"Battle of the X-Planes" was on Nova last night.  It was about the Joint
Strike Fighter contract competition between Lockheed's X-35 and Boeing's X-32:

They showed a clip of one of the engineers (I can't remember which company)
assembling one of the prototype jets.  He said "Just like Legos," presumably
in reference to the modular design of the plane.

It was a terrific program, by the way.  Those are some incredible machines.
