    We can't cure cancer, or find Osama bin Ladin, but we can make airplanes invisible. That's fantastic. :confused:

    Your title makes no sense...generally a person's fear of flying revolves around 1 of 2 things:
    1: Fear of crashing
    2: Fear of heights

    If you make the plane transparent, then #1 makes them freak out more, cause they lose the little security that a "solid surrounding" gives them. You also allow them to see exactly how far away the ground is, therefor making #2 worse.

    Am I wrong?

    And since I fall under the #2 category I say...FARK YOU AIRLINES!

    I have to assume the title was meant sarcastically.

    That will depend on the location of said fly.

    If the fly lands on the shifter, I would say it is operating the vehicle, and subject to a speeding ticket. The policy radar will confirm the speed you're looking for.

    Maybe they could design one that keeps the flight on time?
