" Hello ? "

Aeronautical engineers have described the design as unflappable.

I don't think I'd want to be on it's maiden flight.

That looks like something from a James Bond movie.

If it's such a great design, why don't birds look like it?

Why don't birds look like that? Because other birds would just laugh at them. Rather as I'm doing now.

Methinks the designer was flying higher than the plane ever will.

That design is totally tubular, dude.

Potential name add-ons:

Thing
Swing
Beijing
Spring
Sting
Sling
Fling
Ding
G-string
