The Aston Martin Volante

[Stephen Poole]

So much for that Cessna 177 that I was looking at. Imma start saving my money for this one. 5 million pounds in the UK (about 6.6 million US), VTOL, luxury 3 seater, 170 knots. I'm guessing that the blue lightsabers on the prop blades would take care of bird strikes.

Pulverizes, traumatizes, and cauterizes!

Were you my lab instructor when I was dissecting a frog?

Aw, man. It's autonomous, meaning a computer flies it for you. No pilot. Where's the fun in that???

Guess it's back to the 177 .. .. ...

Computers can be turned off!

I can't do that, Dave.

Two little counter-rotating props on each side are going to lift and propel that thing + three passengers? LOL

Another pic shows a big one toward the back. Still... the chances of this thing ever seeing air under an actual physical example approach zero.
