The Software Modeling Revival: How to Avoid Being Stranded in the Desert

by E.M. Bennatan

In the 1965 movie The Flight of the Phoenix, a plane crash leaves a small group of survivors stranded in the Sahara desert. After abandoning all hope of being rescued, and with their water rations dwindling, the survivors resort to an unlikely plan proposed by one of the passengers, a German aircraft designer: they will build a small plane out of the remains of the original. But the passengers' excitement soon dampens with the discovery that the aircraft designer's only real experience is in building model planes, not real ones.
