The selection I heard on 91.7 FM was performed by Andrew Lawrence-King. This musical piece caught my attention because of how soothing but upset the harp sounded.

redundancy for flight safety is achieved because of availability and location of control surfaces. Higher aspect ratio wings can be used because of inherently reduced bending moments on the wing and overall aircraft gross weight is reduced due to structural and aerodynamic efficiency. This is different from a biplane‚ in which the wings are stacked more or less vertically‚ one above the other‚ such that their lift vectors are very close together and a separate horizontal stabilizer surface
