@RCvehicleGuy it can do auto-rotation like a helicopter
-
@fubleduck no but it can do an autor-otational landing
-
@leqo12 about 1:3 but it is fully capable of an auto-rotational landing

Lets not forget; Alexander Chessin & Serge Trey!

A.M. Lippisch & Dr. F.K. Kirsten would be proud!!

I wonder, what would be the glide ratio of that aircraft once the engine stops...

i want to see a life size one + birdstrike on camera LOL

wow! what an amazing concept! I know it doesn't look good, but a machine that isn't sensitive to the weather and produce a high lift at low speed, that is worth looking into!

Ok, this is a very new spin on a very old idea. The old idea was very poorly executed and didn't fly at all. This on the other hand appears to be a break through on the scale of the Saturn V rocket. I wonder how well it would work in very low pressure environments (high altitudes or even the surface/atmosphere of Mars). Great job! I am truly impressed. 5 of 5 stars!.

Can it glide?
The comments on here are almost as interesting as the aircraft itself. It's fascinating how many people choose to look at the limitations, rather than the possibilities of this design. I guess it takes a special kind of person to think 'what if' rather than 'what's the point'.
