ICYMI: Hypersonic plane, social connections app and more

Today on In Case You Missed It: Germany is trying to revive a decades-old plan for a hypersonic commuting plane which would deliver people from Frankfurt to Australia in 90 minutes. A video for a social connection app called Knock Knock stars a couple celebs who will likely never ask to be connected to little old me at a party. And a custom drone builder is calling it what it is with a giant eyeball drone. Just to clear up any confusion.
And if your Mom keeps shooting videos to you in portrait orientation, tell her she may actually be a filmmaking genius after seeing this video of an art project displaying films in portrait form.
If you come across any interesting videos, we’d love to see them. Just tweet us with the #ICYMI hashtag @engadget or @mskerryd.
