So, once it really gets going, it's pretty much flying on just those two stubby wings.

Interesting.

I thought it was interesting that they didn't show it doing a vertical takeoff or landing - just taxi on the runway like a conventional aircraft.  Might have sacrificed some vertical ability for the speed.?  Interesting concept.
This isn't a dress rehearsal for life - this is it!

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
