>>106989349Ugly as fuck. You can get a Mosquito helicopter for less, and it's turbine powered. You should absolutely need a pilot license btw, your average retard can barely park a car, you really want them flying these things?
>flying car>literally airplanewhy are people so retarded
>>106989516well its a vtol biplane>>106989449mosquito is probably a lot more likely to kill youalso requires a lot more clearanceyes technically you don't need a pilot license but they wont sell them to you without doing their training course
>>106989349Would not be efficient to use fletter rotors for lifting?
>>106989627I'm no expert but there's probably a good reason you don't see them on planesIt spends very little time actually hovering

>>106989349>doesnt require a pilots licenseyet>>106989449i think its neat. probably looks sillier on the ground tho
Imagine how loud this is.
>flying carthe US has been lying about "flying cars in 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" for decades
>>106989627now how would that scaled up fit in a lane on the road?
>>106990428flying car in X years was by no means as devastating to the economy as telling highschool boys in 2012 that self driving trucks were 5yrs away.
>>106990429Something like this maybe
>>106989349It looks like shit. Why can't we have anything cool?
>>106989349posted this couple days ago yeah looks stupid
>>106990552what's the autonomy?
>>106990559what do u mean by that>>106990552im being petty its actually cool just wish it wasnt going to be a dumb expensive toy no one gets to use. basically just a light drone
>>106990568how long can it fly
>>10699057220 mins kek
>>106990572could be a while if its good at gliding (i dont think it is)idk i didnt watch the video
>>106989349>>106990552>Want cool anti-grav flying car>Get shitty oversized drone insteadThis timeline is so fucking shit and gay, I hope an indian drives one of these through your skull
>>106990712Yeah sure as soon as you discover where negative energy is we'll build you one. What's taking you so long faggot?
>>106989349>flying carlol>electric vtollmao>wall street journalthe absolute fucking state. enjoy your 20min total flying time and advertising masquerading as journalism. this is some dangerously low iq nigger shit>>106990712chad.
>>106990552Yeah, you can probably get a small helicopter for half the price.
>>106990712No such thing as anti gravity. It's either props or jets. Pick your poison.
>>106990872those take actual skill to fly. Way harder than a normal small aircraft.
>>106990887No, no. It's really easy to fly, they made a trainer for it.
>>106990878>No such thing as anti gravity.unless antimatter repulses normal matter gravitationally... which we'll never know because we can't create enough antimatter for a gravitational experiment>inb4 that one studythat was inconclusive
>>106991928There wasn't a study there was an actual conclusive experiment.
Flying cars are going to be great until the first black gets behind the wheel
>>106989449>you really want them flying these things?Yes because I want the retards to kill themselves.
>>106991992they're never going to be something that ordinary people utilize. the tech is still far too shit. also using battery tech alone, giving you a massive 20mins+ operation time, is a dead end.
>>106991992>be me>year 2042, finally get my SkyCar™>freedom at last, no more traffic>first week is glorious, buzzing over plebs stuck in gridlock>hear on news: "progressive licensing initiative" passed>they're calling it "Equity in the Skies">no more pesky flight tests for "historically marginalized communities">my butthole clenches>December rolls around>decide to visit downtown Christmas market from the air>hover over the festive lights, sipping hot cocoa>suddenly hear "DINDU NUFFIN" blasting from shitty speakers>look over>see Tyrone "SkyKing" Jenkins in a brand new government-subsidized SkyCar™>doing barrel rolls over the crowded market>screaming "YOLO SENPAI" into his comms>watch in horror as he accidentally engages "party mode">spinning rotors shoot candy canes and roasted almonds at lethal velocities>then the main rotor detaches entirely>mass casualty event at the Christmas market>news reports: "Tragic accident claims 37 lives, community mourns">Tyrone survives because airbags>gets interviewed on CNN as victim of "unsafe SkyCar design">says he was "just tryna spread holiday cheer">mfw my SkyCar insurance premiums triple>mfw they make us all install "equity speed governors">mfw we're back to taking the bus
>>106991928It doesn't, it annihilates
>>106991992Rent free
>>106989349>propellersthat's not the flying car I was promised in the 80s. shove that caveman shit up your ass, OP.
>>106992410the electromagnetic force is much stronger than gravitational in distances and quantities we can testthought experiment: imagine if the moon was suddenly turned into 100% antimatter and its orbit was a true vacuum, would the anti-moon still orbit earth or would it be repelled away?
>>106992278>>mass casualty event at the Christmas marketLol you're not American.
>>106989349its been a while, actually
>>106992434It's orbits. It's the curvature of spacetime that causes the orbit so it doesn't matter what form you propose
>>106989349>Flying cars are real omgEhmmm we have literally had those since the very fucking beginning. Just drive your plane on the ground dude
In the video he says that after a flight it has to sit and rest for a while for the batteries to level out. When asked to explain, he said that the front motors only pull from the front batteries and rear motors only pull from the rear batteries during flight, and since the rear has to work harder the rear batteries drain faster. But when it's resting on the ground, there is a circuit that lets current flow from one battery pack to the other.Why doesn't it just pull from all batteries equally during flight? Clearly the circuitry is there since it can balance the batteries when landed.Is it a weight-saving measure since perhaps the balancing wires are too small of a gauge for flight load?But then, why didn't they just make the front batteries smaller and the rear batteries bigger, since they already know that the expectation is that the rear batteries will drain faster?
>>106994846Because it's cheaper, he just Copy and Pasted the same battery-motor pair and created what you see.
>>106989349You still have to call the airport and request to use the airspace, even if it's only slightly above ground.
>>106989349*solves getting from A to B*
>>106989349Why the fuck do you need flying cars, what we actually need is for four-seater single piston engine airplanes to be relatively affordable again and for them to have an actually new engine that wasn't designed in the 1960s
>>106992610per the currently accepted theory, which was never tested for antimatter
