  • 1:19 into the video. WHAT KIND OF PLANE IS THAT?

  • Wikipedia says this: One of the most infamous multiplanes was the 1923 Gerhardt Cycleplane, a human-powered aircraft with seven sets of wings. Its flimsy construction and subsequent collapse was filmed, and this is often used as stock footage mocking early impractical aircraft designs.

  • 1:15 into the video.Things X2 as of now.
