[@Horace1993]

The momentum transfer from the rig and runners was fantastic

[@RaggedsEdge]

I was just thinking if they could somehow impart the energy of the jumpers to the aircraft with some rope and pulleys, that would be cool.

[@Horace1993]

@RaggedsEdge yeah like their descent into water. Not sure what rules are but they looked like they did what they could on the level of the platform. So cool how they transferred the slower heavy cradle and leveraged that into higher velocity sling of the aircraft. I was so impressed

[@reyajansari3995]

Not momentum transfer. Rig just reduced friction.

If they would have only tilted the wings slightly, and and inverted v's towards the wing tips, this thing would have gotten so much further than the record hold, never seen such a smooth take off like that.
