To be successful, these backpacks will have to be totally self stabilizing. The operator shouldn’t have to concentrate on flying to keep it from crashing. All the operator should have to do is move the control device in the direction they wish to go and the backpack should follow. The onboard computer keeps the device from crashing and getting out of control.
Then you would definitely want to use Windows as the operating system.
Windows never crashes.
And what keeps the onboard computer from crashing?
Oh, wait a minute: maybe they're not running a Windows operating system?
“To be successful, these backpacks will have to be totally self stabilizing.”
As an engineer and a pilot, no way I’d ever get into one of these. Most aircraft are, by design, either stable, or marginally stable (in the case of modern fighter aircraft).
This thing is not even close. There is NO inherent stability at all. Not even close.
