I have mixed feelings about their "electric jet engines". I'm curious if those are more efficient than a quadcopter/plane hybrid. Though seems like the benefits is that they are using them for flight controls. If that is the case, they can change the airplane wing characteristics when they want which can be a game changer.
- ricardobeat 7y agoIt is a quadcopter/plane hybrid...
- syntaxing 7y agoHmm, I would probably put this in the class of planes with VTOL functionality, not a quad-copter/plane hybrid like Amazon and Google X's delivery drone. For instance, a V22 is considered a plane with VTOL but not a quad-copter/plane hybrid.
