Why are there so many claims without even a demonstration of them?

  What do you mean exactly ? There is a video embedded with the drone in action. What claims do you imply ?

    Well, the video shows a drone flying and some concept studies nothing more. No close up of the drone, no targeted flight in a certain direction, nothing. It lifts off, moves (seemingly uncontrollable) and lands again. What claims can be made from this about the used technology?

    The site and video claim all kinds of performance benefits, a better video picture, longer flight range, higher efficiency, quieter, etc. The video shows it flying about 5 feet and then a bunch of motion graphics. There's no substance to this design. If all the claims are true, I'd love to see it in action and learn more. If you go by just the video, it can barely get off the ground. Not so innovative when you look at it like that.

  Because the guy is trying to sell a license to the idea to fund development of those other claims. And unless this guys is Evan Ulrich[1] who explored the space[2] of single bladed propelleor microscale UAVs back in the 2010-2012 time frame I expect his patents will have to require the UMD patents as well (making licensing more complex) [1] http://www.avl.umd.edu/people/evan-ulrich.html http://www.avl.umd.edu/people/evan-ulrich.html [2] http://www.dcsc.tudelft.nl/~bdeschutter/private_20100705_acc_2010/data/papers/0306.pdf http://www.dcsc.tudelft.nl/~bdeschutter/private_20100705_acc...
