Title: NASA Drops Helicopter to Test Honeycomb "Airbag"
Post by: TheSoccerMom on February 13, 2010, 11:14:23 PM

Hey, even I can land a helicopter like this!    :D

An interesting concept -- with a short video of the drop.

(These passengers are sure quieter than Mikey's or G-Man's....    ::whistle::  )
