A wing and a prayer
The Dutch airline KLM aims to make the future of air travel eco-friendly by building a plane with no fuselage. Instead, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC], passengers will be seated inside V-shaped wings. KLM would use the Delft University of Technology’s Flying-V concept to execute its vision. The designers at Delft say the new configuration will enhance the airliner’s lift and significantly reduce drag. As one online observer put it: “This gives middle seat a whole new meaning.”
This thief needed a bigger car
A doorbell camera recently caught an unprepared thief pull up to a Miami home and try to steal a rather large package that had been left at the home’s front door. The Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC] says he struggled to stuff the very big box into the back seat of his compact car. It didn’t fit, giving the home owner time to challenge the burglar who wasted no time to drive off empty handed.
A very high-rise sand castle
It took international teamwork to build this high-rise sand castle on a beach in Northern Germany. The Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC] reports that the castle is so big that the experts at Guinness are calling it the world’s tallest. It stands 54.72 feet high and it took “builders” from five European countries, using more than 11 tons of sand, to complete the construction.
