This is some footage (including first person POV) of the latest iteration of the Jetson ONE eVTOL (electric vertical take off and landing) vehicle cruising around the countryside of Tuscany, Italy.

This is a first person POV video from a projectile launched by SpinLaunch, an upstart company that aims (for the heavens!) to shoot small satellites and other space-bound equipment into the atmosphere using a giant centrifuge (aka suborbital mass accelerator).

This is a video from a drone light show at Reunion Tower in downtown Dallas, Texas depicting a Pokemon card pack being opened, then Pikachu battling Charizard, all performed by 250 synchronized drones with integrated lights.
