It doesn't look like there's any redundancy if something fails. Helicopters can use autorotation to land if the engine quits, for example.

[@russbell6418]

Was looking for this comment. Does airflow create lift during an emergency descent? I can see it as a drone or with a ballistic parachutes. But there’s a minimum altitude on a ballistic parachute, they’re not an ejection system.

[@CarbonPhysics]

@@russbell6418 It will be interesting to see where this new technology goes, whether they use a ballistic parachute or whether it can make it to the ground if it loses power. I'm glad people are still coming up with new ideas.

[@jtjames79]

You can recover a drone with as little as two motors even if they're on the same side.

[@CarbonPhysics]

@@jtjames79 Yeah, I've flown drones out of trees after wrecking half of the props, but there's a big difference between recovery and flying one full of terrified passengers while navigating to a clearing on the ground. They will have to prove this to the FAA/NTSB. But again, I'm glad their invention exists and I hope people keep coming up with new ways to fly.

[@jtjames79]

[@ArminDressler]

Great to see this fantastic format go international. No ´big ABER´. :)

[@tiagotiagot]

Sideways gusts of wind will still be a problem; the only way it can counter sideways movement would be by rolling the whole aircraft. Maybe they could get sideways thrust by sacrificing some longitudinal thrust and aligning the rollers in a more X-like shape. Or if they can get the airfoils to get into more "sucking" mode and channel the thrust sideways thru the roller instead; I'm not sure how much thrust that would add, it would need a hole on the outside of the rollers, and adding an additional degree of freedom to the airfoil angle of attack control mechanism might be a bit complicated; and of course any thrust that is redirected is thrust that is not fighting against gravity, so they would probably need to be able to increase the rotor speed and only partially redirect the thrust thru the central channel. edit: Ah, rewatching I see some variants of the design got a third pair of rollers that doesn't do anything for lift and is just for horizontal thrust, and others that don't contribute to thrust, just hover and sideways thrust. Seems a little wasteful unless the downsides of repurposing the hover/thrust rollers somehow are worse than having that extra weight not contributing much to the main needs.

da ich glaube, dass auf diesem Kanal ein Kommentar noch etwas mehr wahrgenommen wird, hier ein Wunsch für ein Videothema. Es wird viel über neue Innovationen und Forschung berichtet und ich finde es könnte etwas mehr zur aktuellen Entwicklung gesagt werden. Konkret würde ich die Elektifizierung des LKW-Verkehrs vorschlagen. Ich bin auf den Kanal eines Truckers (Elektrotrucker) gestoßen, der elektrische LKWs fährt und das ganze sogar schon jetzt als deutlich vorteilhafter, als Diesel-LKWs empfindet. Das zeigt mir, dass wir in dem Thema schon deutlich weiter sind, als gedacht und dass es möglich ist, die Wende zu schaffen, wenn Firmen, die tatsächlich die Vorteile gegeneinander abwiegen die Entscheidungen treffen, und nicht irgendwelche Gewohnheitstiere, die ihrem Motorengeräusch nachtrauern.

Very interesting! I wonder if our current approaches with stuff like this will last into the future. Maybe in 500 years average people won't even recognize a helicopter and it's purpose.

[@guitaekm2]

I think predicting 500 years into the future is nearly impossible. I saw an image of 100 years ago what people believed to happen in 100 years and they already thought we'll all have flying cars and of course he didn't predicted the electricity revolution

Put wings on that fold out once clear of the ground. Slowly Switch the thrust to providing forward thrust once wings are deployed. Speed and efficiency should increase as a result.

What happens if one of the four rolls fails? Would the helicopter still be maneuverable?

[@guitaekm2]

I think it should be. The germanscienceguy said, that you can increase or decrease the thrust by just increasing the distance between those two circles

[@timkohler]

I think this is one of the big problems, conventional helicopters can auto-rotate if they lose power, I don't think this can (but please correct me if I'm wrong). So for safety you would have to be able to fly with at least one roller out, and ideally 2. Increasing the thrust from one roller for a short time should be possible. What happens if you lose both rollers on one side? Will need lots of double drive systems (just like twin rotor helicopters), and these are heavy.

[@tiagotiagot]

Would make a lot more sense to design it with an airfoil lifting-body and some stubby wings to help with improving efficiency in forward flight, which will be where it will spend most of the time.

[@sebparker]

Die Qualität ist gewohnt hoch und es macht mir als langjähriger Breaking Lab-Abonnent Spaß, gleichzeitig meint technisches / naturwissenschaftliches Englisch zu verbessern. Vielleicht könntest du noch ein bisschen an deinem "th" arbeiten, das "the" klingt für mich nicht so richtig überzeugend...

A whole-aircraft, or ejection-cockpit style, parachute would probably be essential for something like this to be approved for comercial use...

[@jurchiks]

The idea seems nice, but only at a first glance; the mechanical wear on all the moving parts of those roller-"wings" must be wild compared to a drone rotor. No way it can be cost-competitive.

The term is “angle of incidence” or “angle of attack”, not “angle of inclination”. It is the angle of the chord line relative to the oncoming “wind”, not relative to the horizontal.

[@Markle2k]

Also, “albeit” is not a German word so it is not pronounced “all bite”. It is a word constructed from the phrase “although be it (that)” way back in Middle English. The V2 construction is odd to Modern English, but it is a set construction. So, say “al-be-it” with the emphasis on the “be”.

The metric/customary units conversion is appreciated, but only necessary for non-technical audiences. We are taught “bilingually” in school, and only lose it from lack of practice.
