[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] It can also be unconfirmed due to the technology requirements. For example, it was long believed that forward swept wings had advantages versus aft swept wings, but it wasn't until the development of light, strong composite materials that the concept could be fully tested. Also, the TM passage does [i]not[/i] state that single and multiple nacelle ships are worthless; it simply states that the dual nacelle design is optimal for power generation and vehicle control. There may very well be applications where an odd number of nacelles may be more practical, but these would not normally apply to long-term, day to day operations. [/QB][/QUOTE]
