So, I think this might be my first chance to post something that goes on both category "Aviation" and "Linux" :)

A battery-propelled self-starting sailplane (glider) with embedded linux controlling the lithium-ion battery pack and engine system

"The advantages" (of Linux) "are obvious -- we can modify or adapt anything we want. And we are starting to know the system well."

Pretty cool! Wish I had one of those.. Some day when I have a lot of free time (hah) I want to design graphics and usability stuff for airplane cockpit displays. On Linux.
