April 23, 20179 yr Moderator Wow! That is pretty slick. I still am rolling my eyes from their use of the noun "jet" to describe this aircraft. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
April 23, 20179 yr Very cool! I own an EREV (extended range electric vehicle), a 2017 Volt, so I'm really interested to see where this project ends up. Joel Murray @ CYVR (actually, somewhere about halfway between CYNJ and CZBB)
April 23, 20179 yr I could see this concept happening at some point Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

April 24, 20179 yr I've been following conversation about this over at pprune,org. There are some questions being asked about whether 1) the video is a full-scale prototype or something smaller, and 2) what the actual weight of the prototype is. The degree of wobbling in flight during that video suggests something that doesn't weigh very much. You could build something out of styrofoam and composites that would be easy to lift in this configuration. An airframe strong enough to carry 2 people and be reasonably crash-worthy, with enough battery power for practical flight endurance is a whole different ballgame. Especially if you add something like a ballistic parachute... X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator on Windows 10 i7 6700 4.0 GHz, 32 GB RAM, GTX 1660 ti, 1920x1200 monitor

April 24, 20179 yr It's just totally annoying to watch the video with the narrator repeatedly referring to it as a jet; it's quite cleary not a jet, it's using ducted fans. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

I don't know if it's the one shown here or not. X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator on Windows 10 i7 6700 4.0 GHz, 32 GB RAM, GTX 1660 ti, 1920x1200 monitor

Picture seems fine to me. I think people are being fooled by a tricks of perspective, but to be sure, I went back and screencapped shots that I remember from watching the video.
