Genius idea - use the blades as the wings for the plane. They're close enough in shape. :)

- ReptileMan 1y agowith one wing pushing up, the other down it will be a fun flight.
- jauntywundrkind 1y agoBuild two windmills that spin opposite directions. I wish I could source it, it someone told a story of a contract no one could meet for dropping in either some heavy equipment to a site or maybe windmill parts? It was a small site and it seemed impossible to land them take off... The winning bidder for the contract just landed the plane then abandoned it. Not sure what else you'd do if your blades are your plane!
- ortusdux 1y agoIt's common to abandon mining equipment at the bottom of the mine, or have tunnel boring machines dig their own tomb. The machines are often custom made, and removal would cost more than their EOL value. https://www.untappedcities.com/the-200-ton-tunnel-boring-machine-buried-below-park-avenue-used-for-east-side-access/ https://www.untappedcities.com/the-200-ton-tunnel-boring-mac...
- xnx 1y agoGenius-er idea(?) - use the blades to make a helicopter that flies to the site and drives back.
- silvestrov 1y agoHow do you fly back?
- Krasnol 1y agoYou don't. The rest of the plane is the pillar of course.
