    With a few tweaks and a lot more flight time, but it has promise.....

    I suppose things like this will happen, Druk1, but there will have to be clear allocated flight paths. Drones are also supposed to be delivering items in the future so interesting times ahead.

    It's cool, I like that it is named after the Jetson's :)

    However those open contrarotating blades are going to make a hell of a mess of the pilot the first time one of the motors fails and tips this thing into the ground sideways.

    The real problem with all of these machines is energy density, it is amazing that the energy density is as high as it is now but it is also a shame that the energy density is not 10 or more times greater for something like 150 minutes flight instead of 15 minutes.

    The problem of storing that much energy I mean a useful amount of energy is not something that will be solved soon.
