Flying low, continued
Mickey: Ok, I’ve thought about your flying superpower. I do think it would be pretty useful.
Maya: See? Toldja.
Mickey: Now to make the power more interesting, let’s change it a little.
Maya: Go…
Mickey: What if you could fly really fast, like 200 mph, at a really low level, say at knee level? And the higher you got, the slower you’d go. You could zoom around at say 100 mph at around 6 feet high, cruise around at maybe 40 mph at 30 or 40 feet. Maybe 4 to 5 mph when you got up to 200 feet.
Maya: That’s interesting. So you can zoom upwards really quickly to slow down, and fly down to speed up. Would you control your direction with your arms and legs, as if you were swimming?
Mickey: Maybe…
Maya: But wouldn’t your neck get really tired if you kept your head up — I mean you’d need to so you wouldn’t bump into people when you’re flying around at knee- or waist-level.
Mickey: No, you’d be flying standing up!
Maya: You mean like you’re levitating?
Mickey: Yeah, otherwise it’s just stupid!
Maya: I thought that was the point.
