Nobody has done this before. It's landing and retaking of from a moving train. And the hard part is that I'm not gonna see the train, so it's gonna be a blind landing. The idea comes from a picture that I saw this beautiful old train that they called the Eastern Express. It just came up to my mind that we could put together the oldest with the newest means of motorized transportation. So train and aviation. The physics behind this project are mainly due to the size and the shape of the train. This is a 200 meter shoe box shape moving object. So the toolbox. But he leaves behind is wild, why have to fly it at 87 kilometers per hour when the train is actually going at 120 kilometres per hour is because the air on top of the container is much slower than the air outside the the area of the container. The cat training helped me in a very efficient way because ending line on the train can be comparable to landing blind on a car. The rear wing of the car was simulating somehow turbulence that is comparable to the wake turbulence of the train. We had to go into time. Human anticipation, cognitive training, which means estimating we're moving object is without seeing it. For me was was mind blowing. So it was really, really hard to believe that I could catch a tennis ball that I actually cannot see for 99% of its path, you know, or I could hit one Orange Bowl in between 8 yellow balls that are just thrown up in the air and I could precisely heat consistently. So my landing area was about 2m and a half wide and about 10 meters long. In the front I had about half a metre to maximum 1m margin because otherwise they would have not have enough space in front of me to reaccelerate and take off with this airplane, and this is the result.
