EDS "Airplane"

A short EDS television commercial that shows an airplane being built while it is in flight. It is an early use of the 'building the plane as it flies' metaphor.

HN mentions it mainly as the origin of the phrase about rebuilding a plane mid-flight, usually applied to software projects.
