Science as pop art

Mmm … pop tarts.

I had a stop in LA on the way back from the east coast (we’ll save the shaky rationale behind a 3 hour layover and 30 minute flight about 90 minutes from home), and was struck with the use of aeronautic science as art in the American Eagle commuter terminal.

It’s certainly not perfect, but it’s better than most of what I saw. (The craptasticness of these iPhone pics makes me sad.)

More after the jump.

    Rad, I’ve always been curious about that transonic barrier. Now I know.

    Who knew wingtip vortices were so simple?
