A miniature version of the glider first flew in 2003, and since 2006, it's been the chief goal of artist Kazuhiko Hachiya's OpenSky project. Last month, the craft flew before an audience at the Takikawa Skypark in Takikawa, Hokkaido. It's a beautiful, remarkable machine, and one we don't even have to wait for an apocalypse to see in action.
