    Ok, but can’t they make it look less like a 1950s movie version of a UFO?

          it does look very retrofuture though I’ll give you that. I think I’m just glad it’s not a UTV with shit glued on the side like some of the other passenger quadcopters I’ve seen

      Mf has at least eight rotors and can lift half a ton, so just assume it’s loud as fuck.

      A silent aircraft with rotors enclosed inside its fuselage lifted off in front of an auditorium in downtown Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, during a public display on February 24.

      This leaves me with even more questions.

        Apparently I touched a nerve with some. But I was just using the built in browser for voyager on iOS. But I also have nextdns and Mullvad in-use which normally provides fairly good coverage for me but evidently not on this site.

      It never stops being so fucking weird that people choose to not use ad-blockers, and then complain about ads. Do you also not wear seat belts and then complain about neck pain after fender benders, or eat raw meat and then complain about getting sick? It’s just as dumb.

        It’s weird to me that people complain about how long it takes to get to work, why don’t they just aggressively speed to get there earlier?

        Sites need money to run and many rely on ads. Blocking them is an asshole move (that I admittedly do) but so is dumping them all over a page. It would be nice to have some sort of pay for what you use alternative but until then, bitching isn’t half as weird and obnoxious as whatever you’re doing in this comment

          Blocking them is an asshole move

          An asshole move is designing a site that bogs down your computer so that they can try and sell you garbage while simultaneously collecting and feeding data about the sites you visit to a corporate surveillance network in order to more effectively sell you more garbage.

    Nice. I take it the paired rotors means it can manage if one fails.

      I certainly hope so. But I doubt it.

      It doesn’t take many flight hours to realize how many backups and contingencies there are in a normal SEP aircraft in case something fails.

      And the common denominator for all these techbroesque personal air transport vehicles is the obvious lack of any of those.
