Aaron takes us on a wild ride through the world of ground effect vehicles! He also explains what those are, so don't worry. We go into the Lun-Class Ekranoplan, the Bartini Beriev, and the Alexiev A-90 Orlyonok. These are low-flying, bizarre-looking monstrosities that adhere to the laws of physics and then go crazy. Do yourself a favor and look them up, preferably when they appear in the show so you can share Dan's shock and delight.
NOTES / DON'T @ US:
- Early on, Aaron talks about planes landing and what they do in the last few hundred miles. Obviously, he meant feet, yards, or meters. Something sensible.
- If you like this sort of thing, go over to Reddit. There are subreddits dedicated to all kinds of specific vehicles. One is r/weirdwings, which is an offshoot of r/weirdwheels. Both are just pictures of strange planes / cars. Good, clean fun.
