Pretty cool. I think I read that it's average cruising speed is about 45 mph? I didn't even know a powered craft could stay aloft at such a low speed.

I read the news this morning. That trip from Japan to Hawaii was a humdinger. Looking good now.

I think it's amazing. That is one truly huge wingspan.

Yeah the wingspan of a 747, but the weight of a passenger car? Cool.
