NASA Two Person VTOL Concept Using Circulation Control Nacelle

[Allexxx96Reloaded]

The concept looks good but what if one engine fails? You will lose control on one side and if that happens while hovering, the plane will begin to roll to one side

@Allexxx96Reloaded No engine has failed on the V-22 Osprey, it's the same concept.

A sand plaster at best,Animation makes any stupid idea work

We have been able to do that with force fields since 47.

Thumbs down. Looks like another Osprey disaster in the making.

Great concept, very unusuall and the animations looks so real!!!!!!! Assuming: Gross Weight: 1300 lb. Propeller Diameter: 4 ft. Prop efficiency: 75% rpm rounding 5000. Sea level density. You will need 550-SHAFT HORSE POWER ENGINE on each wing!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a 6 foot propeller at 3600 rpm. The engine power needed is near to 400 HP each wing, so i am not shure if coanda effect helps you here....

[BrazillianFOsho]

is it possible for an aircraft to fly as fast as a plane without wings?

Looks like the cancelled 1976 Grumman's NAVY tilt duct fan VSTOL project. BTW I loved that design.

Two seats. It's your very own "mile-high-club-mobile". Assuming autopilot is available, naturally. "Sex in a hot air balloon? How quaint. Got something a little more snazzy, honey!"
