Simply amazing what they do these days. Vendors seem to alot of the manufacturing then the company just assembles the parts.

Spirit was Boeing Wichita until about 5 years ago. Boeing sold and Spirit was started as a supplier to Boeing. We also produce parts for Airbus, Sikorsky, Raytheon and Rolls Royce.

I've watched it lumber down the runway and take off. It just sort of floats up off the ground. Pretty cool to see.

Cool. I always see it sitting out there but never seen it fly. For the longest time I didn't know what it was used for.

Whoah.... thats awesome!

Physically that thing just dont look like it will fly, but it looks like it gets the job done.

I cant imagine all the engineering hours went into that swing away tail.
