No need to patent. This design already exist and patented in USA. Anyways, great work and keet it up

@draalvi Thank you. To the best of my knowledge there is not one but two different patents for similar designs. However, this design is quite different, since it was developed independently, and for different purposes. It has been designed for superior stability characteristics and heavy weight lifting capabilities. Therefore, it is a unique design.

Wait till you see Aurora-2...

@draalvi Geobat inventor posting here, really nice to see deviations unfold. The beauty of the original is that the prop is not mounted on front, relates to CG and maneuverability. Notice how the square and circle unfold. Big thanks to the builders of this design. To all, it's just going to get logically stranger! Suppress your ego and let the geometry unfold. Flying Saucers are coming!

@merlin5520355 Thank you for the encouragement. I must acknowledge that the inspiration for this configuration was the Geobat. But we didn't see the Geobat until after ours was designed. We were only aware that such a plane is out there and flies. Without doubt the Geobat's prettier.

Will be uploading the video for Aurora-2 shortly... Indeed, flying saucers are coming! :P

Guys wonderful job. Really amazing. Keep the good work going & if possible try to get the design patent asap.

@drasifjk Thankyou so much. Patent? Yeah good idea. We are still trying to finalize the design, though.

Very impressive! The body design is efficient because the small engine made it fly very nimbly.

@draalvi Every nation has a different patent office. What's patented in US doesn't apply to Pakistani patents unless those guys patent it here as well. Just patent it in Pakistan before you regret it.
