Airplanes are wonderful things. They fly through the air and move people and goods at rapid speeds around the world. 

However, they have some downsides. In order to take off and land, an airplane requires an enormous amount of land for runways.

….and they’ve kind of done it. 

Learn more about vertical take-off and landing aircraft and the challenges in designing them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
