yes ... there are some design flaws ... oh well ... it was never meant to be a real craft ... just a 3D model ... thanks for the comments anyways

[HeroOfTheJews]

doesn't matter if it would work ... it looks cool.

[fredmontier2006]

Even a stone can fly in cgi !

[psyeye69]

nice design man .But with nothing to hold the weals - so nothing can rotate them .. plus for a liftoff of 500 - 800 kg u need a much bigger "weals" . Good Luck

So many ignorant critics.

If they're so brilliant let's see their work!

Beautiful design.

@HeroOfTheJews What is the music?

@ogicabp4u

yeah that's probably better, although the back two would have to contra-rotate so that at high speeds it didn't get blown sideways across the road!

@ltcurry Who is Debree? why ask her? Most women / wives will destroy your wheels anyway if you make them angry enough!

[ogicabp4u]

@BeastPWNedGaston You can. you just attach the another axel to a straight axel through the centre of the 'prop-wheel' then you can rotate it in xyz in any direction both prop and whell dependantly or indepedantly along any axis. Think of a spinning gyroscope...thats what it will prob look like!

[ogicabp4u]

@brightingsky2009 it could fly but will just require immense amount of thrust per weight ratio for VTOL. I doubt anyone has the technology for a light enough and poweful enough source of energy and powerful enough motors that are also light enough at that configuration and size of props.
