This was on Nat Geo a while back. I thought it was the most moronic crap I have ever seen, it seems so American and dumbed down.

i'm sorry but the show was crap. we watched it and in theory yes, the design is based on - eagles wing tips, the saracen bow etc... it really wasnt was it, it was based on millions of man hours of design and engineering, not Mr Jean-Claude Airboosé watching eagles fly..

Things like the airbus are covered in much more detail on various programs over dicovery and national geographic.

It's alright for what it is; a simplified layman's guide to engineering. To be honest, I think it's way too basic and is probably geared towards the same audience that 'Brainiac: Science Abuse' is aimed at. I watched an episode about Taipei 101 in Taiwan and thought it was pretty rubbish.

I think when the BBC bought it they thought it would be good for Cebeebies.

The prior knowledge assumed of people for the programme is quite low, that's the only thing I could complain about
