Why it works
The first aircraft view holds until 0:04.2 while speech begins immediately, then a 0:15–1:30 capability montage earns the delayed engineering problem. From 1:53 onward, misconceptions become visible mechanisms and trade-offs; the 5:15–5:31 replay peak coincides with flight footage and a red/blue airflow diagram. These measurements cover the opening six minutes of a video whose chapter list extends beyond 22 minutes.
