Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
And by "last surviving" they mean the one that didn't crash/explode.
ReplyDeleteOther than the incredible cost and cost of use, do you really want an aircraft where engine failure + 5 seconds = death?
On the other hand...
The "gyros" used in the toy helicopters and a modern computer controlled fly-by-wire system would make it flyable.
Those look like Mohler style rotary engines.
Is this a SkyCar?
