You really need to work on your landings. You are coming in way to hard. It should not slam down like that, it should touch down GENTLY like a helicopter.
Yes, this was in the early days of Verticopter test-flights. I also tried to demonstrate extreme slow-down capabilities along with pinpoint landings of this plane. To truly master such landings, you need way more experience flying, that's true. But I thought it served to demonstrate the technology... decelerating from full forward speed to landing speed in 30 seconds was the main point of this exercise, so the touch-down wasn't really my priority. :)
low alt engine failure? what about high altitude engine failure?

@hks85 Just glide. Like any normal plane. Version 1.5 also includes ballistic parachute system, for aircraft and occupant recovery.

have you thought of making a luxury version, making a longer fuselage for a capability of transporting VIPs.

Yes, you can see the 7-seater in the newer videos (search for Verticopter 1.5 on YouTube)

I could imagine myself as a US Marine Corp Harrier pilot or maybe the new F-35 stealth flying this thing. Very cool indeed. So how much does it cost?

The problem is that I don't have money ...

Do you do this to the guy at the corner store, too? Next time you feel like an energy drink, just put that money aside. (It's called "saving up.")
Within a week, you'll be able to get the Verticopter. :)

Hey it's me again.
I'd be happy to help you at this verticopter project. :)

Take a hint Pac- they're running a business, and that takes money. You want charity, go to the Salvation Army.
