Elon Musk trying to get some air...
Probably needs a diversion from ground problems, his next vision is in the sky with VTOL supersonic transport!
Elon Musk's next big project could be supersonic jet - Telegraph Not SpaceX's but speculating. http://www.diskrotor.com/images/DRH-2a-w.JPG http://www.diskrotor.com/images/lear...-15%5B1%5D.jpg http://www.diskrotor.com/images/diskrotor-05-101.jpg |
Seems like a way to cut down on helicopter hub drag, blade flex, and to unload the blades by loading up the wing-shaped disk instead.
If you'd retract the blades into the disk, it could go a lot faster than a common helicopter which is essentially limited by blade speed. And DOH ! That's exactly the point ... http://www.diskrotor.com/concept.htm The disk rotor images are subsonic designs though. And the tail rotor / fenestron is an anachronism . |
