As i saw the topic, i immediately thought of RPG's, i don't think thats a safe method of transportation across warzones.

I care less about whatever they have as long as they dont have JESUS. JESUS can fly higher than all of them

But dis can only move just a soldier, moving just a soldier out of hundreds of them... Which means they need to have as many as possible flying motors on ground.. Which is not really making sense to me... They need to add more sitting space on that thing.

It's work in progress, research and development

It is a start. The first airplane by the wright brothers only carried one or 2 persons. The only thing you can invent is complain and negativity

We have things like that already, they're called helicopters.

Its electric, weight and thrust is an issue. Untill lite weight batteries are invented, flying cars will be an expensive project. Anyday lite weight battery/Amps is invented, it will change the world completely. Something tells me the material will be found in Africa.

Who are you? Your opinion is not needed. Talking as if you are a policy maker. What did you produce in your country?

I think this invention by UK Gravity Industries is more practical and far more agile compared to the flying car

Innovation is a process. Cars did not start with 6 people compartment. Am sure late in this century people will be flying cars like we see in SciFi movies.

Haven't read the comments but I am sure it consists of people cursing their fatherland while praising people that don't give a shit about them. This contraption is nothing but a flying duck for an opponent wielding a RPG.

Lol you just spoke my mind, as in the stuff is already big enough, for them to add at least one more passenger. Since they don’t want it to look like an helicopter...

You should keep quiet. Who asked for your opinion. He is saying his mind. Learn to mind your business. You are both members here so you have no right to address him that way.

Righteousness89:
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Various Events,Technological Innovations , and Inventions being put up around the World are in Earnest Preparation for what is Coming on the Earth..

A Day is Coming! Where Men and Women whose Names are in the Book of Life will Disappear in a Twinkling of an Eye.

There will be So Much Confusion Every Corner of the Earth!
Mothers will be Searching for Sons and Daughters!
Missing Kids Everywhere!
Governments will be So Confused!
Multitudes by Millions Have Disappeared without Notice!
Terrible Fear and Great Despair Gripped the Hearts of Men!
Tears, Chaos and Regrets will be on Earth.
For the LORD Almighty has Appeared and the Saints have been Taken away..

Woe be to all those on Earth for you Refused God's Gift of Salvation..

Now is the Time to Avoid that Embrassment..

This don't look like a majestic USA tool.

This looks like an American university 2nd year project. This look like what the most advanced African country can come up with, it lacks logic.

This is easy to take out by an enemy.

Therefore this is not impressive. Aka thrash.

I don't know what the future plan for this vehicle but from what I am seeing helicopter are far better than this, one cos they can air lift more troops and that same time repel any enemies attack
