slowrotor,
All of my vertical flight ideas have been determined to be impractical. .................. But right now, the hope for vertical takeoff has dimmed.
Your not alone. This is typical throughout Rotorland.
I check here once in a while, not much design stuff anymore.
Instead I am building an ultralight airplane. This aircraft might be used in the future as a testbed for some ideas.
How about you, any projects?
Yup. Two of us got tired of theorizing about concepts that also have limitations. One limitation being the lack of a few billion dollars.
We have started at the bottom and are building
an extremely light electric rotorcraft. It is also intended to be the testbed for developing advances in electric VTOL propulsion.
