Whoa! I think I barfed on one of those at Six Flags!
Somebody has been playing too many video games.
We barely got the V-22 working after 25? years?
Does anyone see where the engines are located for the lift system? Or the driveline connecting them to the vehicle engine?
Didn’t we just add armor plates to Hummers - for like a decade? Hint - bunch of steel plates is not what we like to fly.
This is retarded - and makes Solyndra look like a good idea.
I always wanted to see them cross a v22 and an a10. Just take those big turbofans off of the Warthogs and use em to replace the turboprops on the Osprey. It could do vertical takeoffs and patrol or hover between the buildings in a city. That would be one scary beast! Can you imagine what it would sound like?
Humming Vee?
