- detrites 4y agoDoesn't seem to be wobbling itself up to Mach 0.8 - do both claims belong together?
- fastball 4y agoThe VTOL part obviously isn't Mach 0.8
- jack_riminton 4y agoThis is a completely different design. Also looks far far smaller than a quarter scale
- jaclaz 4y agoIt shows that I am getting old, but "prototype" is IMHO a big world, both videos show what I would call "RC models".
- squarefoot 4y agoYes, used the wrong term of course, I meant something to show the idea.
- jaclaz 4y agoI know, I was trying to highlight how at the moment (like so many of these "innovative" startups) not much of substance is shown. The article itself seems to alternate between deecribing something that already exists and the theoretical calculation about something that will (hopefully) be built.
