Featured 4-wheel killer?

So this Russian company is coming out with a flying car that runs on hydrogen fuel cells.

Founded in February 2019, Scienex is a Russian startup in the business of designing and manufacturing safe, small and clean hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft for Urban Air Mobility (UAM). In December 2020, it has been reported that Scienex has been working on the Flyter project for two years. The goal for the aircraft design is to fit in an urban environment as an air taxi without having to change any urban infrastructure.

The Flyter air taxi concept design has been specifically made without any external propellers, so the aircraft can safely fly in a dense urban environment without its propellers hitting buildings, other urban structures, trees or people. The aircraft also has no wings. Flyter can land or take off from any parking space whether it is street parking or from a parking lot.

The aircraft can hold two passengers, has an estimated cruise speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), a range of 100 km (62 m), a maximum altitude of 1,500 m (4,921 ft) and has a maximum payload of 250 kg (551 lb). The dimensions of the aircraft are 5X2 meters (16 ft, 5 in X 6 ft, 7 in), which is comparable to a SUV or minivan, allowing the aircraft to land almost anywhere in an urban or rural unprepared site.

It took two years for the company to fine the ideal shape for safety, being compact, highly maneuverable and with high aerodynamic performance. The aircraft is basically a flying fuselage and was nicknamed the flying (bread) loaf and is referred to by its creators as a non-quadcopter. While there are no propellers on the outside of the fuselage, on each side of the aircraft are four large vertical openings for VTOL flight and to stabilize the aircraft for forward flight, and two rear openings for forward flight. The aircraft has four retractable landing legs.

Some Features Of The Aircraft:

Operating System: The Flyter aircraft will have its own operating system including autonomous flying, interacting with the passengers by voice control and interacting with third parties (such as flight control and other aircraft)
Cloud System: A cloud system will allow all systems to interact with each other
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for infrastructure management
App: The company plans on making a custom mobile app for on demand air taxi service
Compact size: Fits in a normal-sized parking space
Ground safety: It will be safe for anyone on the ground due to no external propellers
Flight safety: Its design will keep the aircraft from being inadvertently moved by gusts of air
High security: Will have security built into its systems
Clean energy: No carbon monoxide gases due do being fueled by hydrogen fuel cells
VTOL: Vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, very useful for urban travel, no runways or vertiports needed
Long range: Can travel from almost any point to point destination in a major city

The estimated cost for the aircraft was reported in a December 2020 article to be $200,000 USD (or ₽14.8 million rubles) per aircraft. The final aircraft design will look different than the current VTOL concept design per Scienex.

Detailed specifications of the aircraft are being kept secret due to its novel VTOL and fuselage design. The company has stated they have flown a sub-scale prototype in the fall of 2020 and expect to test flight a full-scale prototype by May 2021. According to the company, more development details will arrive closer to the summer of 2021, when Scienex is ready to flight test the full-size prototype.

Specifications:

Aircraft type: Hybrid-electric VTOL
Piloting: Autonomous via artificial intelligence
Capacity: 2 passengers plus luggage
Cruise speed: 100 km/h (62 mph)
Maximum speed: 120 km/h (75 mph)
Normal range: 100 km (62 m)
Maximum range: 150 km (93 m)
Maximum altitude: 1,500 m (4,921 ft)
Maximum payload: 250 kg (551 lb)
Empty weight: 600 kg (1,323 lb)
Operating temperature: -20/+40°C (-4/+104°F)
Propellers: Unknown

Landing gear: Retractable quad-legged landing gear
Safety Features: Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP), provides safety through redundancy for its passengers and/or cargo. DEP means having multiple propellers and motors on the aircraft so if one or more motors or propellers fail, the other working motors and propellers can safely land the aircraft.

 

This is basically a drone with the propellers inside the craft.

I personally don't see any propeller crafts practical yet. Because who wants dust and dirt to fly all over the people around the craft as it lands or takes off.

So let us keep dreaming of a true anti gravity 4-wheel killer.

Notice the hydrogen fuel cell is the most practical for this craft. Probably because of the weight to energy ratio.

 

At $200k price tag. It will probably be corporations, governments and wealthy individuals that will be the early adopters. Anyone willing to pay $200k for an exotic sports car, then this will be another toy in the bucket.

 

So the US Navy has given us a vague "How to manual" in how to change the gravitational field of an object.

Patent granted in 2018:

US10144532B2 - Craft using an inertial mass reduction device - Google Patents

"It is possible to reduce the inertial mass and hence the gravitational mass, of a system/object in motion, by an abrupt perturbation of the non-linear background of local spacetime (the local vacuum energy state), equivalent to an accelerated excursion far from thermodynamic equilibrium (analogous with symmetry-breaking induced by abrupt changes of state/phase transitions). The physical mechanism which drives this diminution in inertial mass is based on the negative pressure (hence repulsive gravity) exhibited by the polarized local vacuum energy state (local vacuum polarization being achieved by a coupling of accelerated high frequency vibration with accelerated high frequency axial rotation of an electrically charged system/object) in the close proximity of the system/object in question. In other words, inertial mass reduction can be achieved via manipulation of quantum field fluctuations in the local vacuum energy state, in the immediate proximity of the object/system. Therefore it is possible to reduce a craft's inertia, that is, its resistance to motion/acceleration by polarizing the vacuum in the close proximity of the moving craft."

"As a result, extreme speeds can be achieved."

If anyone understand this how to manual... please proceed to build a prototype.

The only reason I would think the United States Navy would release top secret information on an anti gravity device... is because the adversaries.. already built their own.

 

Patents are one way to legally prevent a technology from entering the market. This keeps the technology in the "black". In this case, it's only to be used by the government of the United States. So a company like Tesla or Toyota would in essence be told to "back off" of this technology. For a country like Russia, China or Iran who play by no economic rules, they will use this for "black projects" and military advantage. As so is the US. But for the masses we won't be allowed to see this in the market. With a patent, at least we can "try" to learn and tweak it enough to make it "free marketable" if the information is correct. If you understand astro physics, quantum physics...
