Just a Concept!

[Tijeras_Slim]

flying up to 30,000 ft

Airliners will start having to deal with bird stikes and nerd strikes.

[marvlus]

I can’t wait to see the pictorial concepts from the Freepers on this thread.

[spetznaz]

Stealth? Not with those rotors!

[gibtx2]

having been in aerospace advanced projects for years i can tell you this concept is specious at best ... NASA need to do what we pay to to do and this is not it.....

[GeronL]

Good way to move some transplant organs across a state I guess.

[Gator113]

I love the concept.

I want one, NOW.

But it better have a pee vent. ;>)

[Brugmansian]

I want to see Barney Frank in one

[Paradox]

Powered by electric motors? That thing wont have much of a range at all. This sounds like a joke actually.

[InterceptPoint]

Not for the claustrophobic that’s for sure.

[pabianice]

As a CFI with 40 years' experience, let me say that this is insane and ain't never gonna happen. Just NASA blue sky stuff. LSA is the best way to become a pilot.

[ZX12R]

I don’t see the mechanism that causes it to transition from vertical take off to level flight. In the animated cartoon, it just leaned forward somehow.

[agere_contra]

Maybe it’s intended to be dropped from 30,000 ft and auto-giro its way down.

Otherwise, no way.

[dragnet2]

Would easily fit in my garage.

[Malone LaVeigh]

If you can’t mount Hellfire missles or a Minigun on it, I’m not interested.

[Touch Not the Cat]

That landing feet first looks pretty darn tricky.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

I don’t like it.. I get claustrophobic just looking at it.

[wildbill]

I assume they have a built in relief tube, but what if you’ve got an itch?

[Eddie01]

Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing
Anointment utensil he poots forths a quarter-ounce green rosette (oh ah yuk
Yuk... lets try that again...!) he poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosette
Near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design.
Later he says:

Some people... some people like cupcakes exclusively, while myself, I say
There is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of gods grey
Earth as that prince of foods... the muffin!

Girl you thought he was a man
But he was a muffin
He hung around till you found
That he didn’t know nuthin

Girl you thought he was a man
But he only was a-puffin
No cries is heard in the night
As a result of him stuffin

Muffin Man - Frank Zappa

For test pilot, I recommend Barney Fwank.
