      It's true.

      Planes essentially fly themselves anyway right now.

        That is like saying humans can have sex with themselves, technically true but too impersonal for most people to bear at 500,000 feet.

          The wing flex on this is pretty awesome.



          Check out the 0:53 mark on touchtown, note the wings.

            Nice plane!
            Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

              What possible benefit is there to flexing the wings after you've touched down? This is an attempt to show off? Or maybe it was not intentional. I'd sell your Boing stock.

                    I won't be happy until they make glass-bottomed passenger airliners

                        I like flying. A lot.

                        (The actual flying, not the inconvenience of everything around it)

                            I've thought about it. It's an expensive hobby. I might just take up skydiving or hang-gliding instead.

                              I'm in the same boat. I've always loved it and follow it actively as close as a non-pilot can. Even have the Flight Sim games.

                              Just don't have the time or inclination to fly Cessnas, and don't wanna pay for it.
