When the camera was on him at lake level, he was about 25+ feet and it was moving the water like when a helicopter is flying over water and blowing it everywhere. It sounded like mini jet engines, but what is supplying fuel? I'm intrigued, and take my money! |

I'm guessing they aren't for public sale, but wow ! There was a cartoon in the 1980's that was like a speed racer style of animation of 4 different characters that were winged and wore hemets with visors. I have been trying to find the name of that cartoon for many years. Simeone on here has to remember. It was the same times of He-Man and the masters of the universe. Anyone please help me remember the cartoon name ! |

In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |

Up to 10000 ft in 10 minutes means a 1000 foot per minute rate of climb. He has no wings for lift so it's pure thrust. Assume he weighs 200 pounds,plus the gizmo and fuel and we are at about 300 pounds of weight.He needs excess thrust to climb.. 300 + pounds of thrust from any engine that small is revolutionary. It would change aviation . Also,you need to come down safely so your real rate of climb needs to be much greater to get you to 10k then back down under control. 93.2 mph wind blast and he would get blown right off that thing. It would be impossible to control or stay on. Yes I know the vid showed slower flight. But you could not test that speed and stay on it. If it can not be tested how can they claim it? |

I suspect there are four engines on this thing or one engine and four nozzles. I too question it's stated performance and believe that such numbers were achieved without a pilot in a purely drone configuration. |
