  • @upajos Very interesting! Check out the D-Dalus.... that model seems to be able to take off vertically and move in the 3 axes of motion (x, y, z). I posted a video about it called "D-Dalus (IAT21) - an entirely new genre of aircraft arrives"

  • This is very interesting. I wonder if this could be the future of high-priority heavy freight transport for all kinds of routine civilian applications, not just military airlifts and mercy flights. Think of loading a number of seagoing freight containers and moving them from the Port of Oakland in California to Chicago in less than 24 hours, or a light, compact civilian craft that could carry a family of four to six swiftly and cheaply halfway across the continent in a day.

  • very cool, I'm wondering why all the designs I've seen on youtube have to the tail mounted so high. seems like the tail should be in the prop wash on an STOL. the ones flying on youtube seem to have a moment of no control as they take off because the wing starts flying before enough air is moving over the control surfaces
