Anime flight physics for the WIN!
Rule 1 of Anime Flight Physics: Engines are for weenies.
Rule 2: Wheels are for weenies as well.
Rule 3: EVERYTHING has a thrust/weight ratio greater than unity and sufficient vectoring to use it for VTOL
Rule 4: the larger an aircraft is, the more manoeuvrable it is.
Rule 5: The Clouds Are Smaller Than You Think.
Rule 6: Even if you don't have any of the usual control surfaces, rule 4 still applies.
Rule 7: No matter how well you navigate, you'll ALWAYS need to make a course change that shows off your ride.
Rule 8: Course changes always involve a small dive and a climbing turn.
Rule 9: Air resistance means nothing.
Rule 10: the speed of your ride is directly proportional to how cool it looks and inversely proportional to your age.
Rule 11: You can pull any stunt you like at any speed and NEVER do the funky chicken.
Rule 12: any movable surfaces on your ride are just there to make it look cool when you park it.
Rule 13: There is no rule 13.
Rule 14: piloting skill is directly proportional to the insanity of your hairdo and inversely proportional to your age.
