Look, down on the floor- it’s a rug, it’s plane… no, it’s both… a big, floppy, saggy carpet plane. It looks like a stuka that got hit with a melt-ray. PEW PEW! I guess this would be okay if it was supposed to be a plane that crashed into the sea. Sadly, it doesn’t look like it makes a very good carpet, either.

Boeing just sent up the first fuel cell airplane. It produces zero emissions, and apparently, it needs all sorts of little fins at the ends of it’s wings and stuff. Come on, you can’t honestly tell me that those are necessary! It’s probably just a ploy to make people think it’s cooler than a private jet charter when they see it. Bragging rights, you know?
SnelFlight brought some interesting toys to the Toy Fair in 2008- The jumpjet, pictured here, is like a helicopter/airplane hybrid that can hover in place, land in the palm of your hand, and swoop around like an airplane. The remote looks suspiciously like an xbox controller, but this could just be a preproduction release.
What I’m really interested in is the UFO-like contraption that appears in the video below at about the 2:20 mark. Not only does it make me want to film an incredibly low budget movie about an alien invasion, but it looks like a mighty fine cat toy as well… maybe I could make an incredibly low budget movie about a giant cat that saves the world from alien invasion? I think I’ll name it Catzilla!
