This is a normal post Fuck. That.
Also, how close do you want to get to those trees?

This is a normal post The trees are the only reason he's flying that deathtrap so high.
I notice it has no aerodynamics and no hope of surviving if you happen to shred the rotors in one corner (through collision or birdstrike or mechanical faults or whatever).

When a helicopter's main rotor fails or runs out of fuel it will let you land fairly safely. When one of this thing's 8 motors fails, or when there's a power failure, or you just fly for 10 seconds too long and run out of juice, you DIE.

Stick a couple of winglets on it or something. Anything to let someone plunging to their certain death convert some of that vertical momentum to horizontal.

Also I'm noticing a severe lack of jets on this thing called a Jetson.

This is a normal post I assumed it was called a Jetson because it looks a bit like the cars on The Jetsons

This is a normal post The resemblance is uncanny.

This is a normal post In profile, it rather is.
Still, it makes me wonder if the equivalent of regenerative braking would be any use in an emergency, sort of like when helicopters autorotate.

This is a normal post Maybe they could do that mars lander thing
with a couple of airbags. If it doesn't work, it could be a handy bag for collecting the debris.

Don’t let the dogs in the garden. I am landing.

This is a normal post The problem with these mountable drones
is that, aerodynamically speaking, they never transition into forward flight, merely hover-taxi around at low speeds that would be no good for most use cases.

I’ll transition you in to forward flight in a minute

This is a normal post I'd guess that will consume more power, with not gliding.
