Default Aerodynamics meets Taxidermy

A flying cat? Dutch artist turns dead feline into a helicopter - latimes.com

The photo is priceless, a Dutch artist converted his dead cat into a nice helicopter. Recycle, preserve, reuse.

Of course you will want to see the flight video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kSYh...eature=related

Think of all the euthanized pets that could be lasting contributors to science.

I'm thinking 30,000 or so of these, upgraded to a Tiger airframe and equipped with Hellfire missles might be the wave of the future. Please check the box for autonomous hive operation.

Of course they would all need lasers, visible and infrared spectrum.

Tigers with lasers and Hellfires. It is the way of the future, biomechanical with electronic enhancement.

Don't think you've got anything original there...That sounds an awful lot like, '...sharks with freaking laser beams...'
