Although I haven't tried loading houses or cars onto aircraft, I can 
tell you that most airlines will allow you to carry one cat (under 
the seat in front of you), but NOT two: if you want to carry two cats
you do in fact have to buy a another ticket for it!!!

BTW if you want to take your wearable through the x-ray inspection
at the airport, here's a tip. Disassemble the parts and put them 
in small static resistant bags, and place them next to a laptop in
your suitcase. All the x-ray will see is a big black void where 
the laptop is. They will likely ask you to remove the laptop and 
fire it up, but they won't likely look in your bag at the wearable
parts. I had my wearable in australia and did this, and since the 
flight homw was 13 hours, I assembled my wearable and used it on 
the plane. When I held my GPS antenna up to the aircraft window
it read accurately a speed of 550 mph and altiutude of 35,000 feet!
By the way GPS is "receive only" (not transmit) and cannot affect
the aircraft nav systems, so don't flame me. I even showed my GPS
in operation to both flight attendants and the pilot himself and 
they were not concerned ...
