News in Brief: California, Wingless Plane. They said it wouldn't fly, but inventor Bill Horton's wingless wonder, with radical retractable stabilizers, proves the experts wrong. VS the airplane without wings, the stabilizers moving in and out. CU Horton. Tracking shot of the unusual aircraft taking off (but it doesn't fly more than a few feet off the ground in this clip). The machine looks pretty cool. Invention.
