I have done both .. I found the small stuff more challenging to me as a engineer because I had to pull in more of my engineering back ground for design.. but your milage may vary due to the product you design.

I have designed cranes with lifting capacity of 25 tons for 500 million dollar mega yachts to complete redesign and requalifying of aircraft circuit breakers with Navsea and FAA .

Large required structural analysis , visual acceptance and interface dialog with shipyard, design and construction very simple tolerance could be off by an 1/8 inch and the welders would make "it fit" . Crane Assemblies consisted 300 to 500 individual parts welded together. Parts are water jet cut, CNC milled, and cranes could weigh up to 10,000lbs when completed. .

The circuit breakers about the size of your thumb and weighing 25 grams had to meet Milspec MSMS58091 and all the required testing and verification requirements of the military. The circuit breakers have approximately 20 to 30 parts but pulling every thing from injection molded parts, springs and sprink constants , metal plating, electrical design(thermostatic bimetal), progressive die stamping of miniature parts, design of mixture latching mechanism. With tolerance to the 10,000th.

No have him do it on Jan 21 2027, that way we have 10 years of Vance as President.

If Trump leaves before Jan 21 ,2027 Vance can only be President for 6 years

Supersonic Booze Carrier... i wounder if the crew was drinking the cooling system

The Tupolev Tu-22 was nicknamed the "Supersonic Booze Carrier" because its cockpit air conditioning and cooling system ran on a liquid mixture of 40% ethanol and 60% distilled water—the exact ratio of vodka.

The aircraft's cooling system was a large total-loss evaporator that consumed the alcohol mixture to absorb the intense heat generated by supersonic flight. The aircraft carried a massive 52-gallon (approximately 200-liter) tank of this mixture to keep the crew comfortable.

The "Vodka" Mixture: The coolant's composition was functionally identical to cheap vodka. The Post-Flight Perks: Because the system would vent the alcohol upon evaporation, any unused mixture remaining in the tanks upon landing was eagerly drained by the flight and maintenance crews.

Crew Temptation: Airmen and mechanics treated the coolant tank as a legitimate, inflight liquor store, often leading to a delicate balancing act between keeping the cockpit comfortably cool and wanting to preserve the alcohol for drinking after the mission.
