As someone who flies domestic in China, and has a pilot's license in the US, I can assure you that this isn't an issue.

I'm happy for them. I quite enjoy flying domestic in China. They haven't nailed the script yet, but they try really hard. Announcements are given in both Mandarin and English... even if there are no foreign devils like me aboard. Tickets are relatively cheap, meal service is standard (and usually quite good), and the…

Look closer... They're actually a bunch of these duct-taped to the instrument panel:

Fakes on a Plane.

More technology, I say. On the day of the reveal, we'll have an autonomous drone pull the sheet off; a pattern-sensing camera snap the picture; a mail-bot compose and send the announcement; and my email filter drop it in the trash. Progress.

Jyoti Amge?

I should like the Krugger more than I do... but at the end of the day, I'd choose either of the two Triumphs.

Fake vents and scoops... the worst. Besides just being lazy design, you pay for these little laminar-flow wreckers every time you take it above 60.

It's actually quite nice. Much better than that Traffic Island... which didn't have a Starbucks, much less an Apple Store.

She's obviously serious about nuts (or, seriously nuts)... It looks like she's packing a pound of Macadamia's in her cheeks.

I did the same thing, but used 95th and 70th percentile occupant manikins. If nothing else, it would make for an interesting commute.

Exactly... The H-point is 2 inches off the ground — meaning (apparently) one's ass is an integral part of the vehicle's traction-control system.

Rather familier...

No cast or molded parts... Plate glass windows... Looks like the whole mess was cut on a plasma table and just slapped together. Any half-decent shop could do that in a weekend.

Nobody was standing around saying, "That hole must go all the way to China." Therefore, China.

Ah! Now you're thinking with portals.

Well... a little more than vaporware. The problem with the Carver's tilt technology was/is that's it's not reliable enough for a production vehicle. When it works, it's fantastic, and an incredible blast to drive. However, the hydraulics are fussy; complicated; require constant maintenance; and are extremely expensive…

Did you hear that? It sounded like, "Goodbye... MR. BOND!"

We did. We leaked a ton of "swing-wing" tech to the Russians after we decided it was unreliable and a lousy aerodynamic compromise. ;)

I got a problem with them newfangled blinky lights and tuba-fan engines. What good is any of this razor-targettin' or cluster-bums if it can't keep them damn kids offen' my lawn?
