So what if the plane was a James Bond style car-plane powered solely through the wheels?

:-D

And how does a helicopter do a loop-the-loop if its sole thrust is downwards and momentum is achieved diagonally?

Maybe it's better to wave your hands about instead of using your boffin equations...

Here's something that puzzles me:

Is it only aerodynamic objects that heat up on re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere?

Surely a flat surface moving downwards with gravity would be subject to terminal velocity?

Why do Soyuz capsules get hot, surely the speed of air hitting them would slow them down, you don't see parachutists in flames...

... or does it all have to do with the electrically charged ionosphere?

Well I was going to mention this...

Not so long ago I went to some news article on the BBC website about a man that wanted to jump out of something like a balloon that was on the edge of space.

I remember it seemed very much like that game MDK...

@Hyperspeed, is this what you're hearing...?

No, I think it must be the spirit world calling me into the light...
