  • Nausicaa's glider, called mehve or mowe, was brought to life by Kazuhiko Hachiya after 22 years of development.
  • The M-02, a jet engine-powered glider, mimics the anime design, allowing pilots to control it by shifting their weight.
  • The M-02 can reach speeds of 90 km/h and altitudes of 100 meters, impressing both otaku and engineers.
  • Hachiya's final flight with the M-02 at the Sora Matsuri air show marked the end of his 22-year project.
  • The M-02 will be preserved for display, with its engine kept functional, rather than being demolished.
