Lockheed has based much of its future on the C-5A and the Cheyenne. While the former is in trouble over costs, the latter is being criticized for its performance. The Cheyenne, a highly advanced, heavily armed "compound helicopter" can both hover like a copter and fly on stubby wings, propelled by a "pusher prop" that speeds it up to 250 m.p.h.

They had gradually gotten better and better seats for the performance, and now they were themselves on stage, playing dirges for their fallen hero...
...form or formal similarity between different objects. Each object it its material self, nor is there one kind of object is its material self, no is there one kind of object. "His films establish a distinction between things as essences and things as symbols" (Sarris), and treat only the latter.
