This article is idiotic.
$5 cost. 25,000 pounds. BUT OVER WHAT FUCKING DISTANCE?
$5 gets me 23 miles in my Delica. It gets me 100 miles on my motorcycle. It gets me 30 miles in my Porsche 914. But the article says nothing about distance.
At what airspeed?
Fast enough to take off and then not fall out of the sky.
It could grip it by the husk.
It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios. A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut!
