Closing the Loop: Fly-by-Wire, Functional Safety and Propulsive Landing
Three milestones in which software became the thing keeping a machine stable, and one standard written because that made software a structural safety concern.

Fluids and Comfort: Powered Flight, Sailing Hydrodynamics and Air Conditioning
Three milestones united by fluid mechanics: a machine that generates lift to fly, a rig that generates lift to outrun the wind, and a cycle that moves heat against its gradient.
Engineering↗
Making Things Differently: Additive Manufacturing and Composite Primary Structure
Three milestones that broke the link between geometric complexity and cost, and then took three decades each to reach certified service.

Pressure, Speed and Escape: Jet Airliners, Supersonic Flight and Spaceflight
Four milestones from a two-second rocket flight to a lunar landing, and one fatigue failure that changed how every aircraft since has been certified.
