Abstract: Ten specific "wheel-well" passenger stowaway flights (the wheel-well area was entered just before takeoff) are documented in the N.Y. Times, covering the period 1947 to 1993.

Perfecting anti-aliasing on signed distance functions

And even when trivial solutions exist, it's not always clear why they are a good fit. Let's study that together
