Have you ever thought about how many apples would it take to take down a relatively massive remote-controlled plane? Or could it actually survive a few shots? The answer has come in the form of a highly entertaining and informative video.
The team over at YouTube channel FliteTest built a giant B-17 remote-controlled bomber, also called Flying Fortress. This American heavy bomber, which was used during World War II, was created by the Boeing Aircraft Company in response to a 1934 Army Air Corps request that called for a four-engined bomber at a period when two engines were the norm. The team's model is fully functional, and while this video won't take you through every step of the remote-controlled bomber's development and construction, you'll get to see it put against multiple apples fired from an air cannon. If you're curious to see more and simply want to have a good time, make sure you watch the video embedded above, and as always, enjoy.

It is possible to send loved ones' ashes into space, as Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols appears to have done when she died in July. In fact, an entire Star Trek Reunion flight is underway.
