Yep, and pretty much any other challenge. It's like pitting a snail against a top fuel dragster. Armed with a decent catapult, you can give the snail a mighty impressive 60' E.T., but it'll be all afternoon completing the 1/4 mile. ;D

Power to weight ratio is not even comparable (impressive considering it's around 20 tonnes of aircraft). :o
