Wow, would you believe that he died in 1991 after retiring, just two years after this helicopter flight? I seem to remember hearing it towards the end of the video, too, but just posting it here incase anyone missed it.

@Divinized So in other words... multiply your base knowledge by 10.5? This is engineering, not science, by the way, and the Japanese aren't in any way special in terms of knowledge. This particular Japanese man and his associates ARE brilliant, though.
