00:00This looks like an absolute engineering disaster
00:02waiting to happen.
00:03An aviator strapping fabric wings
00:05to an antique wooden barrel
00:07and rolling full speed down a 30-foot ramp.
00:10Against all laws of common sense, watch the aerodynamics.
00:14The moment it leaves the deck,
00:16it catches ground effect lift,
00:18soaring 50 yards across the river
00:20before a spectacular belly flop into the water.
00:24Then comes contestant number two,
00:25a literal wooden crate powered entirely by bicycle pedals.
00:30Everyone expected an immediate nosedive.
00:33Instead, it achieves near perfect pitch stability,
00:36gliding all the way across the bay.
00:39Zero engines, just cardboard, courage,
00:42and the power of backyard physics.
