cool beans.


"UK-based Malloy Aeronautics is preparing to test a manned quadcopter capable of out-manouvering a helicopter and presenting a new paradigm for aerial vehicles. A 1/3-sized scale model is already gaining popularity with drone enthusiasts around the world, with the full-sized manned model expected to take flight in the near future."

The scale and stability of that prototype made me think of Thunderbirds for some reason ... and I LOL'd

I saw their two fan version and I always thought they would never solve the stability problem..

The new over lapping fan is basically a quadro copter with a narrow foot print... I look forward to seeing a scaled up version to see if it works full size... The logic for stabilizing a four blade system has been simplified to toy level already if it works here they might really have something people would want.
