The Block-Built Behemoth.

Starman-2000 is a research aircraft designed and built in the early 2010s as part of a program to test alternative construction techniques. While the program wasn't particularly successful in the direct sense, the airframes produced still got their flight hours, doing good work for the company's R&D department across a number of years.

The Starman-2000 is among the largest of these aircraft, yet despite its size it has the ability for some truly remarkable aerial acrobatics.

Give it a whirl, will you?
