    I love Tiltrotor, for the shape and its capability, i admire XV-3, XV-15, V-22, BA- 609, Eagle Eye TR-918, V-247, V-280, I wish each plane is continually production, and have civil version too, and maybe the Eagle Eye convert into manned personal Tiltrotor, or just 4 seater version. And for air ambulance..

      @@THESocialJusticeWarrior v22 is slightly better by crashes per 100,000 flight hours if i remember correctly. Plus the recent crash most people base there opinion of the craft on was completely on the pilot in command who ignored several chip or metal in the gear box indicators till the metal disintegrated the gearbox and engines.

      ​@@jameslochhead5068 The issue is 'Blackhawk/SeaHawk crashes are often survivable, where as the V-22 crashes not. There is a reason why the Marines were the only branch who initially approved flying the V-22... The Marine Corps attitude toward danger and life threatening situations is something else.

    @totally_lost1602 21 день тому

    Significant lift enhanced from low ceiling above the craft, and induced low pressure area above it -- reverse of ground effect. It's unclear that Atlas would have succeeded in still air, over an open tarmac, with only the sky above it. The low ceiling also restricted and impacted re-circulation patterns for each rotor at the center of the craft. I'm not sure why the AHS Sikorsky Prize team never questioned this, as it appears to be a carefully constructed breach of the original prize intent. This fact was carefully avoided in their ground effect modelling. Many people flying drones inside have already encountered the strong suction effect of getting to close to the ceiling ... which unlike ground effect is pretty stable, getting close to the ceiling rapidly increases lift until it impacts the ceiling uncontrollably. Google this: "quadcopter near ceilings" When the quadcopter is wider than the ceiling height by multiples, this additional lift is unavoidable.

    the wing is structurally inadequate quite obviously and severely compromised by having so many ducts in it (Ryan vertifan style late 1950s tech ) and would have numerous unsurvivable failure modes if it ever made it into full scale use. It won't.

    This is just amazing. (I’m going to ignore the video quality, it is what it is as the kids say today.) These craft may be strange looking, fragile, and so forth. The fact that they can get off the ground at all is a testament to the passion and hard work of their designers and everyone who worked on them. I congratulate them on their successes and wish them many more. As materials technology improves I expect more and more improvements. Even with the existing limitations at 71 I felt like a child again, grinning from ear to ear watching them fly!

    Have you met the De-evolved - souless Eugenics? Freed from long-held universal moral imperatives, the global transhumanist movement that nudges the masses to consume its wares also manipulates, patents, and, in this present "third-wave marketization" of the global economy, commodifies the raw materials of life. It pretends to be not merely a master of mimicry -biometrics, but an omnipotent all-knowing creator of material substance. God-level: "Divinity," according to WEF spokesman Harari, "is not far enough to describe what we are trying to do. Transhumanism is sweeping the world is, and we need to question it immoral imperatives that will enslave humanity . Don't be sheep led to the slaughter .
