The wind tunnel report was given undue credence, to the eventual extent that the aircraft ended up looking just like - a wind tunnel

"We decided to call it the Tampax Max after it was weighed, because it's a heavy bleeder and has no wings..."

Hoskins pushes the new Acme Drone Catcher into position, for the first demonstration of sucking them out of the sky.

Wings? Here we just play Lippisch service to wings.

Headache? Tense nervous headache? Take Aerodyne when you can't work out how the hell it flies...

Very good Hoskins but what is it? Well it flies to inaccessible areas of forests and shreds the trees and voila the area is cleared for the new Runway with a by product of self sustainable chipping for the boiler. Should keep the climate change protesters happy
