The talk will focus on specific aircraft from the early prop driven planes, hydrogen filled zeppelins, jets and those machines capable of flying at supersonic speeds. The ones that worked and those that didn't and why. It will drill down on specific crashes that led to major overalls in the design and manufacturing of the planes we fly in today. A special emphasis will be on the history behind the four major manufacturers (Boeing, Lockheed, McDonald Douglas and Airbus SE). The talk will conclude by assessing the fatal flaws in the software (not pilot error) that led to the two tragic crashes of the Boeing 737 Max 80s. There are also some remarkable aviation stories that took place right here in Harding and the surrounding area that will be highlighted.
Nicolas W. Platt is President of the Hartley Dodge Foundation. He also sits on the Board of the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, Kansas. He is working with fellow board member Mary Jean Eisenhower to get the first Air Force One, a Lockheed Constellation currently being restored (that took Eisenhower to Korea in 1952) to be temporarily housed in Abilene, the boyhood home of the 34th President. Mr. Platt gave a series of talks on the almost forgotten story of how the Port Authority of New York tried to build the world's largest airport in the Great Swamp. This led to the acclaimed documentary film by Scott Morris (aired on PBS and Amazon Prime), 'Saving the Great Swamp, Battle to Defeat the Jetport". Mr. Platt was the former Mayor of Harding Twp. and still serves on the Township Committee. He has been a lifelong enthusiast of anything that defies gravity. This includes the early space program to the latest airliners going through their first test flight. He did his first solo flight in a Cessna Model150 a few days after his 16th birthday.

The British architect and designer Thomas Heatherwick was chosen to contribute a major public artwork for the center of Hudson Yard in Manhattan – a structure that is monumental like architecture, but also elegantly shaped like a sculpture. Intended to attract visitors to the new commercial center, it became controversial for many reasons. Heatherwick’s newest addition to NYC’s landmarks is his Little Island, a circular pier, beautifully landscaped, with outside performance spaces and interactive public art. We will have a close look at the amazing career of this British designer who brings a whole new approach to the shaping of spaces and places, with a special focus on his NYC designs.
