style building with moving walls over there ? Chris, Thank you very much for the Lockheed's Skunk Works. I looked at all images of their website, could not find out an "open space" facility, but indeed it could exist in such an environment. >From there however I found something interesting : : http://www.stoneaerospace.com/about-us/about-us-design-philosophy.php it says" Rather than having a “standing army” of permanent staff, with their ponderous hierarchy of corporate business branches, divisions, and groups we run things more like a “Mission Impossible” episode: the designated project leader (always an extraordinary multidisciplinarian) examines a portfolio of truly virtuoso experts in our world-wide network. We typically select three individuals from this network -- a “hardware guru”, a “software guru”, and an “embedded systems” guru to lead the team. These are world-class experts with decades of real-world design experience with concepts that have been turned into hardware that has gone into the field and been used hard. They then, when needed, call in a second layer of support staff from a wide variety of disciplines" (see the picture, quite interesting : http://www.stoneaerospace.com/about-us/pictures/SkunkWorks-2.jpg) Then "Each expert is empowered to make instantaneous decisions, bring on and release staff as needed, select systems and sub-systems, perform component acquisition, and order fabrication by themselves. The majority of the design work is done at distributed design offices" Doesn't it sound familiar ? It looks to me that when they deal with innovation and prototyping, indeed they "build" a pretty much self-organized process. :) Christine On Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 4:22 PM, Harrison Owen <[email protected]> wrote: > Christine – I think there was such a building...
