This has been posted before, but the new thing is that the scale model has made a maiden flight: https://www.youtube.com/embed/XHFcLfSfJWQ

If you are wondering why the video didn't include the landing, the press release states it was a bit ruff. Probably means that it all but fully crashed.


Also, wouldn't sitting in the back row of this feel like a roller coaster during turns?


Why does the video have turbine noises? AFAICT the model uses electric fans, and not RC model turbines.


I don't even want to imagine the spin/stall characteristics of that thing
