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.

>>841962
>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.

>>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.

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.

>>842109
>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

anyone feeling like flying car talk or nah?

>>842539
Sure brother, what do you have in mind?

File 177006800537.jpg - (323.55KB , 1280x720 , maxresdefault[1].jpg )

>>842590
first, the fact that they discovered or re-discovered that a conventional drone, with the rotors in parallel towards the ground is magnitudes slower than forwards flying drone with rotors perpendicular towards the ground, but this introduces complexity, since you ideally want both parallel for minimal takeoff, meaning no need for landing track, and forwards for high speed.
So that, it adds complexity, because you either have both or make the rotors transition from one state to another.
Then there's this fucko (1st pic) which says fuck it I'll land like a madman to remove complexity and one isn't sure if it is genius or just madman. However that's a very original take.
Then there's the question of who will be using these, and an easy take is that it will be taken by very rich people on their trip to the office from the far away suburbs. Not extremely rich because that one will probs take an heli. Why would somebody do that? Because city roads are collapsed in the morning and evening by people going to work.
I think these two points are enough for now.

>>842591
>1st point
Not mad. Good concept
>2nd point
Rich or not, it will never be mainstream in the civilian sector, because people are too dumb and careless to operate it. Autonomous? Yes. But like flying cars? No. It's just not the kind of society and not the kind of people that we have that would make sense to do that with. It's too dangerous unless it is for military where people can be trained and monitored and have a structured life. Flying is inherently more dangerous than driving on a road. Most people are too stupid for flying. It really takes a certain kind of mindset. Even in the military it's still dangerous. But there are people in the military more willing to accept the risks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think even people with small airplane licenses crash all the time. This is actually quite similar. Although helicopters are more expensive so there's more filtering in terms of character who gets the licenses, but even those crash, this would be both a heli and a plane. Sorry, but I just don't see it happening, unless AI completely changes the entire global society. But at that point AI can fly you safely anyway, so who cares.

>>842611
>point 2
it's an interesting discussion, I'm kind of fantasizing about some city for richfags kinda like the rich arabs, where they let free reign. otherwise at the very least in the first world that shit won' "fly".
I can also see grand canyon tours in those. And it's kind of safe to assume that they'll leave it all be taken care of by AI. there's an interesting take by some poster I read once. the era of secure airplanes was kickstarted by adventurous richfags of the old times, they crashed and burned like mad men, but in return we got many advancements on aeronautics security and safety development. maybe some third world places can provide reign for this to happen, but I'm not sure if richfags of the now are feeling as adventurous anymore

>>842612
>but I'm not sure if richfags of the now are feeling as adventurous anymore

btw, don't tell me I missed the weekly perfectly legal free CP thread?

>>842667

There are flying cars, why do few?
Well in my country we have just had over thirty-five years off illegal, some semi legal and other actual truly legal (those were very few and far between )
And well we have more twice as many cars and even more bad drivers to people who can't drive.
Oh, people call it all kinds of things , insanity, ridiculous, dangerous, criminal, scary....
You got me point, I call it entertaining, if you're sitting somewhere with a good view.
Trick is don't get close. It can be dangerous, some of these new people kind of can work a motor vehicle, they just leave the rest to god. Look both ways when crossing the street.

Right so the problem with flying cars are to many OP's back OP before the www meant Other People.

As weekly shit poster hopefully they got caught by being dumb enough to try and post that shit on wizchan, lol.
