I got one of these for Christmas when I was like 6. You threw it up in the air like a javelin and a parachute deployed, bringing it down; like that ever happened in the cartoon. [:(]

Would anyone care to discuss the aerodynamics involved in the design of her habit? Could she deliver a 250kg bomb? How about her flight characteristics?
