Why it works
The premise escalates from a familiar aircraft at 0:08.6 to a surprising proposal at 0:21.6, then uses study drawings by 0:31.7 as proof. Archival test footage turns the engineering problem concrete, with the 4:16.2–4:22.3 replay peak landing on a failed docking example and its explanatory diagram. The measured 18.3 picture changes per minute keep the evidence moving even though the shot detector groups some sequences into long shots.
