It's a start yeah, then where'd they go from there? Build one that carries 10,20,30 people Is that not what a helicopter is already there for? We have enough tech in this world already, we need to calm down!!

The US is just being modest

When it comes to innovation don't even try to compare them with china

They show you what they want you to see and not what they have

E get why

Even China knows that it can't compete with the US technologically.

This is a waste of resources, Franky Zapatas model is better and far cheaper but instead of the US to patronize the guy since he is from France they are trying to do there's.


How is this better? If this fails, one is definitely going to die. And one needs to wear a protective suit.

The flying car is better

LMFAO, this can only be used against ragtag armies like Taliban. A moderately organized army will easily shoot this one down grin grin grin grin

The flying car is not weaponized. It's being considered for transportation purposes.

What fvckery...the pilot of this joke is nothing but just a sitting duck for target practice...just imagining taking this across BH territory..

You think the Americans are stupid? They made jets, helicopters etc.

If they seem it wise to make a flying car, they know what to use it for.

Lol they there, a US soldier values 20 or more soldiers in Nigeria both monetry and ability.
So don't say this anymore..

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.

The US is not an empire. It's just a corporation. A company owned by the largest empire, the British empire, which is still owned and controlled by the catholic church.

Most of you talk before you have time to think. Imagine this invention moving 5 snipers up advantage point of view to provide Arial cover for ground troops to advance. This isn't a transport apparatus,it's for tactical support! Think before you speak!!

The flying car is worse, if u fall too u will still die chances of u dieing with it is far higher than with the hover craft of Zapata.

U can climb it with a parachute on.

But with the car, I don't see any difference between that and a regular helicopter, I have seen smaller helicopter's almost similar.

Let's assume that all things being equal there's a malfunction on both crafts which do u think has a higher chance of survival?

U can't easily escape from the flying car cause the blades are directly above u, if u decide to jump out u might jump into it, that apart if there's a malfunction chances of u unstrapping urself from the belts opening the door and jumping out, u would be dead by the time u reach the ground.

But the hover board, u already have a parachute, all u do is before u drop u release it and ur safe.

That apart u have access to many more places than u have with the flying car.

Make ur comparison

This craft is not feasible. I can bet on it that they will not continue with the design unless they reinovate it to sth else, there's no difference between that and a regular helicopter

You are right. There is such a thing as incremental development. Our people just want to wail and complain for everything.

True. But consider there are already ways to move larger numbers: helicopters. These are small tactical bits that might be harder for an enemy to hit, that can get tiny units into an area nice and quiet (at night for instance), and evac individuals quicker.
