1. yep, the eternal risk of the single-engine jet.

   But I saw an analysis and it could easily be solved with restraint cables like on other ramp or catapult aircraft carriers to make the engine run at full speed a few seconds before releasing it.

2. Woops

3. The cope slope just makes this video perfect

4. The plane just need some breaks.

5. What’s the point of having an F-35B if you’re not using its VTOL abilities?

6. This appears to be a successful launch of a stealth plane – disappeared really quickly!

   Glad the pilot was OK.

7. 12 million quid of ‘Scottish Government spending’ plunges into the sea
