<- this, what's the point of wheels if you can fly?

Subjectively, that thing is hideous af. It's like a slightly smaller monte-carlo with bike tires.

Brug, ya don't have to be ashamed of sharing knowledge.

It's ice OP, I just wonder if they're going to use it for the military application when technology matures.

I can right now think of many craft that could be used either as autonomous craft or piloted craft for military missions like drone counterattack. For example if you put turrets on the back and the front of the vehicle with rapid fire gatling guns, rocket launchers, perhaps a 23 mm Canon, then if you install smart controls, it could single-handedly probably take out 10 smaller drones in a matter of seconds.

so basically I've spent like 3 years lightly obsessing over "flying cars".
As the other anon said, what's the point of wheels when you can fly. But wait there's more!
What's the point of horizontal flight mode when you can full forward mode?
Let me explain this is the fastest drone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_O45iEar4M
Notice something? fully forwards flight mode, just like a plane or a rocket if you will.
vtols do vertical takeoff, which is arguably essential for inter urban landing. However not taking advantage of the forwards flight mode is silly, because you're sacrificing x5 times speed if you don't. However, this poses new challenges, how do you combine fast forwards flight with vertical take off and landing? Well it's complicated, let's look at 2 models different takes on this:
1. no bi-directional rotors
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJgw9fdJJ3c
2. bi-directional rotors (and a personal favorite)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO51iCbUMK8

Let's briefly compare the two, first, 2 is merely a prototype, but it is cool as fuck, the drawback is the moving parts, more potential points of failure, etc.
The 1, first time I saw it I was completely disgusted by it, but after examining many vtol solutions I came to admire its simplicity, no bi-directional rotors, less problems.

There's off course many more models, but these are the ones that tickle my autism just right.
Bonus: my personal take, pic related.

>I just wonder if they're going to use it for the military application when technology matures.
the usual set of events would be military first, then richfags, then plebs like us
>guns
in the now, they strap an anti-tank round to a regular 150$ drone and just flyi it into a tank, is way more gorka morka than that, as for anti personnel they just put grenades or other kinds of explosives.
As for manned armed drones, who knows, but I personally don't see it happening, when they can just launch a 150$ drone and you and lmao all the way to the bank. It's complicated, we'll see.

kinda hyperbole, biological shits is too difficult to direct/control, though maybe an island nation that wanted to destroy the world could preemptively lockdown their country and 'release the kraken' so to speak, though unrealistic still.

>>841957
>>841967
It's for attack against the small drones themselves. Also we should release them in black neighborhoods for they are arguably parasites even worse than armed drones. It it were up to me I'd release them in all of Africa, middle east Pakistan and India. Target anyone even remotely tan or curly haired. If they aren't Jewish they shouldn't have been there, collateral damage as far as I'm concerned. The actual losses would be minimal, but service to humanity - invaluable.

Look, I'm not even strictly against niggers, it's just that they should know their place, WHICH THEY DON'T! So it's just a matter of somebody having to teach them a lesson or kill them while attempting to (I wouldn't put too much stock in it to be honest). As things stand, I don't even care about it one way or another - honestly. But I won't allow them to walk all over me either or others like me for that matter. When kindness, inclusion is returned with disgrace and hostility - somebody needs to be taught a lesson. As far as I can see it is pretty much only the white man that can treat others as equals and as their own tribe, but all others have only used it against us. I simply no longer stand for that. Neither should you. If at some point violence is necessary, so be it. It's the least that we can do for them at this point - put them out of their misery.

>>842076
jetpacks are hella cool and mature tech, but I'd like to talk about v-tols for civilian and military use

one challenge jetpacks and the like are facing is the following
>how do I shot gun?
because they require 2 hands to pilot, maybe integrating som sort of turret in the setup could work, or somehow managing to free one hand so it can shot gun
here's a mature enough one

>>842103
honestly, the tonged thing is kind of weird

ya suppose the design is arbitrary slash whatever fits the requirements, maybe more efficient propulsion means could be had, but for vtol the issue is how to power the device for a duration that makes it viable for any given application... arguably helicopters are vtol and a fairly mature technology. but dey don't have dat sexy car aesthetic.

>but for vtol the issue is how to power the device for a duration that makes it viable for any given application
I figure fuel like kerosene (commonly used for aviation, for some reason idk lel) or gasoline, electric batteries are not there yet, but they might be relatively soon, there are models that take the battery challenge, they have very small range due to this, again this might change in the near future
>arguably helicopters are vtol and a fairly mature technology.
sure, textbook definition of vtol, right? they're fairly slow for horizontal flight though, which some vtols "solve" not without introducing further challenges, like moving rotors a),b) or non orthodox take off and landing c) (first pic related).
>but dey don't have dat sexy car aesthetic
are you the "vtols need to have wheels and also have car functionality" guy?
in my opinion, that would be a nice to have, but complicates everything further and is not all that useful given that a vtol can take off from your backyard (yes implying you're rich, we're at that stage where they are the target) and fly to your office's rooftop and land there

this topic for the weekend

>>842266
Does this vehicle have both turbofans, helicopter rotors and wings? :-/

>>842279
yes, vertical takeoff and forwards flight mode, like a helicopter that can fly forwards non retardedly. Obviously they need a bit more work on it, but the concept's good.
Might seem silly, but with this they can travel (in forwards flight mode) like 5x times faster if not more. While still have the benefits of vertical takeoff, which is mostly not needing a landing strip, and thus being able to land on rooftops or backyards.

>>841962
as for this, I'm very driven medium range anti-drone shotgun
