Nausicaa’s mehve has inspired a real life glider!

If you’re an anime fan, this is some real interesting piece of news for you! I’m absolutely convinced that most of you have seen the movie Nausicaa. In this movie, the princess Nausicaa uses some sort of flying wing to travel. Once again, our Japanese friends are giving life to what used to be fiction, and created some kind of glider designed exactly like Nausicaa’s flying wing. This is the OpenSky 2.0 project jointly developed with NTT. Cool, eh?
