NEW LIFT IN THE AIR

The video introduces a British invention that could transform aviation by allowing jet airliners to take off and land almost vertically using a rotating aerofoil. This innovation, demonstrated with models, promises to double the lift compared to traditional helicopters, potentially enabling rapid travel between city centers, such as London and Paris, in just 50 minutes.

What event is highlighted at the beginning of the video?
