oh hey the dark skies guy. very tv-like channel with the repetition and the voice but they have done good stores. I never quite trust the content though. the project would be awesome to see, it's a natural progression from the harrier where pilots in the Falklands found they could move the nozzles partly in-flight to out-turn anything in the sky. followed by the f22 flight computer that moves any surface to meet to pilots input request efficiently, as opposed to the requested control surface from the traditional input.

super cool. if I had the talent I'd like to see how well a model plane would fly with no control surfaces but moving a tungsten CoG around internally.
