>> Airplanes take off and land into the wind
Maybe it's you that doesn't understand their model?it is *highly* unlikely that at any given point in time, the current wind conditions are perfectly aligned with the runway. With 360* in a circle, there is exactly 2/360 chances that this is the case.With a circular design there is *always* some part of the runway that is *perfectly* aligned with the current wind direction. Therefore air traffic controllers can align incoming (and outgoing) planes with the current wind by just shifting which point on the circle they land/take off from. This way there is *always* an opportunity to land or take off in perfect alignment with the wind.Don't get me wrong, this is a massive shift in air traffic control measures (approach routes, ILM controls, etc.), and I don't see it happening any time soon, but the principle concept is sound.

Looks to me like the promo movie for any number of recent first-person-shooter console games? Protagonist? Antagonist? US? USSR? China? Aliens? it's all the same.

Shame on you, Neato.

This isn't the first case of animal cruelty you've profiled on your site. Didn't you learn the first time?
There's nothing cute about stressing out a wild animal like this. It clearly feels the need to defend its turf, whether that's due to food, family or something else. The guys behind the camera were wrong to pursue it, and you were wrong to demean it further.

Goodbye, Neato.

I hope she's prepared to deal with all the lawsuits after the sun goes supernova and consumes the Earth in 5 billion years' time.

Oh, hang on... wait a minute...

Exceptional cases apart (thank you, O) I think this is the perfect example of why you should NOT put boots on a dog. It's just plain cruel. That poor animal doesn't know what hit him, or where to go. There is no value in putting that creature through this. Shame on Neato for profiling it.

@Amanda949 - sorry, that's just wrong. If the blades are off then there's nothing to keep the helicopter in the air and it will drop like a stone.
I can imagine they do turn off the rotors in drills and testing, but this video doesn't represent that.

Anyone who's had cats knows this cat isn't saying 'yum, yum', it's saying 'bugger off! this is MY food' - the vocals are a sign of warning to others (or the camera) to back off.

Still kinda cute, though :)

I saw this in Hong Kong two or three years ago.
I'm glad I got to fly business class from SFO otherwise I might have been sweaty enough from flying economy to set off the alarms anyway :-D
