Supposedly the smallest and lightest (at 155lbs) production helicopter. Four engines provide a total of 40hp, and the beast can make a controlled emergency landing on two engines alone. 60mins endurance, 55mph cruise speed, 10,000ft ceiling. Ballistic recovery system (parachute) is optional. It's made in Japan and you can actually buy one through Ace Craft USA.<BR/><BR/>And I can see a number of limited military uses for something like this. Or remote exploration in rugged territory.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-39992485698045172862009-01-06T10:56:00.000-06:002009-01-06T10:56:00.000-06:00Woah - sure would make trips to the post office mo...Woah - sure would make trips to the post office more fun - BzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZownt :)<BR/><BR/>Go Go Gadget hat copter!<BR/><BR/>Here's one <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wd99ziWFF7Q" REL="nofollow">almost as small</A>, or maybe just with better seating.<BR/><BR/>I bet VXE-6 would like a few of these as spares - hee!Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854671368992589012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-29948825422258328612009-01-06T10:31:00.000-06:002009-01-06T10:31:00.000-06:00Two thoughts:1) That looks ASWESOME!2) I would so ...Two thoughts:<BR/><BR/>1) That looks ASWESOME!<BR/>2) I would so get my head caught in the propeller blades.Random Michelle Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817444379694818074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-6491246791627216672009-01-06T10:09:00.000-06:002009-01-06T10:09:00.000-06:00I always wondered why the jet pack hasn't made any...I always wondered why the jet pack hasn't made any tech improvements since the 80's.. everything else has made quantum leaps in technology, seems like it should have as well. barring that, this one looks like funMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341711121542863377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-13840794687846220872009-01-06T07:00:00.000-06:002009-01-06T07:00:00.000-06:00I thought that came standard with admission into t...I thought that came standard with admission into the Sooper Sekrit UCF, part of the government kick backs we get. :)mattwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934926340973044413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-469210105421289012009-01-06T06:54:00.000-06:002009-01-06T06:54:00.000-06:00WOW!
