link Will this have any military application? It's really just a tiny helicopter. Gyrocopters never made it into military roles that I've heard of. So I'm guessing this won't either. |

We're getting there … slowly but surely … :-) |

Probably won't make it into any military application, it's noisy as all hell. I'm still wondering what happened to the design for a hoverbike that used the engine out of a Tomahawk missile with mods like the Pegasus from a Harrier… |

I'd buy two, maybe four, at 25mm scale. |

I remember an article from the late 70's early 80's which had images of a flying dustbin, essentially a bucket with a turbofan assembly underneath…..the soldier stood inside and flew it by a simple joystick control. |

At a certain level, some kind of drone (so infantry don't have to learn to be pilots) that's small enough to carry on an APC but big enough to carry a man to the roof seems potentially useful for increasingly urban warfare. |
