Dear All,

Apart from donation to support Haiti victims, I have some curious question:

(1) How does aerospace technology and aeroplane related with and help to promote humanity and charity?

(2) What should be the design of the future rescue and disaster relief flying mechines?

In this video, the Red Cross deploy aeroplane to carry food, water and medicine to Haiti.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

P.S. Please donate to help Haiti victims.
