[@Youhaverights6]

[@aviatrix2]

I strongly agree. To accurately define "drone"; A drone is an automaton or machine tasked with instructions that it completes on its own, whether air fixed wing, rotorcraft, ballon, land, sea or spaceborne. In other words, you don't have any knowledge to operate the craft whatever the vehicle it is, and the flight or operational controls won't let the pilot do anything outside the bounds of its programming. Just tell it where to go and what to do, and it completes the driving or flying, as well as what it does when it gets there and can return without any further intervention from its operator, just like the GPS-guided multi-rotor craft, full-autopilot planes, and self-driving cars, helicopters, ships and submarines. The flight systems onboard RC multi-rotors completely insulate the operator from any need for knowledge or discipline to operate the craft. They are completely ignorant of any rules, requirements, or regulations. Drones are now given to adolescents and adults as a 'toy'. The POV technology now has created fear through stupidity picked up by the media in addition to gross violations of FAA airspace. Those people have threatened the entire RC hobby for the rest of us. They have awoken the FAA beast, who has been peacefully sleeping for a half-century when it came to the operation of RC aircraft. This is the last month to comment on the FAA's proposed ruling on this exact issue, so make your voice heard. www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/12/31/2019-28100/remote-identification-of-unmanned-aircraft-systems

If you put external bags, for safety, emergency, you can fly more free, more altitude etc. The external bags are similar to passenger aircraft emergency ladder but with a small turbocompressor for keep inflate for long time, also similar to car airbags but bigger.

The use of an F1 monocoque is brilliant. Lightweight, aerodynamic, sturdy, and already designed and built.

[@robertosfield]

The F1 monocoque is designed for airflow passing nose to tail, not for the airflow around a multi-copter, and really doesn't fit well for this usage case. If the motors rotated for forward flight it might be a but more appropriate, but still not ideal. The use F1 monocoque is really about marketing not engineering. It does look cool so it's served it's function.

[@robertosfield]

@derestricted It "might" be impact resistant in this context, it all depends on how it's connected to the main spars and pilot seat/cage. In aircraft design you have to really have to optimise everything for it's specific purpose, aerodynamically, structurally, weight, failure modes. it's very different set of things you are optimizing for compared F1 or any other car. Just taking stuff from a F1 car isn't going to make it optimal for a multi-copter, it'll weight more and function less well. Your aircraft will be compromised because of it.

[@Igeltod]

not good design for the way a quad moves. the back is unnessesary wide for flight and will cause a lot of drag. front is ok.

@@lrz98gaming5 You have fallen for the marketing. No structural component works on it's own, as soon as you take the shell away from the rest of the functional structure it ceases to function as intended., it's not the same thing anymore.

What Is Islam? Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him
