“Silent”
Does the definition of VTOL not include the ability to transition to forward thrust? Looks cool but I’d just call it a multicopter
It stands for Vertical Take Off and Landing
The implied part of VTOL is that it’s only vertical for takeoff and landing, and otherwise primarily a horizontally propelled craft.
What do you mean a hot air balloon isnt vtol???
Yes I do know that, but I am not aware of any aircraft that is “a VTOL” but only does vertical take off and landing
If it only did up and down then it wouldn’t be very practical or useful in most applications. There must be some sort of propulsion
Tilting like helicopters and multicopters, you don’t need a dedicated directional thrust, just vectoring
It does have some surfaces that look like they could produce lift.
Traveling fast enough it could probably lose thrust and “land” horizontally… Until the legs grab and it tumbles.
Dang! That’s nearly half of your mom!
Lifting half a ton…for how long?
2 meters
Nuclear bomb capable of lifting tons find use in new search and missions. /s
Yes
Every angle appears to be a different design…
How loud is this?
Mf has at least eight rotors and can lift half a ton, so just assume it’s loud as fuck.
A silent aircraft with rotors enclosed inside its fuselage lifted off in front of an auditorium in downtown Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, during a public display on February 24.
This leaves me with even more questions.
Yes
Ok, but can’t they make it look less like a 1950s movie version of a UFO?
Can they make it look MORE like a 1950s movie version of a UFO?
ftfy
yea agree it looks gorgeous
I mean, we all have our artistic preferences, fair enough
it does look very retrofuture though I’ll give you that. I think I’m just glad it’s not a UTV with shit glued on the side like some of the other passenger quadcopters I’ve seen

reminds me a bit of the moller.
Wow that is terribly ad ridden.
No ads here ,which browser do you use ?
Apparently I touched a nerve with some. But I was just using the built in browser for voyager on iOS. But I also have nextdns and Mullvad in-use which normally provides fairly good coverage for me but evidently not on this site.
Mullvad is switcht off, blorp is the app i use ,link is opend in vanadium browser on grapheneOS
It never stops being so fucking weird that people choose to not use ad-blockers, and then complain about ads. Do you also not wear seat belts and then complain about neck pain after fender benders, or eat raw meat and then complain about getting sick? It’s just as dumb.
It’s weird to me that people complain about how long it takes to get to work, why don’t they just aggressively speed to get there earlier?
Sites need money to run and many rely on ads. Blocking them is an asshole move (that I admittedly do) but so is dumping them all over a page. It would be nice to have some sort of pay for what you use alternative but until then, bitching isn’t half as weird and obnoxious as whatever you’re doing in this comment
Until ads are responsible and don’t carry risks of injecting malware and trackers, I will block them without prejudice.
Even back in the day they would try to hijack your browser, redirect you to some random page, destroy ability of your back button to take you out, and throw up a ton of popups.
I don’t think blocking them is an asshole move until ads are served responsibly, without threatening my security or privacy. When, and if, that day ever arrives I will stop blocking them because I understand that most sites subsist solely off ad revenue, at least in this current Internet model we live with.
Just a reminder that this thread, and my comments, are in the context of someone saying the OP had linked a particularly bad website for ads, and this person being attacked
If your position is what you’ve actually written here then I don’t think there is a real disagreement but I am surprised by the effort. There’s only a disagreement if you think it’s reasonable to call out someone for making a comment about the ads on a website being excessive and telling that person they don’t get that privilege because they don’t use the internet your way. Everything that follows is just a retaliatory mirror on the issues with “your way” (yeah it’s another poster not you)
Blocking them is an asshole move
An asshole move is designing a site that bogs down your computer so that they can try and sell you garbage while simultaneously collecting and feeding data about the sites you visit to a corporate surveillance network in order to more effectively sell you more garbage.
An asshole move is consuming other people’s work without giving them something in return and then bitching at anyone that accurately points out you’re a leech
But yes, the current ads based system is mighty broken. I did touch on that, so did the comment before me, and I’m surprised an expansion felt needed

Yea theses were invented years ago, we called them helicopters.
Nice. I take it the paired rotors means it can manage if one fails.
I certainly hope so. But I doubt it.
It doesn’t take many flight hours to realize how many backups and contingencies there are in a normal SEP aircraft in case something fails.
And the common denominator for all these techbroesque personal air transport vehicles is the obvious lack of any of those.
China claims…
Its right here:

So you can save your excessively long ellipsis!
