Slashdot Mirror
Project OpenSky Takes Off
Jesrad writes "As was reported two years ago on Slashdot, japanese artists, students and engineers under the lead of Kazuhiko Hachiya have taken upon themselves to build a real-size, fully functional Mehve (japanese website), the small jet-powered glider flying wing ridden by anime heroin Nausicaa. They have made a lot of progress, and are now test-flying the full scale, yet unpowered model by tow-launching it along with its thrilled pilot. They're having a lot of fun, too, judging from the movies of the testing sessions."

That is quite an invention.
heroinEEEEEEEE!!!!!! there's an E!!.
else it's under the jurisdiction of the ATF.
on second thought, maybe the editors purposefully insert egregiouss errors to troll readers into commenting, thus increasing ad revenue.
"Anime heroin," indeed. I may have a heroine addiction, but anime's not exactly a drug.
Mind you, my DVD shelf is testament to my occasional desire for a "Miyazaki fix." (And a "girls with guns fix." And a "post-apocalyptic adventure fix." And... well, you get the idea.)
I'm only wearing black until they come out with something darker.
I thought for couple of seconds, that the unfamiliar word "Mehve" was a Japanese word for Website. So, I was curous to see how the Japanese websites can be made full size and flown in the sky. And who would "click" on the links in this giant monster in the sky?
