3Dconnexion Powers North American Bid to Break Land Speed Record

Eagle designers will use 3Dconnexion SpacePilot™ PRO 3D mouse to design details and assemblies for the 56 foot long Eagle. The SpacePilot™ PRO is the ultimate professional 3D mouse..

Working in conjunction with our Lenovo ThinkStations and Lenovo ThinkPads, 3Dconnexion SpacePilot™ PRO 3D mouse will provide our designers using Dassault Systèmes CATIA V5 and Geomagic Software with a multi functional ergonomic friendly 3D mouse.

The 3D mouse redefines the way people work with 3D models and applications, introducing users to an easier, more balanced, two-handed work style. The pressure sensing controller becomes a virtual extension of you. Push, pull, twist or tilt to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate the model or camera view. 3D mouse users report a more streamlined design process, reduced work-related fatigue and performance benefits including improved error detection and average productivity gains of 21%. Eagle designers and programmers look forward to these same benefits.

3Dconnexion is not new to Team North American Eagle™ Our volunteer group designers and programmers have been using them at work designing aerospace products since the introduction of CATIA V5. Recently one of the programmers said "...you know this design work on the Eagle would be a lot easier if I had a 3Dconnexion 3Dmouse..." 3Dconnexion's line of 3D mouses work with a number of products being used by Team North American Eagle™: CATIA V5, Geomagic, Adobe CS4 video editing software and Adobe PhotoShop used to make our promotional videos. When we are on the road at Industry Trade Shows we always pack along 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator™ (above right photo) for use with our Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds notebook.

3Dconnexion offers a full line of 3D mouses. From the SpacePilot PRO and SpaceNavigator™ used by members of the team to the SpacePilot™ , SpaceExplorer™ and SpaceNavigator™ for Notebooks.

Team North American Eagle™ is excited about 3Dconnexion joining us in our quest to break the 763 mph world land speed record.

On the Newsstands

If you own a Falcon Business Jet, then you have seen the North American Eagle in the latest issue of Falconer Magazine, Issue 36 / 2010. If you're not lucky enough to own a multi-million dollar business jet, the you can read The Quest To Be The Fastest Car On Earth written by Grant Kielczewski, Managing Editor on line. It features extraordinary photos of our July 2009 test session at The Black Rock Desert, and tells the story of tenacity and resourcefulness as our team challenges the 763 mph world land speed record.

And last month Team North American Eagle made the front cover and great story written by Don Talend. The January 2010 issue of GPS World Magazine describes how we have integrated the Topcon GPS unit into the vehicle.

Intel Solid State Drive Videos

If  you haven't seen them yet now would be a good time to watch the videos we did with Intel promoting their indestructible Solid State Drives.

For All you F-104 Scale Model Builders

Tony Landis from NASA Dryden sent us this information. Rocketeer Decal, a manufacturer of scale model decals now offer a decal sheet that includes turning your 1/72 F-104 model with the livery of 56-0763. Cool huh?

We know a lot of our fans are on facebook.  Now the North American Eagle™ is on facebook!   In fact many of our team members are also!  Tell your friends! It's fun!
