Of course the jet engine was also screaming at takeoff. Launch angle helped get it far enough away from terra firma until those tiny wings bit into some air.

Still way cool.

No steering, no gimbaled rockets, no attitude control system, no attitude control thrusters! Yikes! Just hoping to get that “bite” in the air before the thing veers off in some random direction.

The first guy to try that take off had some big ones.
