flying trailer

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Junkyard Wars : One Thread

Hitch up an aeronautically engineered trailer to be pulled along behind a plane. It could have it's own wings, landing gear, even parachute for a drop off. If it worked on small planes it might work for jetliners, so we could just drop each trailer over each airport. But for Junkyard Wars we could start with a little Cesna Cub Piper. Okay? (and not one of those gliders, a real flying trailer)

Bad news, Julie: NASA beat you to it. They have the ultimate flying trailer- It's called the Space Shuttle. We live 160 miles from the Cape, and can see them go up from here. (!!!) I don't think even Art Attack can top this one!
