afaik no horses have been sent into space?

AFAIK, rockets aren't the most efficient engines.

What's going on there then? - Is the plane inverted? What plane is it?

IIRC, It's one of the Boeing test pilots rolling the prototype 707...

When Johnson was asked by his boss what the hell he was doing, performing a stunt like that, he replied, "Selling aircraft".

No, but we're not talking about efficiency any more, we're talking about creatures covering ground.
But I think rockets are at least twice as efficient as you think once you take into account their potential as kinetic engines.

If you're going to change the subject, can you let everyone else know too?

I was going to suggest wildebeest and zebra, but then had a rather better thought...the wandering albatross!
(Anyone want to hazard a guess at how far a large bird that almost never lands can fly in a day???)

depends - do they fly with or counter rotation of the globe? ;0

Are they African or European Albatrosses?

It's a simple thrust to weight ratio.....

No it's not - how are they going to carry the coconuts?!? It's not like they've got hands...

They could grip it by the husk or suspend it between them on a bit of twine (i forget the actual word)..

How about this beast? Larger than an A380 and capable of carrying 10 tonnes while staying airborne for 5 days.

Can we try and keep this on topic. I can't see anything vehicle related there

Some awesome pics in this thread!

I thought BMW were based in Bavaria ? Surely that counts

It's a photo of the Kremlin but if you really squint you'll see a racing car, what's this all about Bavaria?
