An experimental attack helicopter that looks like a flying saucer has been unveiled in China.
The strange flying machine, dubbed the Great White Shark, is loaded with an arsenal of high-tech weaponry and could take to the skies as early as next year.

For use against the U.S. Does genius Lebron know about this?

Looks like a flying fortune cookie.

Yeahh we got one two, has a crazy doctor on board, a family crew and a likable robot.
It looks like a flying fortune cookie.

I love that robot.
Co-pilot, I’ll slow down to 300mph so you can climb out and look over the edge to see if there’s anything on the ground we should shoot at.
Part of the reason the USAF “flying saucer” didn’t work was because computer technology to automatically stabilize what’s a generally unstable airframe didn’t exist at the time.

It’s not 1961 any more. And you’re about to be able to buy a similar drone that flies just fine off the shelf.

like a wingless dragonfly
Seems to have an awful big blind spot. They should name it The Flounder.
Love that “stealth coating.” It’s so shiny, the radar will go blind. ;D
The rotor loading on that will be so high that it will go through fuel as fast as a Saturn V booster.
It appears that Chinese Intellectual Theft agents have stolen the plans for the Moeller Air Car, ver. 2020
