Could it be made to work with today's technology? Ignoring that it would be stupid of course
>>64576370No, you stand no chance of getting an army pilot and an airforce pilot to co-operate - I don't see how today's technology will help this... There's a reason this whole "you stay on your side of the aircraft" bullshit didn't catch on, fuck sharing. Get your own.
>>64576370Yes. The Army and Air Force are known allies and close friends. They love each other more than you can imagine, and their synergy would allow them to be more combat capable than any other aircraft in history.
>>64576370Now where did they get the idea to build a round craft that hovers?
>>64576489unimaginative poors playing with plates n shit in their hovels and writing stories about it.
>>64576489>Now where did they get the idea to build a round craft that hovers?John Carver had an X-Files poster in his office...
>>64576513Actually... This thing was intended to move in any given direction, at any given time. That shape is an aerodynamic wing - and lift - no matter which way you throw it....That's why it's round... Advanced tech? You'd be using magnetohydrodynamics to move the air out of the way before it touches your ship - explaining the lack of sonic boom - so it doesnt matter what shape it is, for that.
>>64576525Wow, golly gee.Sure seems like they were trying to copy something they saw in real life but didn't understand.
>>64576529*OR* they just picked a shape functional for the task.
>>64576529>>64576563The simple answer here wins. Who will it be?
>>64576370yeah, microcontroller flight controllers are dime a dozen and Youtubers are able to recreate SpaceX style single engine rocket landing with them.
