Verticopter 2-seater version 1.3

Updated and improved not only in appearance, but in flight characteristics, this version of the Verticopter is the basis of a segment for a Discovery Channel: "Daily Planet" episode on Aviation, to be aired mid-November 2008 in Canada.

You can download and fly this plane in the X-Plane flight simulator.

Dare I say, it looks like the Osprey without the BS. Still though not as impressive as the Aeroscraft, the Ekip and the GeoBat

[danklaue]

I take that as a complement.

Not as impressive as the Axiom (Wall-E) either, but those are all a totally different class of aircraft. I don't really see how it relates to the Verticopter. With the Verticopter, it's not about size, but about efficient, high-speed, point-to-point transport.

THE PRORAY (DESIGN) HAS SAME ROTOR AREA, SAME COCKPIT SIZE BUT THE REST OF THE BODYWORK IS LESS THAN HALF THE SIZE, AND HAS VERY LOW SQUAT (AND FIXED) UNDERCARRIAGE AND ENOUGH WIEGHT SAVING FOR TWO EXTRA OCCUPANTS WITH SAME POWER! UTUBE SEARCH...PRORAY.

THE COCKPIT IS TOO SMALL OR THERE IS TOO MUCH OF THE REST OF IT. A LOT OF BODY-WORK AND SMALL ROTOR DIAMETER. LOOK UP THE HILLER FLYING PLATFORM YOUTUBE AND SEE THE ONLY REAL HOPE FOR THE FLYING CAR.

Is it about payload as well?

Great 3D rendering and a wonderful viceo. Well done.
