Another VTOL ‘thing’
 

For potential investors to note:

If one has a deep understanding of PowerPoint and rendering software, an equally deep understanding of physics is entirely unnecessary. :)

How has that got stability in forward flight? Or any flight for that matter!

When are they going to design the rest of it?

I think they saw their investors coming..............

The press release is dated April 1...

good spot AC!
Voodoo Magic VTOL?

What is it using for lift surfaces in forward flight?

Ah, therein lies the answer! Didn't spot that! Well done AC!

Back in April 2014 I was working with the Met when they tweeted their new helicopter. . .

A lot of people fell for it..

Sort of a bit like an upside down Harrier..... good job they are not using a couple of Pegasus.... mind you I guess that a couple of automotives roaring flat-out above your head may be distracting. Seems to be in need of constant noisy engines to stay up in the air.

Worth having a look at their web site..... the design seems to change every month so this may well just be a picture story project....

The press release has come from Discopters and is dated today.

More info here.

At least I found out what happens when the donks quit...

This stuff even has it's own investors blog
Who knew!

That parachute is smaller than that used for ONE person, not 7 people, 2 V8 engines, a fuselage and some fuel.

But if "investors" are stupid enough to put their money into a CGI exercise, then they deserve to lose it.

If a pegasus jet engine was barely able to support the Harrier, I somehow doubt that 2 car engines can support this figment of somebody's jerkoff project.

Easy peasy - just after you have reduced the earths gravity and increased the air density - or even easier just make it out of unobtanium?

I thought it was a given in the non-FW world that noise creates lift... :)

Will it take off? How about engine/s out? Auto? Questions, questions.

Even as a massive joke, they couldn't propose to drive it on a road with:
a. Piddly little wheels that will trip over a snail;
b. Using airblast to push it up a hill or get away from a traffic light;
c. Relying totally on brakes to turn or stop;
d. That amount of weight on the roof and a Reliant-Robin-type nosewheel to turn a corner;
e. No front-end crash attenuation or airbags; and most of all
f. No windscreen wipers. Geez.

Pure cgi dreaming.
