@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!.

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'.
